Facial Keratosis Pilaris? Here’s the Skincare Routine That Works
Following our Keratosis Pilaris blog a few months ago, many of you shared that some of you had noticed it appearing on your face.
The good news? With the right routine, like gentle cleansing, light exfoliation, and nourishing moisture, you can calm and improve facial KP without harsh products.
Recently, one of our customers asked us the very question so many of you have wondered:
“What is the best cleanser for Keratosis Pilaris on your face?”
We loved this question, because it gave us the chance to share a simple, effective routine for treating facial KP naturally.
Why Facial KP Needs a Specific Routine
Facial skin is much more delicate than the skin of the rest of the body, which means the products you use matter more. Using harsh scrubs or abrasive cleansers can exacerbate KP, especially on sensitive facial skin. That is why we always recommend keeping things simple, consistent, and nourishing.
Step One: Gentle Cleansing
Start with our Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover Extra Sensitive. Use warm (never hot) water and allow this gentle formula to cleanse your skin without stripping away its natural oils.
We recommend the Extra Sensitive formula because it is created without essential oils. When dealing with KP or any other flare-up, essential oil-free products are the best choice to keep your skin calm while it heals.
Step Two: Gentle Exfoliation
KP is caused by a buildup of keratin around the hair follicle, which leads to those tiny red bumps that seem impossible to get rid of. The best way to care for them is with mild exfoliation. This helps loosen the buildup around the follicle and encourages keratin to be released.
Our Facial Scrub is designed for delicate skin, so you can gently buff away dead cells without irritation. Take your time, keep your motions light, and rinse with warm water and use a washcloth for the most soothing experience.
Step Three: Daily Moisturizer
Moisturizing is the most important part of improving KP, especially on the face. Without it, your skin can become dry and rough, which makes the bumps stand out even more.
Our Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive provides soothing hydration with organic botanicals that nourish while calming the skin at the same time. Apply it daily to lock in moisture, soothe irritation, and help your skin recover from KP.
Bonus Step: Weekly Support with the Rejuvenating Mask
If you’d like to take your routine one step further, our Rejuvenating Mask is a great addition. It is packed with organic botanicals, including Diatomaceous Earth, French Green Clay, and Hawaiian Blue-Green Algae. These nourishing ingredients help calm, hydrate, and smooth the skin.
Using it once or twice a week gives your face a gentle reset, making it the perfect complement to your KP care routine!
What You Can Expect
With consistency and by keeping up with this facial KP routine, most people begin to notice smoother skin within about a week. Every person’s skin is unique, so results may take longer for some, but with continued use, you should see less KP and more brighter, glowing skin.
We are deeply passionate about helping you find clean, gentle, and effective solutions that let your natural beauty shine. If you have tried this routine for facial KP, we would love to hear about your results. Your stories inspire us and help others discover what works best!
