[Sweetyrex]

My friend is getting married and sufferes with keratosis pilaris in her arms. She moisturises, body brushes and exfoliates but it's not getting any better and she wants rid if it for the big day.
Has anyone used or got any recommendations of products or treatments?

Thanks

Exactly what I was going to say. Mixed with the body oil it works wonders!

I have this on my arms too.

I recommend good exfoliation, good moisturisation & NO PICKING! A product with salicylic acid will help to remove the keratin plugs.

I know its not a professional product, but on my wedding day I used Sally Hansens Airbrush Legs (but on my arms) as this is water resistant and covers minor imperfections without rubbing off.

I hope that helps.

Hmm mine has a mind of its own , think the weather affects it as I can go for months with it being minimal then bam all of a sudden lots of little bumps !!

Yeah both products would be ideal! But even on its own its amazing. I have really bad keratosis Pilaris on my bum and hip bones. Along with exfoliation it's the only thing that has helped

Ooh! didn't know you could use it on it's own. I'll remember that!

It's much better to use with body oil but its the hydrating lotion that helps the keratosis Pilaris. It's great for dry, hard feet too

Sorry I mean pre cleanse oil

 

[littlekate]

Dermalogica body hydrating cream is fab for that too x

No the pre cleanse oil is for the face. It's called AVST hydrating lotion, I think if I can remember it used to be called derma-lac lotion so may still be called that in South Africa if you are looking at the main website. Best to call 02084502020 to find your nearest stockist x

Microdermabrasion can be done on the arms, and can really help.
I done it for my sister who suffers the same problem! And obviously a good body moisturiser x
