How to Treat Keratosis Pilaris
Right now you’re reading this article because you are interested in treating keratosis pilaris. There are a variety of treatments for keratosis pilaris including the use of topical lotions, exfoliating scrubs, micro abrasion beads, sunbathing and Seabuckthorn treatment. Treating KP can be an expensive process and can cost you hundreds of dollars in topical lotions and scrubs.
Exfoliate – Make sure you exfoliate every other day with an abrasive loofah or scrub. I prefer to use the KP Heavy Duty body scrub from Derma Doctor, but you can go the cheaper route and use Cetaphil and a loofah. The key point is to exfoliate and get rid of the keratin build-up. The rough, bumpy skin that is caused by Keratosis Pilaris is due to an excessive amount of keratin that clogs the hair follicle. Exfoliating helps reduce and unclog the keratin buildup in your pores. Some people have very delicate skin that can not handle the abrasive nature of loofahs. If so, make sure to lightly exfoliate with a less abrasive scrub or loofah, but most importantly, you MUST exfoliate. Without exfoliating, your skin will always stay bumpy.
