My skin is so smooth it gleams. After a fresh hair removal session and exfoliation, my skin is soft but my skin truly gleams after I’ve applied my butter and oils. I’m talking about the kind of gleam and clarity to make you see your own reflection. It’s beautiful. A body scrub with chemical and physical exfoliators that sweep away dry, rough bumps to reveal healthier looking skin that feels exceptionally smooth.

It’s a gentle product. Despite using a high percentage of exfoliating acids I had no adverse reaction or tingling while using the product.

The First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA delivers the benefits of a chemical peel and micro-dermabrasion treatment in one. Glycolic and Lactic Acids at a combined level of 10% help loosen skin’s top layer and decongest pores with Pumice Buffing Beads that whisks it all away. Chicago-based board-certified dermatologist Caroline Robinson, MD, is also a fan of the Exfoliating Body Wash, in particular. Its "8.8 free acid value of glycolic acid is mild enough for sensitive skin but effective enough for dry, rough, bumpy, or flaky skin on the body," she says of the body polish, which can be used to treat dry or scaly feet and legs — as well as the rest of the body. In addition to recommending this wash for KP, Dr. Robinson says the brightening formula also helps reduce hyperpigmentation, too. Not only does it improve skin texture but another impressive fact is how long the effects of an exfoliation session lasts. My skin remains smooth for almost the whole 7 days until it’s time to exfoliate again. 4.

About

To summarize based on my own experience, the KP bump eraser is an effective body scrub for dry skin types troubled with strawberry legs/KP. Not only does it smooth the skin but it gradually fades the dark spots. Consistent use will change your dry, rough legs to buttery, smooth legs you won’t think twice to show off. It leaves the skin incredibly soft. After my first use, my skin was notably softer, buttery smooth even. It felt like I had finally done my shower routine right. Every use since the first time has given me this same buttery smooth result. It was only after having this same experience over and over that I realized just how rough and bumpy KP made my skin feel before. First Aid Beauty is a PETA certified cruelty-free brand; they do not test any of their products on animals. For moisture, I pair my Vaseline lotion with rosehip seed oil on busy days outside the house. If I’m spending the day at home I’ll use shea butter and rosehip seed oil on my damp skin. According to Cedars Sinai, “Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common long-term (chronic) skin condition. It causes small, scaly bumps on the skin where there are hair follicles. The bumps are extra keratin.”

The ingredients offer both physical and chemical exfoliation. First Aid Beauty KP Bump eraser’s first ingredient is pumice. These tiny pumice beads are amazing at smoothing rough skin. Whoever thought of that is pure genius! The pumice beads are the physical exfoliants that manually sloughs off the top layer of skin to reveal fresher, smoother skin. Before this year I had no idea what keratosis pilaris (KP) was. But after a little research into the skin changes I was experiencing I found that the dark spots I’d recently developed on my legs were KP. The colloquial name for these spots is strawberry legs. Though the name strawberry legs is limited to those only affected by KP on the legs, KP can be found on other parts of the body. What is Keratosis Pilaris/ KP? Upon learning what KP was, my next question was “how can I get rid of it?’ And that’s why you’re reading this post now. Strawberry legs are not the most attractive thing to look and moreover, they certainly don’t feel great either. Research states that KP tends to improve with age but I don’t want to wait and neither do you. How do I treat KP? A few weeks ago I introduced you all to the First Aid Beauty KP bump eraser as a new product I was trying out. I’ve been having a great time with the product so far.

Get to Know Keratosis Pilaris I actually hadn’t intended to use this one for my KP—I had a group of retinol oils(which are way more gentle and soothing than usual retinol treatments) sitting in my cabinet after testing them for a story, and, on a whim, started slathering them on my arms. If retinol is good for your wrinkles, dark spots, acne, and literally every other skin issue, it’s gotta be good for your keratosis pilaris, right? And, as it turns out, it was.
