While there’s no “instant cure,” consistent care can make your skin smooth and soft again:
1. Exfoliate Gently:
Use a mild scrub or loofah 2–3 times a week to remove dead skin cells. Avoid harsh scrubbing — it can make the bumps worse.
2. Moisturize Daily:
After a shower, apply a lotion with urea, lactic acid, or coconut oil to keep your skin hydrated.
3. Try Natural Remedies:
Mix honey + sugar + coconut oil to make a gentle exfoliating paste. Massage lightly and rinse with warm water.
4. Warm (Not Hot) Showers:
Hot water can dry your skin more, so stick to warm showers and mild soap.
5. Stay Consistent:
It takes time! Regular moisturizing and exfoliation can fade the bumps in a few weeks.
🌼 When to See a Doctor
If your bumps are itchy, inflamed, or spreading fast, see a dermatologist — they can recommend creams with retinoids or other gentle treatments.
Bottom line: Keratosis Pilaris is harmless, common, and totally manageable with proper care. With a little patience and moisture, your skin can feel soft, smooth, and confident again!
