Body Care for Blemishes & Rough Skin

Frequently Asked Questions

Body breakouts can be caused by excess oil, dead skin cells, sweat, friction and bacteria that clog pores on areas such as the back, chest and shoulders. Hormonal changes can also contribute to body blemishes in some people.

Using targeted body care products containing ingredients such as salicylic acid can help clear pores, reduce congestion and support smoother-looking skin.

Keratosis pilaris, sometimes called "chicken skin" or "strawberry skin", is a common condition that causes small, rough bumps, usually on the upper arms, thighs or buttocks. It occurs when keratin builds up and blocks hair follicles.

Regular exfoliation and body treatments containing ingredients such as salicylic acid can help smooth rough skin and improve its overall appearance with consistent use.

Rough or bumpy skin often benefits from regular exfoliation and moisturising. Exfoliating ingredients help remove the build-up of dead skin cells, while hydrating body products support the skin barrier and improve overall skin texture.

Consistent use can help smooth rough patches, improve the appearance of keratosis pilaris and leave skin feeling softer and more even.

How often you use body blemish treatments depends on the product and your skin's needs. Some cleansers are suitable for daily use, while exfoliating treatments and sprays should always be used according to the product directions.

If you're introducing active ingredients such as salicylic acid, start gradually and monitor how your skin responds. Follow with a moisturiser if needed and use sunscreen on exposed skin during the day.
