Keratosis pilaris otherwise known as chicken skin is extremely common: a dry skin condition caused by keratin (skin protein) accumulating in the hair follicles. To manage: 👩🏿‍⚕️Start off with a salicylic acid cleanser to help combat the sebum that is trapping the keratin. 👩🏿‍⚕️Using glycolic acid helps to loosen the keratin plugs and reduce skin texture. 👩🏿‍⚕️ Topical retinoids are the magic ingredient that does everything in skincare and works wonders on keratosis pilaris. 👩🏿‍⚕️MOISTURISE - this is hugely important. Keratosis Pilaris causes very dry skin. Look out for ingredients like ceramides and urea! #keratosispilaris #doctortips #dryskin #chickenskin #hidradenitissuppurativa #healthyskin #retinol #ureaskin
