Keratosis Pilaris Remedy

In a 6 ounce dark glass dropper bottle, add essential oil followed by carrier oils. Secure lid, gently shake and allow to synergize in a cool, dark area for 72 hours prior to use.

To use:
1. NANOSteam your face gently for 5-8 minutes - to open the clogged pores and allow the keratin to release.
2.If you have affected areas on other parts of your body, steam those areas as you can as well.
3. Gently pat dry and then rinse with cold water - do not pat dry, allow to air dry ONLY until you have slightly damp skin.
4. Apply 1-2 drops on the affected area and spot treat only the area. Do not apply any other skincare over this treatment. Avoid your eye area & sleep on your back with your face up, not pressing your face on the pillow. A satin pillowcase is optimal when dealing with KP.

Lastly, be very careful if you do not get the oils from a recommended Beauty By Carisa source. Using oils that have not gone thru adequate testing and are not of clinical grade risk the condition worsening. Always shop with a Beauty By Carisa approved oil source.

Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is an extremely common skin condition that shows up as little bumps on the upper arms and thighs; commonly referred to as 'chicken skin'. While the bumps usually don’t hurt or itch, it is not yet known what causes this condition, but there are many different remedies for this disorder. One very effective remedy is shared below.

Tamanu Oil: a carrier oil. The linoleic acid found in Tamanu Oil is astringent and toning, making it a perfect choice for both acne-prone, combination skin and mature skin alike. Tamanu Oil has a comedogenic rating of 2, meaning it is very unlikely to clog pores. With keratosis pilaris your pores are currently clogged with keratin.

Rosehip Seed Oil: a carrier oil. It will help to reduce redness and heal inflammation. Dermatologists often recommend using rosehip seed oil for skin conditions such as eczema or acne. It contains many essential minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants as well as essential fatty acids, which will help to moisturize and hydrate your skin.

Lavender Essential Oil - one of the best essential oils for keratosis pilaris. It contains antibacterial, anti-fungal, and soothing properties that make it great for targeting the inflammation of this condition.

Chamomile Essential Oil - Deeply soothing, chamomile can work to calm irritated skin from keratosis pilaris. Chamomile contains bisabolol which is a potent anti-irritant. On reactive skin, like with KP, it lowers the allergic reactivity. Chamomile EO contains flavonoids and polyphenols which increase blood flow to the skin, creating a healing environment for the affected area.

Thyme Essential Oil contains thymol, which has strong antibacterial properties that help prevent KP from spreading and forming new lesions on your skin.
