Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a skin condition usually known as 'chicken skin' or 'goose pumps'. This skin condition usually affects the upper arms, thighs and buttocks. It's characterized by tiny, red or pink colored skin bumps that are hard to the touch. Keratosis pilaris is a benign skin condition but most people affected by this ailment want to find something that will eliminate the problem. Sadly, there aren't many treatments that are effective in eliminating KP.

Medically speaking, KP is caused by excess keratin. Keratin is a hard protein that shields our skin from dangerous substances and harmful bacteria. People with keratosis pilaris start forming a hard and scaly plug that clogs the opening of the follicle. This hyperkeratinization is what causes those small skin bumps we know as keratosis pilaris. KP bumps are small and painless. The hyperkeratinization makes the skin to have a sand-paper like texture, which is the main reason why individuals want to deal with this problem.

Treat KP

There are no cures for keratosis pilaris, only treatments. The following are some treatment tips to deal with KP:

Exfoliating is one of the easiest and most effective ways to make your skin smooth and bump-free. Make use of a loofah or rough cloth to gently exfoliate your skin while showering. Scrub gently and not too hard as that could make your condition worse. To make this remedy even more effective, try purchasing a gentle scrub or home microdermabrasion cream that contains natural ingredients. The combination of using an abrading tool in addition to the natural ingredients will help make your skin smoother. Use warm water when treating keratosis pilaris. Using hot water will only irritate and inflame your skin while cold water will prevent your pores to breathe and to unclog.

Moisturizing is another really effective way of preventing keratosis pilaris, especially if you use natural products that contain a natural form of salicylic acid and snail secretion. Willow bark extract can effectively unclog hard keratin plugs while snail secretion acts by deeply moisturizing and regenerating the skin. This combination of ingredients also prevents the production of excess keratin which will in essence prevent the formation of skin bumps.
