hey everyone, just curious here… does anyone have (or had) keratosis pilaris? It’s a condition where you have small little red bumps on your skin, and is pretty common. I’ve had it my entire life on the back of arm and tops of my thighs, and after years and years of living in embarrassment with it, I just learned to live with it. I’ve been to many doctors and all say the same thing, it’s harmless and there’s nothing you can do about it. So, I was curious if anyone else here has had this, and if it had just gone away from eating raw, or did you do something special to help it go away? Any advice or stories would be so helpful.
Oh! and also curious, what do you use to wash your face? I also have horrible skin and don’t know whether to keep using my proactive face wash (which doesn’t work too well) or try to use something natural. I have pretty oily skin and tend to break out, so when I hear that people wash their face with oil, I don’t think it would work too well for me. Thanks to everyone!

I don’t know anything about keratosis pilaris, but I agree with Katie that simple is better when it comes to face washing. One of my friends uses only water and washcloth, as well as some occasional vinegar I think, and I too am finding that the less I interfere, the better.
I definitely recommend coconut oil. I have been using it on my skin after a shower for maybe 7 months now and the bumps are almost gone which makes me very happy. Exfoliation probably helps too but I can’t seem to remember to use my skin brush before I jump in the shower anymore.
you’re probably omega 3 deficienct. i’m assuming you’re vegan/ vegetarian. your body may not convert the maximum amount of efa’s to dha/epa. i’m not sure of a definite cure based for someone who is vegan/vegetarian, if your not against the idea, i would suggest supplementing with fish oil. it usually clears little bumps from the knee and tricep area in a couple weeks.
