What Causes A Keratosis Pilaris Flare Up?

Keratosis Pilaris, triggered by a protein build-up called Keratin, manifests as dry, rough patches and goosebump-like pimples on the face, legs, and upper arms. Uncover the culprits behind flare-ups and explore AMELIORATE's targeted solutions.  

Understanding Keratosis Pilaris Flare Up Triggers: 

Excessive Exfoliation:

While exfoliation aids in KP treatment, overdoing it can inflame and irritate the skin. Opt for gentle chemical exfoliants like AMELIORATE's Resurfacing Facial Cleanser, enriched with PHA’s for effective yet mild exfoliation that leaves the skin replenished and relieved. 

Dehydration:

Moisturising is crucial for managing KP, especially on the face. AMELIORATE's Replenishing Facial Cream, infused with Ceramides and CICA, nourishes and protects, promoting skin hydration and radiance. 

If the skin on your body feels similarly dehydrated, go in with our hero product–AMELIORATE’s Transforming Body Lotion. Your skin will look and feel better despite any dryness– leaving normal skin amazingly soft and smooth whilst protecting its natural moisture barrier. 

Hot Showers:

Hot water strips the skin of natural oils, exacerbating KP. Turn down the heat and instead go in with AMELIORATE's Nourishing Body Wash, a gentle cleanser that can work wonders without high temperatures. 

Stress:

While not directly linked, stress can aggravate KP. Practice self-care and a good night’s sleep with AMELIORATE's Restorative Facial Mask, fortified with Ceramides and Probiotic Technology, to replenish and protect the skin's moisture barrier.
