Steps
- Exercise to help tone your arms! Push-ups are one way to help improve the tone of your arms, as well as improve your back and chest muscles. Tricep dips and tricep kickbacks are effective, also bicep curls. Do 3 sets of 12, with 30 seconds rest in between sets.
- You may also like to take up some more formal exercise in order to tone up your arms. Great arm toning exercises include swimming, ballet, yoga and pilates.
- If you have dark hair on your arms, you could reduce the appearance of this by using a facial hair bleach on the hairs here. Alternatively, you could wax the hairs off or use a hair removal cream.
- If you struggle with bumpy skin on your arms, use an exfoliator on that area that help get rid of the bumps. Learn about Keratosis pilaris (KP), this may be helpful as well.
- Pay attention to your arms when applying moisturiser. Make sure they get all the attention they need, especially on the elbows, which tend to be very dry.
Tips
- Consider your arms when you get dressed or shop for clothes.
Warnings
- Pain isn't gain! If it hurts whilst exercising, it means your body is telling you to stop or take it easy.
- Never shave your arms. You'll end up with stubble as re-growth.
