Arrow Newbie!

So, I've been attempting to research my skin issue because every doctor tells me there's nothing they can do about it, just keep it moisturized. I see a lot of people have it, it's so nice theres an online community for it. I'm a 20 year old nursing student and I've had it for as long as I've remembered. I would always get asked why I had 'goosebumps.' I have it on my arms, my lower cheeks, right above the jaw bone, my legs, and my bottom (but no one sees that, so i dont care!). It's so annoying...it looks like I never shave my legs because you can see my follicle. I've tried Lacticare, I exfoliate like a crazy person, and now I'm moisturizing with baby oil gel right out of the shower. Nothing seems to work, I'm just waiting to 'grow out of it' like the doc says. I occasionally use self tanner to help with the contrast, but I just dont have time to do that...and I'm totally not going to a tanning salon, it's not worth the skin cancer!

So yeah...I just wanted to introduce myself.

My name is DeAnna...and KP has ruined my self-esteem.

Why don't you get the professional spray-on tanner called "Mystic Tan". You can go a search on this site to get more information. However, it seems to be relatively quick, natural looking and neat, as it is done by a machine at a tanning salon. Furthermore, since it's a spray-on, there are no skin cancer problems to worry about.

yeah...it also costs about $30-45 dollars a session and its just like any other self tanner, you have to get it re done at least once a week.
