My chicken skin/KP progress 🥹

Skin Type: Dry

Age/Gender: 23, Female

Current Skincare Routine:

After taking a bath:

- Dove Sensitive Soap

- Urea lotion (yung may salicylic acid - I can recommend if u want)

Main Concerns:

  1. Chicken skin/keratosis pilaris, especially on my arms and legs
  2. Rough and bumpy skin texture
  3. Improving the overall texture and appearance of my skin

Budget:

Not looking for product recommendations based on budget. I’m mainly sharing my experience and what I’ve learned during my KP journey.

Additional Info:

I’ve had chicken skin/keratosis pilaris for years and used to think I just had to live with it. I’ve tried different things before, but I wasn’t always consistent.

Recently, I started learning more about KP and decided to focus on a simple routine and consistency rather than constantly switching products.

After taking a bath, I use Dove body wash and apply a urea body lotion while my skin is still slightly damp. It is also recommended by my derma kasi need talaga urea for this.

I’ve been doing this consistently and have noticed that my skin feels smoother and the bumps appear less noticeable compared to before. It’s definitely not completely gone, but seeing the difference in my progress photos made me realize how much consistency can matter.

I’m sharing this mainly to document my journey and hopefully help anyone else who might be dealing with chicken skin/KP too. I’m not saying this routine will work for everyone, but this is what I’ve personally noticed so far.
