Check your skin, ada tiny bumps macam ni tak?

Ni orang panggil kulit ayam or a skin condition named “keratosis pilaris”. Selalu ada kat area lengan, peha, pipi atau pun buttocks.

This thread explain in general why it occurs and ways to treat them.

RT to help more people >.<
Dia tak bahaya pun, just rough textures on our skin tu sometimes unflattering sebab dia timbul2.

Why it occurs?

Kearatosis pilaris ni terjadi daripada keratin build ups. Keratin ialah sejenis protein yang melindungi kulit from infection & bahan2 yang harmful kepada kulit.
Build ups of keratin ni pulak akan menyumbat liang-liang pori and menyebabkan the surface of the skin to appear rough or bumpy. Dia macam - bila you dapat goosebumps, and the hair dekat your arm tu terangkat, surface dia akan appear bumpy kan. Dia macam tu sikit la.
Macam mana nak tahu kita ada keratosis pilaris tak?

- Tiny bumps yang tak sakit usually dekat area lengan, peha pipi or buttocks.
- Kulit yang kering + tiny bumps
- Dia jadi teruk bila cuaca sejuk or aircond sejuk sangat.
- Texture bumps tu macam texture kertas pasir.
So how to treat this?

1. Dermatological treatment.

Usually they will recommend treatment yang melembapkan kulit untuk mengurangkan radang or gatal pada your skin.
2. Self care treatment. 💕

Not all of us have the time to visit dermatologist kan. Self care treatment ni boleh minimize the appearance of the textured skin and reduce gatal-gatal kat kulit.
i. warm shower/bath

Warm shower buatkan pori terbukak(loosen the pore) and unclog them. Tapi jangan mandi lama sangat! Longer body wash boleh buat kulit you kering sebab it strips the body natural oils.😖
ii.Exfoliate!

Exfoliate ni ada dua jenis, physical exfoliation and chemical exfoliation.

Physical exfoliant ni macam scrubs. Function dia untuk remove dull and dead skin cells macam kulit yang berkuping tu.

Chemical exfoliant pulak menggunakan acids or enzymes untuk -
- melarutkan skin cells yang otw nak mati tu. In other words, dia increase cells turn over. Meaning cepat lagi dapat kulit baru!
Contoh physical exfoliants are coffee, sugar while chemical exfoliants pulak usually AHA & BHA.

One of our own local brand, Temyracle banyak produce various physical exfoliants. Boleh usha kat @TemyracleHQ to buy. I recommend buying from their dropship untuk support diaorang 😊
TAPI kalau korang nak 2 in 1 punya exfoliants, yang dapat exfoliate dead skin cell from the surface and jugak dari dalam, Strange Sugar will be releasing Skin Smoothie yang combine both the benefits from physical and chemical exfoliants.

Takyah dah nak beli asing-asing.
Paling best this product ada great ingredients yang increase skin cell turn over, maksud dia apa? kulit baby otw😌.

Haha tapi tak release lagi tho. Tomorrow baru launch. Boleh pre-order start esok kat sini: http://wasap.my/01135981103/SkinSmoothieSS
Price reveal esok but sangat affordable and worth it sebab ingredients kat dalam smoothie ni memang known star ingredients.

Quote this tweet if nak i discuss more on the ingredients benefits and which one you should buy sebab dia ada dua. I taknak syok sendiri nanti haha.
okk sambung balik

iii. Apply hydrating lotion

Or just lotion in general but look for this ingredients: alpha hydroxy acid such (AHAs) as *lactic acid boleh mempercepatkan skin cell turnover. Dia macam bersalin kulit la.

*ni pun ada dalam Strange Sugar Skin Smoothie hihi
iv. Avoid tight clothes

Pakaian ketat boleh promote skin irritation sebab dia bergesel dengan kulit.
v. Use humidifier

Humidifiers ni function dia untuk tambah moisture to the air dlm bilik. Low moisture in air can cause itchy flare ups and dry skin which could lead to keratosis pilaris.

Humidifier banyak kat shopee. Yang ni I jumpa kat shopee. Comel gila.
