First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub, Exfoliant for Keratosis Pilaris with 10% AHA, 2 oz

Product Information

According to Cedars Sinai, “Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common long-term (chronic) skin condition. It causes small, scaly bumps on the skin where there are hair follicles. The bumps are extra keratin.” First Aid Beauty is a PETA certified cruelty-free brand; they do not test any of their products on animals. The most common answer to improving KP is exfoliation and moisture. Exfoliating will reduce the appearance of the bumps and release anything trapped in your follicles and that is where First Aid Beauty KP bump eraser comes in. Follow up your exfoliation routine with daily moisture with a rich, creamy lotion and body oil. Not only does it improve skin texture but another impressive fact is how long the effects of an exfoliation session lasts. My skin remains smooth for almost the whole 7 days until it’s time to exfoliate again. 4. Soft, supple skin There’s a reason why this is the cream you see over and over again in your search results for “how to fix keratosis pilaris”: It really works. But only if you use it consistently—like so, soconsistently. I’ve thrown away and rebought this lotion a dozen times, always convinced it doesn’t work for me, and always convinced I should try it again.

If smoother skin is what you’re looking even if you don’t have KP this body scrub will help you achieve it.

Before this year I had no idea what keratosis pilaris (KP) was. But after a little research into the skin changes I was experiencing I found that the dark spots I’d recently developed on my legs were KP. The colloquial name for these spots is strawberry legs. Though the name strawberry legs is limited to those only affected by KP on the legs, KP can be found on other parts of the body. What is Keratosis Pilaris/ KP? Sunburn Alert: This product contains Glycolic and Lactic Acids that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards. Ingredients While KP is usually asymptomatic, it is often worse in the winter and less noticeable in the summer. "Arid climates and dry skin worsens KP as skin cells are more adherent and shed less frequently when they are dry," explains Blair Murphy-Rose, MD, FAAD, dermatologist, and Clinical Assistant Professor at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center. "Higher humidity levels and sunlight are believed to help with controlling KP." While this serves as an impetus to hit the beach and catch some rays this summer, layering on a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is essential to protect yourself against skin cancer and premature aging.

A few weeks ago I introduced you all to the First Aid Beauty KP bump eraser as a new product I was trying out. I’ve been having a great time with the product so far.I thought the sugar scrub did a good job of exfoliating my skin until I used this product. If I were to rank the two products I’d say rank the sugar scrub a 6.5 on a scale of smoothness and the KP bump eraser a 10. My skin is so smooth it gleams. After a fresh hair removal session and exfoliation, my skin is soft but my skin truly gleams after I’ve applied my butter and oils. I’m talking about the kind of gleam and clarity to make you see your own reflection. It’s beautiful. RELATED: 2 TASTY ANTI-ACNE DRINKS FOR CLEAR, GLOWING SKIN A better look at the pumice beads 3.
