Keratosis Pilaris (aka, KP or chicken skin) is a pesky skin condition caused by a buildup of keratin that plugs up hair follicles and results in inflamed, dry, scaly bumps. While the condition is considered chronic, there are ways to minimize the effects of KP and even reduce the appearance of these little bumps altogether — and the answers comes from one of my favorite skincare brands, First Aid Beauty.
Up ahead, we share one of the best ways to get rid of KP bumps, plus an amazing body lotion that exfoliates and hydrates at the same time to minimize the appearance of KP chicken skin.
Does Body Scrub Help Keratosis Pilaris?
The body scrub is formulated with a rich blend of glycolic and lactic acids for 10 percent AHA potency, plus finely ground pumice to effectively slough off dry, dead skin cells, polish, and improve skin texture. Albeit a combined physical and chemical scrub, the formula is ultra-gentle and considered safe enough to use on sensitive skin types. In addition to targeting Keratosis Pilaris bumps, the scrub can also treat acne breakouts on the body (including buttne), roughness, and scaly skin.
Sizes Available: 2 ounces, 8 ounces
Key Ingredients: Glycolic acid, lactic acid, pumice, bisabolol, colloidal oatmeal
Usage: 1-2 times per week
Should You Moisturize Keratosis Pilaris?
After you exfoliate with the KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub, reach for the First Aid Beauty KP Smoothing Body Lotion as a second step in your body care routine. This body lotion is formulated with 10 percent lactic acid, providing additional chemical exfoliation benefits and an excellent way to continue treating the skin between body scrub usage. It also features urea, colloidal oatmeal, and ceramides to provide ample nourishment and hydration to support supple-looking skin.
Size: 6 ounces
Key Ingredients: Lactic acid, urea, colloidal oatmeal, ceramides
Usage: Daily
