Keratosis Pilaris

Have you noticed patches of tiny lumps that look like
permanent goosebumps across your arms or legs?

You might have a condition known as keratosis pilaris, also known as “chicken skin.” Although these
rough patches can be frustrating to deal with, the good news is that they’re extremely common,
completely harmless, and can be easily managed with the right skincare.

At Bangn Body, our approach to keratosis pilaris focuses on hydration, gentle exfoliation,
and clean, fragrance-free formulas to support a smooth, soft complexion.

What Is Keratosis Pilaris?

Put simply, keratosis pilaris is a buildup of a protein in the body known as keratin that clogs your hair follicles. While keratin helps protect the skin, when it doesn’t shed properly, it forms tiny plugs that create those small, rough bumps you’re experiencing.

Keratosis pilaris, or KP for short, is often mistaken for acne or folliculitis, but it’s a completely different skin condition. KP bumps are usually dry, firm, and fairly uniform. On the other hand, acne or folliculitis are characterised by inflamed or painful lumps that are caused by bacteria. Remember, KP is a texture condition, not an infection.

Most importantly, KP is extremely common, affecting up to 40% of adults. 

How to build a daily routine
for Keratosis Pilaris

Smooth, bump-free skin starts with a simple, consistent routine that supports your barrier and keeps texture in check.

Cleanse Gently

Use a cleanser for dry skin, like our Firming Cream Cleanser to remove impurities without stripping oils.

Exfoliate Softly

A gentle dry skin exfoliator, such as Smooth Skin Scrub, helps smooth texture and remove dry flakes.

Be Consistent

Follow with our Firming Oil, made from 8 super oils to deliver essential nutrients to the skin. Apply everyday, morning and night.

Hydrate and Tone

Follow with a hydrating moisturiser like the Firming Lotion. Apply in circular motions to stimulate circulation and boost absorption.

What Causes Keratosis Pilaris?

KP usually comes down to a combination of internal and external factors, rather than a single issue, with the most common keratosis pilaris causes including:

Genetics as KP often runs in families. If your parents or siblings have it, you’re more likely to experience it too.

Dry or under hydrated skin prevents keratin from shedding efficiently, causing it to build up inside the hair follicles.

Lack of gentle exfoliation, meaning dead skin cells linger on the surface, increasing follicle congestion and rough texture.

At Bangn Body, we believe in balanced hydration and exfoliation to support a healthy skin barrier and boost your confidence

Common Symptoms and How to Recognise KP

Once you know the signs, it can be pretty easy to spot keratosis pilaris symptoms and their different appearances on the body. Keratosis pilaris, with white bumps on the arms tend to be paler and cluster along the outer upper arm. It may appear fine from a distance, but look uneven up close.

On the legs, you may get keratosis pilaris small bumps that appear red and speckled. It’s often called strawberry skin as the hair follicles are more visible, resembling the porous, red surface of a strawberry.

These common KP symptoms are often accompanied by dry skin. While they can feel stubborn to treat, with regular hydration and gentle exfoliation, your skin should start to smooth and soften over time.

Amazing for Scars & Smooth Skin!

I’ve been using the Firming Lotion and Smooth Skin Scrub together for a few weeks, and the results have been incredible! I had some stubborn scars on my legs, and after consistently exfoliating with the scrub and following up with the lotion, I’ve noticed such a difference. My skin feels softer, firmer, and more even-toned, and the scars have visibly faded. Plus, both products smell amazing and leave my skin feeling deeply hydrated. Highly recommend if you're looking to smooth and renew your skin!

The Best Treatments for Keratosis Pilaris

If you’re suffering from rough, dry patches of skin and stubborn spots, it’s only natural to wonder how to get rid of keratosis pilaris. Focus on creating a consistent keratosis pilaris treatment routine that supports healthy skin function, rather than forcing results.

  • STEP 1: Cleanse without stripping the skin +

    Cleansing is important for managing KP, especially for areas prone to sweat and friction. Using a non-stripping cleanser, such as Firming Cream Cleanser, helps clear that surface buildup while keeping your skin barrier intact, which is essential for reducing dry skin.

  • STEP 2: Exfoliate to reduce rough texture +

    As you know, keratosis pilaris is caused by a buildup of keratin inside the hair follicles, leading to that tell-tale bumpy surface. Gentle exfoliation helps loosen that buildup so your skin can shed more evenly. Bangn Body’s Smooth Skin Scrub can be used two to three times a week to smooth the skin's texture without irritating or drying it.

  • Step 3: Hydration and barrier support +

    Moisturising is key to your keratosis pilaris self-care, as hydrated skin is more efficient at renewing itself. Our Firming Lotion provides deep nourishment after exfoliation, helping soften texture and support your skin barrier repair, so those bumps become less noticeable over time. For those who prefer the magic of natural oils to hydrate their skin, our Firming Oil also supports the skin barrier while deeply hydrating and softening the skin.

Real Skin, Real Results

Hundreds of Bangn Body customers have seen smoother, more comfortable skin by swapping harsh treatments for clean, cruelty-free hydrating, cleansing, and exfoliating products.

with gentle, natural skincare.
