I came across a bottle of Johnsons Lavender Baby Oil in the depths of my closet. Since its wintertime and Im all dried out from the indoor heat anyway I decided to try it due to some 2004 posts from chrina2 about baby oil helping her.

Well, its been about two weeks and the bumps are gone and only a slight bit of redness remains. This really works! After trying $$$$ on lotions and treatments that usually just made it worse, this little bottle of mineral oil took care of it.

What I do is as soon as I finish showering, before toweling off, I slather a generous amount of baby oil over my upper arms. I think the important part is that my arms are still wet, so I am sealing in the moisture. Then I towel off, patting the arms dry last, so a lot of oil remains. Then in the morning ( I shower at night) I put a little bit more oil onto my dry arms.

I dont scrub my arms anymore, or put any other lotions on them. Sometimes I put a little shea butter over the oil, and Im sure any other baby oil brand and/or scent will work as well. I still cant believe this worked!

I agree the baby oil is the cheapest and yields the most results! I'm a "beauty junkie"too! But, i am also very tight w/my money and Baby oil is the best. I am not completely kp free, but I'm touchable. I think the Lavender in the j&j brand might help reduce the redness too.

I can't remember the exact thread but there is a lady who "accidently" put some bath beads into her bath. She soaked for about 15 min. After she noticed how soft her skin was she found a pringles cup that her daughter played with as a bath toy. She s****ed her skin and she said it was unbelievable how much skin she s****ed off. I did this and it worked. It's messy but it helped with exfoliating.

i use a pumice sponge, on my arms and then i follow ur directions with the baby oil. what do u think abotu that???

is it possible that we are replacing some necessary natural oils with baby oil, and thats helping? there seems to be a link between our lack of oil (sebum) and the baby oil replacement.
