This Is My Favorite Product For Bumpy Skin
If there's one skin-related problem I've lamented the most throughout my life, it's my chronic keratosis pilaris (better known as KP). KP is a common condition caused by an over-production of keratin, resulting in rough, dry skin covered in bumps that are often red or pigmented, depending on skin tone. For the past few years, I've exalted the well-known KP Bump Eraser body scrub by First Aid Beauty as one of the main and most effective products in my KP arsenal. Very recently, however, I had the opportunity to try a different body scrub that's a little more affordable and has a slightly different formula to help keep my KP at bay.
The Dermadoctor KP Duty scrub, a humble gem hidden at Amazon, fights KP with the help of both physical and chemical exfoliation.
Another major difference between the KP Duty Scrub and the First Aid Beauty Bump Eraser is texture.
I also discovered a trick to getting the most exfoliating action out of Dermadoctor's scrub.
In the past, I've always just applied scrubs to wet skin in the shower, but I find Dermadoctor's KP Scrub best to use on barely damp skin, applied only with my hands rather than an exfoliating mitt or washcloth. Otherwise, the product dissolves a bit too quickly for me to really massage it over my entire body.
Similar to some Amazon reviewers who have found KP salvation in this scrub, I think this is an especially great option for tackling cracked and callused heels, eliminating shaving bumps and preventing ingrown hairs.
Check out more convincing reviews below or head to Dermdoctor's official Amazon page to grab a scrub for yourself (or the brand's moisturizing body lotion which I also tried and do highly recommend).
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (also available in a two-pack, body peel pads, a body scrub version, and in bundles).
