Hello guys, summer is finally here and I’m itching to break out the shorts and skirts but I also have keratosis pilaris. I’ve been lurking on some forums and saw some people mentioning success with different routines. So, I was hoping some of you skincare wizards here might have some advice! What products have worked wonders for your keratosis pilaris? Any tips for keeping those bumps at bay during the hot summer months?
