Hey, I’m looking for a brightening body scrub to help with my keratosis pillars on my arms and would love some recs! Was thinking of trying the Kate Somerville body scrub but if anyone has any better suggestions I’m all ears.
Thanks, from Ellie

II think Neom do scrubs really well - I love this for everyday
And this for a couple of times a week

Oh my god I could wax lyrical about Kate Somerville’s - this is my fave:
It’s expensive but you only need a bit and it completely dissolves dead skin cells. I am always super soft after!
For something a bit more affordable, I recommend Naturium xx

Agree with Becky!
I love a good body scrub! I used to get a lot of KP bumps so have tried quite a few products to help and First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub really has made the most long term difference - even when I’ve run out and don’t use for a little while the bumps don’t come back like they used to! I also second the Real Luxury one from Neom for a treat. x

I have KP too & have found the First Aid Beauty scrub to be brilliant. My arms are much softer and less red. Make sure you rinse properly and use a good nourishing body moisturiser afterwards.

This stuff is literally magic - it’s a physical and chemical exfoliator and that double whammy will get rid of KP so quickly!
I LOVE this stuff – really nice to put on before a shower:

I ended up getting the Naturism one and absolutely loving the results, but the smell is a bit off-putting …
I really love the scalp and body scrub by Ouai! Smells divine

I struggle with similar issues and I’ve found that combining body scrubs and lotions that contain salicylic acid are the most effective. I often stick to the classics:

The new inkey list glycolic body bar is so good for KP!
