What is Keratosis Pilaris? Keratosis Pilaris is a build-up of a protein called keratin at the opening of the hair follicle. This build-up produces spiky overgrowths of skin that can worsen as weather turns cooler and drier. However, Keratosis Pilaris is a year round condition and is not harmful.

Treatment for Keratosis Pilaris

Step 1 Gentle Exfoliation → On wet skin, use a gentle exfoliation product. Gently pat your skin dry. → I recommend the Microdermabrasion Paste (Rodan + Fields) to remove dead skin and to help smooth the skin.

Step 2 — Moisturize & Reduce Redness → Apply a gentle moisturizer on your skin. → I recommend Soothe Sensitive Skin Treatment (Rodan + Fields) to moisturize and reduce redness. The Sensitive Skin Treatment restores the skin’s barrier to relieve dryness, reduce sensitivity, and calm irritation. The optical filter in the product immediately neutralizes the look of redness.

The products recommended are guaranteed to minimize your red bumps on your skin. Don’t settle for “cheaper” products that will not work and will only make your skin feel and look worse. Save your money and get smoother skin by ordering these 2 products today!
