Getting the skin of the body completely smooth, supple and hydrated is not always an easy task. In some cases, there are areas of the body that show roughness and other imperfections. If you have discovered this aspect in areas such as the arms, thighs or buttocks, it is certainly one of the most common skin conditions that you may not have given a specific name to: “Keratosis Pilaris, commonly known as skin of gallina, is a common genetic follicular skin condition in which pimples or rough bumps appear on the tissue. They usually appear on the back of the arms and legs, and also on the chest and buttocks,” says Estefanía Nieto, technical director of the company Omorovicza. This skin condition is often confused and treated as if it were an acne breakout, but the reality is that it needs to be treated in a different way as the causes of its appearance are quite different in nature.
This skin condition can occur at any time in life, but it is most common during the teenage years and in women after childbirth. But what is this skin condition due to? Elisabeth de San Gregorio, technical director of the company Medik8 explains: “It is produced by an excess of a protein known as keratin, that is, an accumulation of dead cells on the hair follicles, which gives rise to the formation of small pimples or bumps on the hair, skin In some cases, when the accumulation is high, these pimples become excessively irritated, giving the skin a very reddish tint.
His treatment usually focuses on two steps: exfoliation of the body, to remove this buildup of dead cells and improve cell renewal; and deep hydration of the entire tissue. For starters, here are some perfect body scrubs to adequately treat the affected areas and show off much softer, more flexible and hydrated skin this summer without these pimples.
