Well I've had this since I was a child and never realised what it was. Just thought I was unlucky and that it was my skin. Sugar scrub and a loofah reduced it for me but I can't afford that anymore as it cost over £20 and we are mostly reliant on my salary.

I was always embarrassed about it and always wore a cardi or shrug. It was Helena Rubinstein or some such make. The loofah takes away the dry skin. Someone like body shop might sell something like that? Try there? If you get any joy, please let me know! Good luck!
