Body Wash
I always opt for a body wash with BHA/AHA’s to provide a gentle exfoliation
I tried a sample of this and really liked it. It has a bit of a foam to it and the granules are so gentle on the skin but also exfoliating just enough. I think this would be a great product for KP!
Lactic Acid Foaming Body Polish and Wash - CYKLAR | Sephora
Glycolic acid is great because it helps breakdown the dead skin cells/keratin buildup.
Naturium The Smoother Glycolic Acid Body Wash, 16.9 FL OZ
Removes dead skin buildup and prevents body breakouts
Triple Acid Body Wash - frank body | Ulta Beauty
Body wash with salicylic acid, unclogs the pores which helps smooth out the texture
CeraVe SA Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash, 10 OZ
Body wash with AHA complex for a gentle exfoliation
Olay Premium Bump Erasing Exfoliating Body Wash with AHA Serum Complex - 20 fl oz
Body Toners & Peels (physical exfoliation)
I prefer liquid exfoliants over a physical scrub because it’s more gentle on my sensitive skin but for my legs and underarms I do like a solid scrub
Feels like a lightweight serum that absorbs into the body really nice, this was one of the few products that I went back for.
Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA - Paula's Choice | Sephora
Another great option for AHA’s. Especially for Arms. Only use 2-3x depending on skin tolerance.
Prequel Multi-Acid Milk Peel - 7.6 fl oz
Affordable and effective, I personally would only use this on the body not so much the face especially if you’re sensitive. Glycolic acid really helps to break down the built up keratin (which is what causes those bumps)
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
Body serum with retinol and lactic acid, similar to a peel for the body.
Slather Body Serum - Topicals | Sephora
Body Scrubs (manual exfoliation)
If you prefer more of a grit, then you might want to go with a physical exfoliator.
If you’re looking for more of a scrub/manual exfoliation then this is a good one to get the dead skin off.
Resurface+ Glycolic and Lactic Acid Renewing Body Scrub - Skinfix | Sephora
I’ve heard great things about this exfoliating bar, not too aggressive but smooths the skin out and is also fragrance free.
Nood Daily Exfoliating Buff Bar - 4oz
Combine this with a good body lotion and you will have smooth baby skin
Black Exfoliating Glove
Physical scrub with both glycolic and salicylic acid
Naturium KP Body Scrub & Mask - 8 oz
Body lotion that has 5% lactic acid and 0.1% retinol so it gently exfoliates but also keeps the skin moisturized
REMEDY for body bumps
Body scrub with AHA’s
FIRST AID BEAUTY KP Bump Eraser Exfoliating Body Scrub: Travel-Size, Unscented, Tube Packaging, Legs & Whole Body
Body Lotion
Keeping your skin moisturized is super important to keep the skin smooth
Another great option for unscented body lotion, I absolutely love this one. It’s not greasy and it keeps my skin nice and soft. No actives, just super nourishing.
Naturium Bio-Lipid Restoring Unscented Body Lotion - 14 fl oz
Can be used for body. Keeping the skin balanced and hydrated is key. Works great with the prequel peel!
Prequel Urea Moisturizer - 13.5 fl oz
AHA’s are gonna be your bff to help with the texture/bumps. Keeping the skin moisturized is so important.
