There's an annoying skin condition that is common with many teenagers and adults especially around the winter months. It's called Keratosis Pilaris. It's those hard, rough bumps that tend to be red in coloration found around the back of the arms or on the sides of the legs. These genetic bumps that one in two of us get is a buildup of skin in the pores. If you try to exfoliate it just ends up irritating the skin. While the condition may not be treatable at this time, it can be relieved through acids or enzymes that 'eat' the dead skin or the buildup of skin.
In nature, papaya has a natural enzyme that eats the dead cells from your skin. For those of us that want a quick remedy for Keratosis Pilaris Dr. Mark Lees has created a product line especially for those stubborn bumps. It's called the BUMPY ARM KIT. It is only available to pros, but he does have the resurfacing body lotion that many of my clients have found to be very effective in reducing and eliminating bumps. Call 888-627-5533 to find a licensed professional to purchase from in your area.
Please comment below if you have had this condition and have had personal success with any products. I also did a search on the web and found Glytone. It seems to use glycolic acid in a two-step system for KP.
