Keratosis Pilaris (KP) routine that actually works!
If you have keratosis pilaris, you know what and how annoying it is. ๐
For those of you lucky people who don't know anything about KP, it's what we call "chicken skin", which is essentially a bunch of keratin build-up, creating dry bumps that are stubborn and almost impossible to remove.
I went to a dermatologist, and they told me I will have to "live with it", so I did my research and bought some stuff to prove them wrong. (No shade to all dermatologists, just to those who don't even try to help) ๐ค
Guess what! I started in January and I hope the photographs say enough. Unfortunately I never had the confidence to take a "before" photo, but the texture has changed completely and if you have KP you will definitely be able to see the difference.
I'm very excited to share my progress and hopefully help someone else who struggles with it too.
Anyway, here's what I did:
1. Twice a month I scrub with the Frank Body coffee scrub in the shower, before shaving. ๐ฟ
2.Twice a month, I apply the Lactic Acid 10% by The Ordinary after the shower on dry skin (and of course, not on the same week as the scrub) ๐
3. I apply a standard basic urea cream from the pharmacy, mine is called Lyofin-Panthenol Urea cream (you can also use the eucerin cream with urea), if I am not doing the Lactic Acid, I apply the cream on damp skin. ๐ง
4. I apply the Keep it Supple Body Oil by Versed on top to seal everything in. ๐งด
5. Don't forget to wear sunscreen on your hands and legs if they go into the light (Lactic acid causes photosensitivity) ๐
Do you love any products that helped with your kp?
