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.

🌸 Closing Note

Chicken skin responds best to patience and consistency — not harsh treatments. JUSTBLiSS brings gentle, plant-based care to rough, bumpy skin. With a daily ritual of exfoliation and deep hydration, your skin becomes softer, smoother, and more comfortable — naturally, over time.

✨ Soften the bumps. Smooth the texture. Glow naturally.

The Science

Why Your Skin Recognises Hemp Seed Oil

Of all the plant oils on earth, hemp seed oil has the closest molecular match to your skin's own natural lipids. Its 3:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio mirrors what your skin barrier is made of — which is why it absorbs instantly, penetrates deeply, and repairs from within. Add gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a rare anti-inflammatory fatty acid, and you have the only plant oil that simultaneously moisturises, reduces inflammation, balances sebum, and strengthens your barrier. No THC. No CBD. Just pure skin intelligence — cold-pressed from Cannabis sativa seeds at peak potency.
