Exfoliating KP

Bye Bye Keratosis Pilaris!

Edit Skin exfoliating gloves may help improve the appearance of Keratosis Pilaris (KP) by removing dead skin cells that accumulate and block hair follicles, which is one of the main causes of KP.

KP is a common skin condition that causes small, rough bumps to appear on the skin, usually on the upper arms, thighs, and buttocks. It occurs when there is a buildup of keratin, a protein that makes up the outer layer of skin, around the hair follicles. This buildup can block the opening of the hair follicles, resulting in the characteristic bumps of KP.

Exfoliation can be helpful in improving KP by removing the dead skin cells that block the hair follicles. Edit Skin exfoliating gloves can help with this by physically scrubbing away dead skin cells and promoting better circulation in the affected areas. By removing the dead skin cells and promoting better circulation, the gloves may help to reduce the appearance of KP and improve the texture of the skin.

However, it is important to note that while exfoliation can be helpful for KP, it may not be a permanent solution. The condition may return over time, and other treatments may be necessary to manage KP. Additionally, it is important to use the gloves gently and avoid excessive scrubbing, which could irritate the skin and make KP worse. It is also important to use a gentle, moisturizing lotion after exfoliation to help keep the skin hydrated and prevent further irritation.
