Introduction: Keratosis Relief Scrub

About: I am yoga teacher, artist and blogger. My posts revolve around living a healthy life with diy products and essential oils.

Keratosis Pilaris is a genetic skin condition. Not harmful, basically super dry skin, lots of red bumps all over. This scrub is gentle enough to make your skin smooth.

Step 2: Whip Coconut Oil

Whip coconut oil for about 10 minutes. It needs to be in the solid form in order to be whipped. You will need to stop the machine a few times to wipe down the sides to make sure it all finds that nice, creamy, lotion-like texture.

Step 3: Baking Soda

Add in the 1/3 cup baking soda. Continue to mix until there is an even texture throughout the scrub.

Step 4: Adding Oils

Scoop mixture into a glass jar (glass is best for essential oils)

Add in the drops of essential oil and Vitamin E oil, and vitamin A oil (I had to puncture the capsules and squeeze the liquid into the jar) – mix up with a wooden stirring stick.

Step 5: To Use

Take a small amount of the mixture and rub onto your skin. I used small circles to gently exfoliate the skin. Do this for a few minutes, then wash off with water and pat dry. Do this every day.

After a few days I began to notice a difference. The bad spots were starting to heal up and my skin was softer. I still have bumps on my skin, but
