What can you do? Exfoliate! Combining physical exfoliants (facial scrubs) chemical exfoliants (Glycolic acid) will soften and smooth away even the driest, roughest, bumpiest skin. Here’s an effective way to control Keratosis Polaris on the arms and legs. Step 1: In the shower, apply a mild shower gel like our Sea Splash Shower Gel (bar soaps are too drying) to a loofah or our Exfoliating Body Cloth. Scrub the area in circular motions for two minutes. Step 2: After the shower, apply an exfoliating serum on the body (we love Glycolic Serum 17%) ) that contains a powerful percentage of Glycolic Acid. Follow with a body lotion. Repeat every other day… This keep the bumps to a minimum and reveal smoother, softer skin. Note: You can’t get rid of this condition permanently, but if you’re consistent about exfoliation, it should improve considerably!

I have this condition and have been using the exfoliating cloth and smoothing lotion for about a year at the recommendation of Renee. They are a true miracle!! The bumps on my arms and legs are almost nonexistest. Thanks for another great product!

Hi Renee,
Your treatment recommendations for this difficult-to-treat condition sound wonderful and effective. We also have excellent response treating patients with Keratosis Pilaris using Laser Hair removal, thereby removing the inciting hair follicle. This genetically transmitted condition can also benefit from topical Vitamin A derivatives to increase skin turnover. Thank you for making Dallas- and America- beautiful.

Thanks for this timely and informative blog post Renee! My 14 year old daughter has this condition and it truly is bothering her a great deal. She has the bumps and they have been identified by her doctor as the above-mentioned Keratosis Pilaris. If she cannot afford the products from your line, can you recommend something a little cheaper that will give her similar results?

Her best bet it to get our Exfoliating Body Cloth and use it daily with a gentle sulfate-free shower gel. It’s $14.50 and will last a long time if you keep it clean.
