Do any of you get lots of little red lumps on your upper arms and shoulders? Thought so. This is all too common, (in both men and women!) and whilst no one seems to actually be able to explain what they are, why they appear and how to get rid of them, even fewer people know how to successfully clear them. We've asked Jasmine, our resident skincare expert for some advice on how to banish those unsightly lumps and bumps, just in time for Summer!
"The technical name for this troublesome skin condition is keratosis pilaris. Hundreds of hard, clogged pores cover a person’s shoulders, upper arms, buttocks and upper thighs. It can sometimes seem to be a persistent case of acne, but these bumps rarely become inflamed and rarely become a pimple. Gentle cleansing, exfoliating and disinfecting will help to reduce a huge amount of these bumps. A great product for this is MD Skincare's Alpha Beta Daily Body Peel. This has been specially formulated to reduce the frequency and severity of breakouts on acne-prone/ congested areas, such as shoulders, chest and back. It will help to even out skin tone and will remove skin-dulling dead surface cells. You should apply daily, morning or evening, to clean dry body skin, following the two step package instructions.
Finish up moisturising skin with MD Skincare Firming Body Lotion - great for problematic skin as it won’t irritate whilst hydrating and toning the body.
Lastly and for a more targeted approach, pop along to your local salon for a scrub. It will leave the skin on your back fresh and will really help clear up any lingering blemishes."
We hope this helps... get in touch, let us know what works for you and how you're getting on with MD Skincare's targeted treatments. We'd love to hear from you.
