8) Olive oil

Applied directly to fight dryness or mixed with lukewarm water and sugar to make a scrub, olive oil can make a huge difference to the appearance and feel of your skin.

9) Coconut oil

Mixed with sugar or apple cider vinegar, coconut oil will hydrate your skin and reduce inflammation and redness.

10) Apple cider vinegar

Highly anti-inflammatory, the use of this type of vinegar can improve the appearance of your skin. To get the most out of it, you can apply it directly with a cotton ball. You can also put two dessertspoons into your bath.

11) Beta carotene 

Eating carrots daily (as a juice, in a salad, etc.) will help your body get enough beta carotene to combat the production of excess keratin.

12) Witch hazel

You can apply it directly to the skin or mix it with your moisturiser to treat your skin.

13) Euphorbia stem

Remove the sap and apply it twice a day to the affected area.

14) Tea tree oil

Massage this oil to the keratosis pilaris or mix it with your usual body lotion, to make the problem disappear. Be careful to avoid sun exposure when you are using this treatment!

15) Go for natural hydration methods

Skin hydration is the key when combating this skin problem. So arm yourself with oils and body butters like cocoa butter to take care of your skin. Commercial products often contain silicone (dimethicone) which gives the impression that the skin is well nourished, but this is nothing but camouflage, without mention of the other chemicals that these products contain. Therefore, for natural and healthy skin, go for natural and healthy products!
