even 11k steps isn't really a lot.
the answer is moisturize and exfoliate. like moisturize once daily at minimum, and twice if you need to. then exfoliate a couple times a week. i also found i had blotchy skin when i wore jeans often which i mostly wear skirts and shorts now. like the fabric agitated my skin, personally.
buy one of those scratchy shower sponges. i don't exfoliate with chemicals, just my scratchy sponge. i do it softly but consistently for like a minute on each limb.
get moisturizer and ideally dont get cheap stuff.

exfoliation might help! there are special body washes (i hear there's one from 'first aid beauty' at sephora that everyone swears by but it's probably $$$) or you could use a glycolic toner like the one from the ordinary (it's like $8 and i use it on my upper arms and thighs to get rid of bumps!). you can also also dry-brush, which i think reduces stretch marks and makes your skin tighter overall. honestly nothing beats just an exfoliating mitt sugar mixed with olive oil in terms of cost effectiveness though
you might want to look into keratosis pilaris. that's what a derm i saw once told me the little bumps are called and there are probably a ton of articles about it that go more in depth

Sounds like keratosis pilaris? A body lotion with salicylic acid can help!

Get a good body scrub and moisturize every day. I've been using shea/cocoa butter since I was a teen and my skin is not as bad as I expected it to be near 30 years old.

exfoliating and moisturing every day. I just use a soft loofa or facecloth bc i have pretty sensitive skin, then use a shea body cream after i shower.

I get ´´bumpy´´skin on my legs when my skin gets dry.. from cold air, hot showers etc. It really, really helps to moisturize! I suggest trying CeraVe SA smoothing cream, because it has salicylic acid to slightly exfoliate your skin while mosturizing it. It helped me, and my arms and legs feel like babyskin.

Edited to add: use lotion or baby oil when you shave your legs instead of soap or cream!
