    Hi Everyone

    Just looking for a bit of help and advice.

    I got back from hols about 2 weeks ago and have been moisturising daily. However, my legs have gone extremely dry and peeling, not heavy peeling, more like dandruff on my legs (sexy).....I exfoliate everynight in the shower and moisturise and nothing is helping.

    I have a few events coming up over the next few weeks and I will be fake tanning it so need to get of this dry skin or the tan is a no go.

    Your help and advice is much appreciated.

    What exfoliator are you using? Some of those in shower ones are a bit crap.

    Try something like Soap and Glory Flake Away - apply to DRY skin, massage it in as you apply, then hop in the shower and dampen it, a good 5 minutes per leg rubbing it in then rinse a lot, should remove all the flaky bits (worked on my post-sunburn peeling). you could try baby oil or an oil gel for moisturiser, i find they take ages to dry though.

    You could use E45 shower cream, or aqueous cream, as your shower gel for a while, as these are more moisturising than regular gels

    Hi lainey316

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am just using a normal shower gel with a loofah and then loads of after sun but sooo not working at all.

    I will try the Soap and Glory their products seem to be very good, I have E45 so will apply that after. It just looks horrible and have to wear a dress this weekend so really want it gone.

    Thanks so much for your reply. x

    Baby oil should do the trick...or maybe Bio Oil if you fancy spending a few quid ...
