Tips For Keratosis Pilaris Skin Relief With Natural Treatments
Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is very common and about 40% of the population suffers from this inherited condition. While most people aren’t aware of this skin condition and categorize it as “chicken skin” or “goose bumps”, others are truly bothered by KP.
For those who are bothered by the condition and seek skin relief and treatment to smooth those skin bumps, there are several treatments and home remedies that can be of great help. Dryness and the sand-paper-feel to the touch seem to be main concerns when dealing with this common condition.
Home Remedies
It’s always good to implement some skin care routines that can help to alleviate the symptoms. These are just a few known home remedies that are inexpensive yet effective for KP:
Olive Oil: If you don’t mind smelling like a Greek salad every once and a while, try using a bit of olive oil on the areas you want to treat. Keratosis pilaris is categorized as a dry skin condition, so providing any extra moisture will help your skin. This will also help to improve the skin bumps feel to the touch.
Sugar Scrub: Take some regular sugar with some drops of olive oil or water and use it to exfoliate your skin. This will help to gently remove dead skin cells to improve texture.
Natural Treatments
If you rather use a treatment to control the condition, we can highly recommend products that contain a natural form of salicylic acid. If you’ve heard that salicylic acid have a bad rep, it’s because they are talking about the synthetic form. Natural, like salicylic acid from the willow bark, is gentler on sensitive skin types and it’s therefore a lot better than the chemical variations.
Another ingredient that seem a bit strange to most people is snail secretion from the common garden snail. Believe it or not, this ingredient is found in many skin care creams to trigger skin renewal. This ingredient has the ability to penetrate the skin and deal with the problem from its root, which is what you want to look for to control Keratosis Pilaris.
Keratosis Pilaris can be a really troublesome condition if you are affected by itchy skin bumps on your upper arms, thighs or buttocks. To control the problem, you need to implement a skin care routine. The basics to control a problem related to dry skin is always to moisturize. With that said, finding a skin care cream that contain snail secretion in addition to salicylic acid is the best way to prevent keratosis pilaris skin from ever affecting your life.
