No. Don’t get me wrong, these little particles are not acne, but rather peri-peri-herpetic keratosis. If you check carefully, many of us have small reddish bumps on the pores of our skin, and in more serious cases, the pores will become darker, dark red or brown, and the particles will be rougher, looking like goose bumps. The most common areas where it appears are on the outside of the upper arms, thighs, neck, and even the entire back and cheeks – some people have darker, rougher skin on the cheeks, and although the granularity is less pronounced, it is also “chicken skin”. “Chicken skin” is not painful or itchy, and does not become diseased, but is particularly dry and flaky, and can also affect the aesthetics. The “chicken skin” is a genetic cause of the body. In people with this condition, the keratin around the hair follicle thickens, causing the hair follicle opening to become clogged with too much keratin, forming small bumps. In autumn and winter, the skin’s keratin thickens, “chicken skin” also appears more serious, and some even present the symptoms of “fish scale disease” – this may sound terrible, but in fact it is only caused by extreme dryness, so that the skin appears like a piece of fish scales like uneven skin tone The symptoms are still not known to many people. In addition, “chicken skin” is also related to vitamin A deficiency, you can take appropriate vitamin AD pills. The “chicken skin” is natural and cannot be “completely cured”, but it can be effectively improved. ① Gentle exfoliation Because “chicken skin” is associated with thickened keratin, gentle exfoliation is necessary, but must not be excessive. There are many ways to exfoliate, we use scrub particles in the bath with the body lotion, with the bath sponge, bath ball, etc. rubbing the body, can achieve the effect of exfoliation. Just, so wash every day, will make the already very dry “chicken skin” can not stand, and become thinner and drier, in turn will stimulate the “chicken skin” become more powerful. Our skin’s keratin renewal cycle is 28-45 days, so so fierce exfoliation, 1 to 1 1/2 months to do once is enough. The milder way to exfoliate is to use bath salts (table salt also has exfoliation effect, but the sodium in it will dry out the skin, “chicken skin” people or appliances moisturizing effect of the Dead Sea bath salts is better). You can take a bath with bath salts, you can also first dissolve the bath salts in hot water, and then mix in a plant-based body lotion (chemical agents will react chemically with the bath salts), in the shower. When you take a bath with bath salts, you can also add rose and sandalwood essential oils to exfoliate and moisturize your skin at the same time. Many people think that bathing every day is a good habit, but it is not good for “chicken skin”. The body lotion can also remove the old keratin to some extent, but may also wash away too much oil, so “chicken skin” people in winter 2, 3 days a bath is enough, or only use water to bathe every day, without body lotion. The most important thing is to moisturize the skin than to exfoliate it – exfoliation is only a means to an end. ”Chicken skin” is very dehydrated and very oily skin, using the general body lotion will not be enough to moisturize, but should use the pharmacy body lotion sold specifically for extremely dry skin formula, such as the Izumi extreme moisturizing body lotion, skin care spring camp moisturizing body cream, etc.. You should also use nourishing cleansing products when taking a bath, such as Skin Care Nourishing Soap, Avène Soap Free Nourishing and Revitalizing Soap, etc. Another key point is that the bath water temperature must be kept at around 40°C. In the winter, many people like to use hot water, think this is comfortable enough. But hot water is easy to “go oil”, but also too much to wash away the skin oil; and when the body leaves the hot water, the surface of the skin moisture will immediately evaporate, but also take away the moisture of the skin. This for “chicken skin” is “adding insult to injury” thing. If you have money and time, go to a spa and enjoy the body moisturizing treatment, is also a good way to improve the “chicken skin”. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of days to get a lot more than just a couple of days. This is a great way to get the most out of your life. So don’t scratch or scratch. If you need to show off your beautiful skin for an important occasion, you can seek help from a dermatologist. Application of retinoic acid, or peeling under the guidance of a medical professional, can make the skin look crystal clear within a few days. However, this is only an “emergency solution”, not a cure, and if often treated in this way, it will make the skin’s barrier function weaker, making the skin drier and more sensitive. Improve the “chicken skin” “expensive persistence”, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, after bathing with body lotion nourishing skin, do not do “lazy woman”, the skin will become more beautiful.
