Everyone is familiar with the problem of the appearance of the so-called "goose-skin" on the surface of the hands, feet and even the face, when in moments of feeling cold or fear the skin becomes covered with a lot of goosebumps, similar in appearance to the goose's skin. However, if these manifestations remain permanently on the body, then this indicates the presence of a disease - follicular hyperkeratosis. It is expressed by a noticeable densification of the hair follicles on the skin and occurs, mainly, when there is a deficiency in the body of vitamins A, C and E.
In order to get rid of this disease it is necessary to consult a dermatologist and a rather long treatment, but it is possible to significantly reduce the appearance of "goosebump" as a result of various cosmetic procedures, both in the salon and at home in a short period. Here are the most effective of them.
Salon treatments for getting rid of goosebumps
1. Peeling, which deeply cleanses the skin and improves its appearance, color and structure. At the same time on the hands and elbows the best option is peeling with fruit acids (for example, orange or from the pulp of coconut), on the feet - salt peeling, on the face - a softer and gentle almond peeling. With the frequency of procedures 2-3 times a week, the result is noticeable on average after 10-15 sessions.
2. Smoothing skin massage, which significantly improves its appearance and stimulates the strengthening of the general immunity of the body. Optimal options are general, anti-cellulite or vacuum massage, depending on the place and time of exposure to body parts. If there is no risk of varicose veins, honey massage is acceptable.
3. Wrap with seaweed, which perfectly moisturizes the skin and saturates it with healthy vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Home care for goosebumps
1. The inclusion in the daily diet of foods rich in vitamins A, E and C (vegetables, fruits, greens, nuts, olive oil), as well as multivitamin complexes, which are widely available in any pharmacy.
2. Systematic cleansing of the skin by washing, steaming and exfoliating dead layers of the epidermis using scrubs and a hard glove.
3. Moisturizing the skin with moisturizers, creams, balms or gels containing vitamins A and E.
All the above procedures combined with a treatment prescribed by an experienced dermatologist will help you to get rid of follicular hyperkeratosis faster and more efficiently.
