How to Naturally Treat Keratosis Pilaris (aka Chicken Skin)

How to Naturally Treat Keratosis Pilaris (aka Chicken Skin)

A painless, annoyance that for most people usually clears up or goes away by the age of 30.

But alas, those pesky bumps cause rough, dry patches and sometimes it tends to get worse depending on the season. In some cases, according to the Mayo Clinic, it could be a genetic cause. 

The good news is there is a way to naturally treat Keratosis Pilaris.

"Keratosis pilaris results from the buildup of keratin — a hard protein that protects skin from harmful substances and infection. The keratin forms a scaly plug that blocks the opening of the hair follicle. Usually, many plugs form, causing patches of rough, bumpy skin." according to mayoclinic.org

"AN ALL-OVER BODY MUST-HAVE!

I have been using Rene’s extraordinary moisturizing exfoliators consistently for a few months now, and my skin has never been better. I have dry, sensitive skin along with keratosis pilaris on my arms, and using this lovely scrub in the shower every other day has almost completely cleared it up. I have tried maaaaany different lotions, scrubs, etc in the past but none have really made a difference. These are incredibly effective, smell amazing, and are super gentle. I love how versatile they are, too! I am definitely a customer for life!" - Anna, Olympia, WA

Moisturizing Exfoliators: contain sugar to gently sweep away dead skin cells which block lotion, cream, or oils from fully absorbing into the skin, at the same the Organic Virgin Cold Pressed Coconut Oil absorbs deep into your skin, leaving you incredibly soft, and smooth and with moisturized skin.

It's the perfect balance of exfoliation and moisturizing, not too much of either ingredient means your skin will feel the softest it's ever felt.

So if you're experiencing this symptom anywhere else on your body, the Moisturizing Exfoliators are perfectly safe to use anywhere you're experiencing this. In fact, my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter has recently developed this symptom on the backside of her arms, and legs I use it to help smooth them out and soften her skin back to its baby-like softness. 

All the Moisturizing Exfoliators work the same, you simply only need to decide which scent you think you'll like the best.
