When I was a kid, I didn’t know that the pimples on my legs were chicken skin. I always felt that the pimples on my legs were ugly. So I squeezed it like crazy, and ended up with scars on my legs, which was very scary. Fortunately, the editor does not have a scarred constitution, otherwise I would regret it to death now.
But the editor has to be honest. Although it may make the majority of people who are troubled by chicken skin very disappointed, the reality always has to be faced.
We are concerned about chicken skin to the greatest extent. You can only achieve continuous improvement, but if you don't take care of it for a period of time, it will still grow back. Don't be discouraged, improvement is a good thing, even if it only lasts for one summer, that's enough!
First of all, let’s get to know the criminal “Chicken Skin”.
The scientific name of chicken skin is keratosis pilaris. The reason is that the growth opening of hair follicles is blocked by excessively thick cutin, and the hair cannot be exposed normally, causing bulges in the form of acne on the skin.
As an editor who has squeezed open acne, I was lucky enough to see that the clogging material inside is our hair follicles. Once the acne is popped, the hair follicles are squeezed out, leaving a deep pit-shaped wound on the skin.
Through the formation principle of chicken skin, we can know that if we want to improve this problem, we should treat it from the source, which is excessively thick cuticle. And chicken skin is often accompanied by dryness and cracking, so what we need to do is body exfoliation and deep moisturizing.
1. Body exfoliation
You can use exfoliating tools or nursing scrub products for body exfoliation. The editor suggests that the two can be used together, which will be more convenient.
Body brush
This kind of body brush can easily reach the back that we can't reach. Don't choose hair that is too rough, just fluffy and soft hair. Massage the skin with shower gel or scrub. It is very easy to use and can also help the skin fully absorb the product nutrients.
Bath towels
Bath towels are quite hardcore and are known to have super exfoliating abilities. But when cleaning with this product, don’t use scrub. To avoid excessive friction on the skin, causing damage.
Oh! Baby Scrub
This scrub is also a long-standing product that has been best-selling for many years. It has simple effects. There is nothing superfluous, just simple exfoliation and cleansing.
It has a very thick cream-like texture, and the particulate ingredients contained in it will melt when it comes into contact with the skin, and there is no obvious friction when used. Take a little bit at a time and massage the skin with normal strength.
