Bye-Bye, Chicken Skin

Keratosis pilaris sounds like a dreamy resort in Switzerland. Really, it's the medical name for a skin condition that causes little white bumps to form on the backs of your arms, thighs and booty--you probably know it as "chicken skin." (The inflammation can flare when our hormones shift so it may appear during perimenopause.) KP is not acne; those bumps are actually hair follicles plugged with keratin or dead skin cells. After testing eight exfoliants and moisturizers that contain lactic acid, KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub ($27) wins for minimizing the bumps and dryness. Expect quick results too.
