Unlocking Smoother Looking Skin: Lume's Guide to Managing KP

Unlocking Smoother Looking Skin: Lume's Guide to Managing KP

by Sarah Thomas

“I am so happy with how the body cream got rid of the KP on my legs and arms in just a few applications!” Emily

Fact: 40% of adults have KP, or keratosis pilaris.

Also Fact: Lume Acidified Body Cream is clinically proven to improve KP.

Keratosis pilaris (KP), often referred to as "chicken skin," is a common skin condition that causes tiny, rough bumps on upper arms, thighs, face, and butt cheeks. Even though KP isn't harmful, it can be frustrating when you're trying to achieve smooth, soft skin.

What Causes Keratosis Pilaris?

Keratin is a protein that helps form hair, nails, and the outer layer of our skin. It also supports skin, heals wounds, and keeps nails and hair healthy.

But sometimes, the hard keratin builds up and blocks the opening of hair follicles, creating a plug. This creates a rough, bumpy texture and can sometimes lead to redness and irritation.

What Triggers KP?

Dry Skin

If your skin is dry, your KP symptoms are likely to be more noticeable and bothersome. Many people experience worse KP in the winter months when the air is especially dry.

Genetics

Do your siblings have KP? This build up of keratin often runs in families. If you have a family member with KP, you are more likely to develop it yourself.

Age

Good news for those who are aging. KP usually improves as you age and may not be a problem for those over 30.

Certain Skin Conditions

If you have a condition like eczema or ichthyosis vulgaris, dry skin can make your KP bumps worse. Dryness makes it easier for the plugs that cause KP to form.

We don’t yet know how to completely prevent or “cure” KP, but you can take some steps to minimize appearance with a regular keratosis pilaris skincare routine.

Enter Lume Acidified Body Cream

“My skin is super soft, which is nice. But most impressively, it cured the chicken skin on my arms in DAYS, with a noticeable difference in just one day. Thank you!” Sarah

Lume Acidified Body Cream is clinically proven to improve the appearance of KP. Here's why:

Mandelic Acid

Lume Acidified Body Cream contains Mandelic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the skin. This keratosis pilaris exfoliation helps to remove the buildup of dead skin cells that contribute to KP, revealing skin that looks smoother and feels softer.

Hydration

Lume Acidified Body Cream is deeply hydrating, helping to soothe and nourish the skin. This is crucial for KP sufferers, as dry skin can worsen the appearance of bumps.

Clinically Proven Results

Lume Acidified Body Cream is clinically proven to smooth the appearance of rough and bumpy skin. In clinical testing, 100% of participants showed significant improvement in their KP after using our Acidified Body Cream for just 30 days. It really is the best lotion for keratosis pilaris.

Lume Acidified Body Cream is also clinically proven to:

  • Double skin's hydration after just one use
  • Triple skin's hydration after 2 weeks of daily use
  • Gently exfoliate
  • Improve skin brightness after just 2 applications
  • Bonus: Controls odor for 24 hours
“It worked for my KP! I didn’t even buy it for that reason and was shocked when I noticed how smooth my arms are.” Caroline

How to Use Lume To Improve KP:

Cleanse: Get clean, remove odor, and control odor for 24 hours with our Acidified Body Wash or Cleansing Bar.

Exfoliate: Use a loofah or a rough washcloth to gently exfoliate areas affected by KP. It’s important to be gentle and avoid scrubbing, which can actually aggravate keratosis pilaris.

Hydrate: Dry off really well if you have showered, and massage Lume Acidified Body Cream into the affected rough and bumpy areas.

Be patient: It may take several weeks of consistent use to see significant improvement.

“At last! Lume is smoothing out my KP! I have KP, razor-like skin on the backs of my upper arms, thighs, my neck, and inner thighs. It’s been awful! LUME? It's a Godsend. I use the bar and follow with Acidified Body Cream. The combination has changed my skin in just a month.” Annie
