KP Chicken Skin: Crossing the Road to Skin Correction

Let’s talk about making chicken skin beautiful again. And before you think we’re about to drop our new LIRA Barnyard Line (we looked into it, there’s not much demand), we’re not talking poultry. 

We’re talking about Keratosis Pilaris, otherwise known as “chicken skin”, and for those that have experienced it, you know exactly why.

What is KP?

Keratosis Pilaris is a common skin condition caused by keratin (the protein that makes up your hair, skin, and nails) clogging up hair follicles. The blockages result in tiny, rough bumps in the skin that appear and feel like permanent goosebumps or, hence the common nickname, chicken skin. 

It most commonly occurs behind the upper arms but can also appear on the forearms, thighs, lower legs, buttocks and cheeks. The bumps can vary in color from red, white, brown, black, or just the natural color of your skin.

There typically isn’t any discomfort or pain associated with KP, however it can often be associated with dry, itchy skin. This only gets worse as the seasons begin to change and low humidity starts to sap your skin dry.

Now that we know what KP is, that leads us to the question at hand: what to cock-a-doodle do about it? (slam dunk)

Body Peel. Body Appeal.

While not incredibly concerning or dangerous, KP can be annoying, frustrating, and unsightly when it makes an unwelcome appearance. Luckily, it’s simple to treat and we’ve cooked up the perfect treatment using the Lira Clinical BODY Line.

STEP 1: Exfoliate It

Start your routine using the Lira Clinical BODY Smoothing Scrub about 2-3 times a week. This powerful exfoliator will simultaneously help to massage open those clogged pores while moisturizing and brightening skin.

STEP 2: Cleanse It

After using your BODY Smoothing Scrub, move right onto the BODY Brightening Cleanser. This will continue to gently exfoliate those clogs while soothing, brightening, and strengthening your skin with 15% lactic acid and powerful plant stem cells. 

STEP 3: Refine It

Once the affected area has been smoothed and brightened, it’s time to move on to the brand new BODY Corrective Pads (Coming Soon). These rejuvenating pads combine the power of peptides, topical probiotics, and multiple hydroxy acids making for the perfect at home peel for target areas. Paired with the exfoliation and moisturizing effects of steps 1 and 2, these pads will work wonders to help manage and put your KP out to pasture.  

STEP 4: Pamper It

Finally, after your skin has been fully treated and the treatment process has begun, finish off the routine with the luxurious BODY Silk Soufflé. The clinically-proven lipid-soluble vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate), hyaluronic acid, and silk proteins will restore skin’s hydration while encouraging healthy collagen production and protecting against HEV/blue light environmental damage.
