What gets rid of keratosis pilaris?

Did you know that as many as one in every three people has this common skin condition? It is often inherited and causes many small 1-2 millimeter bumps, or horny plugs that can be seen blocking a persons hair follicles. It is commonly found on backs of the upper arms and on the fronts of the thighs. Sometimes keratosis pilaris also affects the torso, back, buttocks and, in less common forms, the face and eyebrows as well. Some redness may appear around the small spiky bumps. If a plug is pulled off, a fine coiled-up hair may be found inside it.  It is usually in found in children and adolesents and clears towards adulthood. You have probably seen this condition before as it is so common. 


One of my girlfriends recently purchased a bottle of skincerity from me and after loving it on her own face decided to roll her 5 year olds arms which were covered with KP. He had had this condition since he was two years old. She awoke the next morning with her little guy whispering in her ear "mommy, my bumps are gone!" with her eyes barely open she said "what honey?" "Mommy!!! my bumps are gone!!" this time he said louder, "feel my arms", she rubbed her hands on his upper arms and could not believe what she was feeling, his skin was soft and smooth and yes the bumps were gone. After years of creams, dermatologists, and various home remedies, in one night of rolling skincerity the keratosis pilaris was gone. She called me right away, sign me up I am convinced this stuff works and even better my son no longer has to be embarrassed by his skin!
