THE JUSTBLiSS CHICKEN SKIN RITUAL GUIDE
Smooth, Soften & Restore
Keratosis pilaris — commonly known as “chicken skin” — causes small, rough bumps on the upper arms, thighs, and buttocks due to a build-up of keratin in the hair follicles. Unlike shaving bumps or ingrown hairs (which are caused by hair removal), chicken skin is a chronic genetic condition that requires consistent, long-term care — not a once-off fix. The good news? With the right ritual of gentle exfoliation and deep daily hydration, skin becomes noticeably softer and smoother over time.
✨ Step 1: Gentle Daily Cleanse
Products: Any of the JUSTBLiSS Artisan Soap Bars, 3-in-1 Shampoo, Bath & Shower Gel, or Castile Bath & Shower Gel
- Use daily on affected areas in the shower.
- Massage gently with lukewarm water — avoid hot water which worsens dryness.
- Pat dry softly — never rub.
🌿 Why it works: All JUSTBLiSS artisan soap bars are plant-based, gentle, and free from harsh detergents — they cleanse without stripping the skin’s natural oils, which is essential for KP-prone skin that already struggles to retain moisture.
✨ Step 2: Exfoliate & Clear Keratin Plugs
Products: Foaming Body Scrub, Activated Charcoal Body & Facial Scrub, or Wooden Bristle Body Brush
- Use the Foaming Body Scrub 2–3 times weekly on arms, thighs, and bumpy patches.
- Use the Activated Charcoal Scrub once weekly for a deeper exfoliation.
- Use the Wooden Bristle Body Brush for daily dry brushing before showering — one of the most effective tools for softening KP over time.
- Always exfoliate gently — aggressive scrubbing can worsen inflammation.
🌿 Why it works: Regular exfoliation removes the dead skin cells and keratin plugs that cause rough bumps, gradually unclogging follicles and smoothing texture. Dry brushing stimulates circulation and keeps follicles clear between washes.
✨ Step 3: Targeted Oil Treatment
Products: Natural Body Oil or Pure Hemp Seed Oil
- Apply immediately after showering while skin is still damp.
- Massage in small circles into affected areas until absorbed.
- Use daily for best results — consistency is key with KP.
🌿 Why it works: Lightweight body oils penetrate deeply to soften keratin plugs, reduce redness, and support natural skin cell turnover — Hemp Seed Oil’s omega fatty acids are particularly effective at calming the inflammation around follicles.
✨ Step 4: Deep Daily Moisture
Products: Rooibos Tea Body Butter or Whipped Body Butter
- Apply generously over body oil while skin is still damp — layer for maximum moisture.
- Focus on upper arms, thighs, and any rough patches.
- Use every single day — KP improves significantly with consistent hydration.
🌿 Why it works: KP skin loses moisture rapidly through rough, plugged follicles — rich rooibos antioxidants and hemp seed oil in the body butters lock in hydration, prevent rough texture, and restore softness over time.
✨ Step 5: Weekly Mineral Soak
Products: Magnesium Bath Salt, Pure Epsom Salt, or Pure Dead Sea Bath Salt
- Add a generous handful to a lukewarm bath once or twice weekly.
- Soak for 15–20 minutes before applying oils and butters.
🌿 Why it works: Mineral salts naturally soften keratin plugs and enhance the skin’s ability to absorb moisturisers applied afterwards — making your oils and butters work even harder.
