‘I’m completely obsessed with this exfoliating skin treatment – and it’s only £15’

I’ve always struggled with rough, bumpy skin, otherwise known as keratosis pilaris or ‘chicken skin’, on my upper arms. A surprisingly common condition, with an estimated 40% of adults experiencing it, KP looks just like a rash and causes small, red, or brown raised bumps to form in areas like the arms, thighs, and bum cheeks.

According to dermatologist, Dr Derrick Philips, ‘Keratosis Pilaris is caused by a buildup of scale inside the hair follicle.’ This scale blocks the follicle resulting in a raised bump. The skin condition often approves during the summer but worsens over winter months, which is certainly the case for my KP.

After trying numerous unsuccessful treatments including exfoliating mitts, moisturisers, and even oral medications, I decided to browse TikTok to see what other sufferers were trying. Enter The Inkey List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick. Formulated with 7% glycolic acid, salicylic acid and shea butter, this skin treatment is brilliant for expert exfoliation with minimal irritation. Suitable for use on dry textured skin, keratosis pilaris and ingrown hairs, it improves and speeds up skin cell turnover and leaves skin soft and smooth.
Thousands have gone online to express their love for the skin treatment and given it rave reviews so, I decided to follow suit. What took me by surprise was how much I actually enjoyed applying the treatment and its fast impact on my textured arms. As it’s a stick, rather than a lotion, it’s incredibly quick and easy to apply and avoids getting your hands sticky. Simply rub it on the area you’re treating, and you’re done.
