FAQs
What is Keratosis Pilaris (KP)?
Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is a common, harmless skin condition that causes small, rough bumps on the skin, often on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. These bumps are typically flesh-colored or red and are caused by a buildup of keratin, a protein that protects skin from harmful substances.
How often should I use the KP Smoothing Body Scrub?
It is recommended to use the scrub 1-2 times per week. You can adjust the frequency based on your skin's tolerance and needs, but do not exceed this without observing your skin's reaction carefully.
Can I use this scrub on my face?
No, this product is specifically formulated for body use and is not intended for facial use. The concentration of exfoliants and the physical pumice beads may be too harsh for the delicate skin on your face.
Why do I need to use sunscreen when using this product?
This scrub contains Glycolic and Lactic Acids, which are Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). AHAs can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun, making it more susceptible to sunburn. Therefore, it's crucial to use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure during and for a week after using the product.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the product is allergy-tested and safe for sensitive skin. However, if you have very sensitive skin, a patch test on a small area of your body before full application is recommended to ensure no adverse reaction occurs.
How long will it take to see results?
Many users report noticeable improvements in skin smoothness and a reduction in dry, flaky skin after a few uses. For optimal results and significant reduction of KP bumps, consistent use over several weeks is generally recommended.
Troubleshooting
Skin irritation or redness occurs after use.
Discontinue use immediately. Ensure you are not using it too frequently or scrubbing too aggressively. If irritation persists, consult a physician. Remember to perform a patch test if you have sensitive skin before full application.
No noticeable improvement in skin texture or KP.
Ensure consistent use (1-2 times per week). Verify you are massaging the product thoroughly onto affected areas. Also, confirm you are not diluting the product too much with excessive water on the skin. Allow several weeks for visible results, as skin renewal takes time.
Increased sun sensitivity or sunburn.
This is a known side effect due to AHAs. Strictly adhere to sun protection guidelines: use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, wear protective clothing, and limit direct sun exposure while using this product and for a week after discontinuing use. If sunburn is severe, seek medical attention.
Product accidentally gets into eyes.
Rinse eyes thoroughly and immediately with plenty of clean water for several minutes. If irritation or discomfort persists, seek medical advice.
