BOOST your BODY confidence!

GET SMOOTH, FEEL SEXY

So many body products claim to do things that they simply can’t, but one thing that is possible is smoothing out texture issues.

1 Keratosis pilaris

These purple, red or white bumps on the upper arms, thighs and bottom are caused by a build-up of keratin in hair follicles. They’re annoying but harmless, and can be made worse by too-hot showers, fragranced products and abrasive scrubs. Instead use a mild acid exfoliator a couple of times a week to remove dead cells and discourage blockages. Body Strategist Peel Scrub, £31, comfortzone.it, combines the gentle acid PHA and softening emollients. Or try CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream, £12, , a daily body lotion that combines salicylic and lactic acid.
