I've had Keratosis Pilaris my entire life. I hope I can share some knowledge and experience in lessening it's impact on your life. I am not the lucky girl Snow White and princesses who have the nicest skin although my parents brought me up with a mini portion of silver platter. My whole skin made me self-conscious and you know how frustrating this skin condition is. But sorry to be the one to break that news to you, but it's best to get that information off the bat, don't you think? Treatment will be a case of trial and error and what may work for some, may not work for others. But someone who really suffers with this condition.
Keratosis Pilaris is caused by the skin overproducing keratin, the hard protein found in hair and nails which combines with dead skin cells to block the hair follicles causing red, raised bumps, or plugs. Always remember that keeping the skin hydrated with a good moisturizers is the most effective method. I will teach you step by step on how to do. It will take a while to see results, but using the products that I am using , your skin should start to calm down. Do not pick at the skin or over exfoliate as this can aggravate the condition. The key to dealing with this condition is consistency. If your routine stops, the build up of keratin returns and unfortunately ,so do the dreaded bumps. This is probably the most disheartening part of this condition, so when you see progress just keep going.!
