The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and its health has a direct impact on how we look and feel. However, many people often face skin problems such as keratosis pilaris and rough skin, which not only affect our aesthetics but may also have a negative impact on our mental health. Let’s explore the causes of these skin problems and discover how to improve them.

Keratosis Pilaris

Keratosis Pilaris is a common skin problem. It usually manifests as red or dark colored pimples on the skin that are rough to the touch and sometimes accompanied by itching or pain. The cause of chicken skin is mainly due to the abnormal metabolism of skin cells, which leads to the opening of hair follicles being blocked by keratin, thus making the surface of the skin unsmooth.

In order to improve it, we can take the following care measures:

Gentle Cleansing: Choose mild cleansing products and avoid products containing irritating ingredients. When cleansing, massage the skin as gently as possible to help remove excess keratin.

Moisturize and Nourish: Use skin care products that contain natural oil ingredients to help moisturize the skin and soften cuticles. It is also important to maintain the skin’s moisture balance.

Supplement with Vitamin A: Studies have shown that Vitamin A is helpful in improving chicken skin. Vitamin A can be consumed through food or supplements.

Avoid Overstimulation: Avoid prolonged exposure to hot or dry environments and reduce friction and scratching of the skin.

Rough Skin

Rough skin is a condition in which the surface of the skin is not smooth enough and may appear dry, flaky, and with a deepened texture. Its causes may be due to a variety of factors such as climate change, environmental stimuli, hormonal changes, and other factors that lead to dry skin or excessive oil secretion.

To improve rough skin, we can take the following care measures:

Regular Exfoliation: Removing dead skin cells and excess keratin can help restore the smoothness of the skin. However, it should be noted that the frequency of exfoliation should not be too high to avoid damaging the skin.

Hydrate and Moisturize: Choose moisturizing products that are suitable for your skin type to keep your skin hydrated. For dry skin, you can use products containing natural oils or glycerin and other ingredients; for oily skin, you can choose refreshing moisturizing products.

Regulate Oil Secretion: For oily or combination skin, you can use oil control products to help regulate oil secretion and reduce clogged pores.

Pay Attention to Diet and Lifestyle Habits: Maintain a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals. Also, getting enough sleep and moderate exercise can help improve the health of your skin.

Sun Protection: UV rays are one of the most important factors leading to rough skin. Therefore, no matter what the weather is like, you should always protect yourself from the sun and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
