How to improve chicken skin on the back

Chicken skin is a diseased skin condition that is not only unsightly but also harmful to health. Chicken skin can appear anywhere on the body, such as hands, back, etc. So, how can we improve the chicken skin on the back? Is there any good way to relieve the chicken skin on the back? It can be said that very few people know about this issue. Well, let’s take a look at it together.

How to care for chicken skin on the back: "Chicken skin" is natural and cannot be "completely cured", but it can be effectively improved.

① Gentle exfoliation

Because "chicken skin" is related to the thickening of the keratin, gentle exfoliation is necessary, but it must not be excessive. There are many ways to exfoliate. When we take a bath, we can use shower gel containing scrub particles, rub our body vigorously with a bath sponge, bath ball, etc. to achieve the effect of exfoliation. However, if we wash like this every day, the already dry "chicken skin" will become unbearable and become thinner and drier, which in turn will stimulate the "chicken skin" to become worse. Our skin's keratin renewal cycle is 28-45 days, so such intensive exfoliation once every 1-1.5 months is enough.

A relatively gentle way to exfoliate is to use bath salts (table salt can also exfoliate, but the sodium in it will dry out the skin. People with "chicken skin" are better off using Dead Sea bath salts which have moisturizing properties). You can take a bath with bath salts, or you can dissolve the bath salts in hot water first, then mix it with a plant-based shower gel (shower gel with more chemical agents will react chemically with the bath salts), and use it in the shower. When taking a bath with bath salts, you can also add rose and sandalwood essential oils to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. Many people think that taking a bath every day is a good habit, but it is not good for "chicken skin". Shower gel can also remove dead skin cells to a certain extent, but it may also remove too much oil. Therefore, people with "chicken skin" only need to take a bath once every 2 or 3 days in winter, or just take a bath with clean water every day without using shower gel.

②Moisturizing is the most important

More important than exfoliation is moisturizing the skin - exfoliation is just a means. "Chicken skin" is a skin that lacks both water and oil. Ordinary body lotion will not be moisturizing enough for it. Instead, you should use body lotion sold in pharmacies that is specially formulated for extremely dry skin. You should also use moisturizing cleansing products when taking a bath. Another key point is that the water temperature for bathing must be kept at around 40℃. In winter, many people like to use hotter water, thinking that this is more comfortable. But hot water can easily "remove oil" and remove too much oil from the skin; and as soon as the body leaves the hot water, the moisture on the skin's surface will evaporate immediately, taking away the moisture from the skin as well. This is "adding insult to injury" for "chicken skin".

Chicken skin on the back not only affects the appearance, but also poses great potential harm to health. Therefore, in order to solve this major hidden danger, we can alleviate and improve it through exfoliation and moisturizing methods, and the effect is generally good. Of course, if you want to better improve the chicken skin on the back, this requires everyone's persistence, and the results cannot be seen all at once.
