What to do if the skin on my neck looks like chicken skin

Chicken skin is a very common skin problem, which is related to people's skin type and physique. The neck is often exposed, so chicken skin in the neck area is very unsightly. This is very troubling for many people who love beauty. Haste makes waste in the treatment of chicken skin, and the treatment process is relatively slow. So what should you do if the skin on your neck looks like chicken skin?

1. Reasons

The skin on the neck is like chicken skin. For people with this kind of physique, the keratin around the hair follicles will thicken, causing the hair follicles to be blocked by the thick keratin, forming small bumps. In fact, it is just caused by extreme dryness. "Chicken skin" is also related to vitamin A deficiency. You can take vitamin AD pills appropriately. For treatment, you can choose exfoliating ointments, such as A acid, fruit acid, salicylic acid and urea, etc. You can also use exfoliating bath products, such as scrubs, exfoliating brushes, loofahs, etc. But excessive friction will not only hurt the skin, but also make the stratum corneum thicker. Therefore, exfoliation once or twice a month is enough.

2. 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., which can achieve the effect of exfoliation. However, washing like this every day will make the already dry "chicken skin" unbearable, and become thinner and drier, which in turn will irritate the "chicken skin" to become worse. Our skin's keratin renewal cycle is 28-45 days, so such intense exfoliation once every 1-1.5 months is enough.

3. Bath salt bath

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.
