How Keratosis Pilaris is Gently and Naturally Eliminated!
Keratosis pilaris, or otherwise known as KP, is a genetic follicular disease that is very common and is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin and therefore known as "chicken skin." Primarily, it appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms, but can also occur on thighs and buttocks or any body part except glabrous skin (like the palms or soles of feet).
It is believed that KP affects an estimated 40 to 50% of the adult population and approximately 50 to 80% of all teenagers. Women suffer a higher rate of KP contraction than men do. Varying in degree, cases of KP can range from moderate to severe. Moderate KP bumps are scattered and include very little irritation. Severe includes large areas that include no smooth skin at all. The majority of the severe cases include bumps that are very irritating and sensitive.
Teenagers will typically contract KP on the upper section of the arms. On babies it is mostly shows up on the cheeks and neck. Keratosis pilaris is unsightly but completely harmless. It is usually worse during the winter months or other times of low humidity when skin dries out, and may worsen during pregnancy or after childbirth. The condition is exacerbated here with a greater pronunciation in color and texture.
When the natural protein in the skin keratin is overproduced, it accumulates around the hair follicles. This process is called hyperkeratinization. Bearing only cosmetic consequence, the condition most often appears as a proliferation of tiny hard bumps that are seldom sore or itchy.
The skin loses its ability to regenerate itself when these dead skin cells block up the hair follicle. This blockage then leads to the bump formation. Treatment requires that the dead cells shed off to open room for fresh and healthy cells to take their place. What is necessary is a skin care treatment that will unplog the blocked follicles in order for the skin to resume its natural regeneration process.
The BIOCUTIS skin care line includes only natural skin products that contain snail serum as their biological compound that serves to treat a wide variety of skin ailments, including keratosis pilaris. As a snail travels on nude skin, exposing itself to the sun and incurring injuries from Earth's elements, it is constantly emitting this skin serum to maintain its health and survival. The published scientific study from October, 2007 in Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, "Molecular Basis for the Regenerative Properties of a Secretion of the Mollusk Cryptomphalus Aspersa," established what were the biological activators in this serum that provided such effective skin benefits. Because human skin is made of the same components that make up snail skin, its skin regenerating properties are effective for us too! This biological compound "digests" the keratin plugs in order for fresh skin cells to re-enter the follicle. It dissolves the abnormal tissues that KP leaves behind, releasing their amino acids for the rebuilding of healthy tissues.
