What is Keratosis Pilaris?

Keratosis pilaris is a common mild condition in which the backs of the upper arms look rather like dried out, plucked chicken flesh. Keratosis pilaris is hereditary.

The characteristic rash is caused by firm little plugs forming in the hair follicles. The plugs themselves are made of bits of keratin, the main protein found in the outermost protective layer of skin (thus the name keratosis). These plugged follicles give the skin a raised, stippled appearance -- usually called goosebumps. The bumps are usually skin color or slightly pinker, and do not itch. The rash is often not noticeable to others, except on close inspection.

Classically, the condition appears in early childhood, often around the age of two or three. Since the rash is associated with and worsened by dryness of the skin, most people experience a clear-cut seasonal variation -- generally worse in the winter. Although the rash changes in intensity from time to time, the baseline usually stays the same until middle adolescence, when it begins to improve. Adults who still have keratosis pilaris often experience further improvement during the middle decades. The average age when spontaneous improvement is first noted is sixteen.

Although keratosis pilaris is hereditary, the rash is more common in those with eczema, dry skin, or vitamin A deficiency (or a number of more esoteric skin conditions). The most common spot on the body for keratosis pilaris is the backs of the upper arms (92% of affected people have it there). Next most common is the thighs (59%). It can also occur on the face, buttocks, and eyebrows.

Treatment for keratosis pilaris is not necessary, and unfortunately, it often has disappointing results. With persistence, most people can get improve this aesthetic state by moisturizing and replenishing the skin frequently. You should start your treatment with a good, concentrated, moisturizing lotion. You can try an ointment such as Acid mantle, Vaseline or Complex 15 after bathing, and re-apply the ointment again several times daily. Still, there is no assurance that this unpleasant disorder will disappear or lessen with these creams.

If this does not help, alter your treatment to a medicated cream containing urea (Curel, Carmol-20) or alpha-hydroxy acids (Aqua Glycolic, Lacticare). To get these balms you will need a medical prescription, and he/she will counsel you on proper care. In most cases they’ll tell you to apply these lotions twice a day. In this specific case, more is not better, it may be too harsh to use with higher frequency. More aggressive home microdermabrasion can be done if your skin can tolerate it. The clogged pores can be cleaned by taking long, hot soaking tub baths and then rubbing the areas with a rough washcloth, stiff brush, or 'Buf-Puf'. Also, a good dermabrasion proceeding can help get rid of all the excess keratin, but it can leave scarring behind.

Prescription medicines may aid and soften, including some antibiotics like Erythromycin and Bactrim. If the puffiness or redness of the bumps is getting worse, you should think about the medical use of topical retinoids. The derivatives of vitamin A can be very insensitive for the skin, so be conscious of all the symptoms you develop, to avoid scarring or some other side effect.

BIOSKINCARE™ cream has properties that can help diminish your Keratosis pilaris. First of all, it softens coarse and dry skin by deeply hydrating all layers of the skin. Secondly, it removes unnecessary keratin and thus unclogs pores. Third, it is also an anti-inflammatory complex, so the redness and sweeling diminish.

It also regulates the production of keratin and it helps to attract moisture. It promotes fibroblast reproduction and the proper lay down of connective tissues.

When applied it also restores the skin's capacity to hold in moisture by accelerating the production of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans from within the deep layers of the skin.

It has enzymes that digest any abnormal cells, so the skin will slowly amend itself. BIOSKINCARE should be applied to the affected area twice a day to have healthy, silky, beautiful skin.

BIOSKINTREATMENT LOTION clears skin of keratin bumps and regenerates healthy skin

The product is made with the same base as BIOSKINCARE pluis Salix Nigra (Willow) Extract and Amorphophallus Konjac Root Powder for a more potent keratolitic effect that cleans the excess horny material of the skin by degrading keratin plugs and dissolving debris, damaged, abnormal and necrotic tissues. It decongests the skin as the enzymes in the snail serum and the natural salicylic acid in willow bark extract help to 'digest' all damaged structures into their amino-acid and other components, which also favors the regeneration of all the structural components of healthy skin.

It leaves your skin smooth, refreshed, soft and with use over a period of time it takes away keratosis pilaris, actinic keratsis scales, and controls acne and reduces and even vanishes all types of skin blemishes: razor nicks and burns, roughness, blisters, scrapes, cuts, and the list can go on and on...

Ultra exfoliate rough scars and dull skin with BIOSKINEXFOL

Home microdermabrasion cream. Contains the same natural ingredients in BIOSKINTREATMENT but infused with micro-crystals so that you may rub it with your finger tips to remove old, hard, and tough scars or stretch marks by a physical breakdown of the scar tissues. Best also for oily skin and aged skin, actinic keratosis scales and pitted acne scars. Not for keloids and not if your skin is still fragile (use BIOSKINTREATMENT for a few months first to strengthen your skin). The compounded action of the physical abrasion and the enzymes in the cream liquefy damaged proteins more thoroughly helping to release amino-acids to aid in rebuilding damaged tissues quickly. Results are not only immediate, but compound over time and do not trigger inflamm-aging of delicate skin tissues.

Biological Skin Treatment Ingredient

Our products contain a biological serum created by a living creature. It is packed with enzymes, coenzymes, glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans (hyaluronic acid), proteoglycans, peptides and oligoelements that (a) dissolve keratin plugs that obstruct the hair follicles and cause hiperkeratosis or acne and damaged and dysfunctional tissues, (b) regenerate healthy skin by promoting the proliferation of fibroblasts and supporting microcirculation in capillaries, (c) scavenge oxygen radicals and the damaging effects of excessive solar radiation and (c) keep microbes in check by the action of antimicrobial peptides secreted on the skin and within the hair follicles.

It keeps the skin moisturized, prevents skin infection, repairs wounds, promotes scarless healing, and renews the skin.

The collection of the biological ingredient in our products is done by using a humanely method that inflicts no damage upon the little creatures from which we gather the biological compound that can not possible be replicated in even the most sophisticated laboratory.

Skin Treatment Products

BIOSKINTREATMENT ™
Clears keratosis pilaris and actinic keratosis scales by the action of two ingredients: the enzymes in a biological serum and salicylic acid as is naturally in willow bark extract. As the keratin and damaged cells are broken down into their amino-acid and other components they are used for the regeneration of all the structural components of healthy skin. Product is in a 2oz pump bottle. Price is $60 and you get a 20% discount when you order more than one.

BIOSKINTREATMENT™ BIOSKINCARE ™
A deeply moisturizing and pure natural skin care cream that dissolves keratin plugs and debris and unblocks clogged pores allowing for the outflow of sebum to the surface where it lubricates and protects the skin instead of causing injuries to the cells lining the follicles and an inflammatory reaction of the body to repair the damage. Triggers the rebuilding of damaged and dead tissues and restores the capacity of the skin to hold in water from within. Rrestores the lipid wall of our skin thereby impeding the penetration of allergens and toxins. It induces the production of antimicrobial peptides on the surface of the skin and within the skin follicles contributing to control microrganisms. Signals the body it is being taken care of and does not need to fire its immune responses and overly react to minor injuries thus avoiding the loss of tissues that characterizes deep scars. Avoids scarring and diminishes scars from accidents, surgery, stretch marks, hypertrophic and keloid scars, by the breakdown of abnormal, dysfunctional and damaged tissues into their amino acid components while stimulating their replacement with new healthy skin structures. Vanishes redness and dryness, relieves eczema and dermatitis, reduces psoriasis scales and most skin blemishes. Repairs skin damaged by glycolic peeling and other chemical peels, dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. By strengthening the skin it relieves the uncomfortable side effects of retinoic drugs such as Accutane that thin the skin. Reduces and heals skin fragility and is a potent antioxidant thus helping to reduce the damaging effects on the dermis of sun burns and too much exposure to solar radiation. It also helps to heal blisters, bruises, wounds, and the consequences on the skin of ionizing radiotherapy or radiodermatitis. 50 gram (1.76 oz) jar = $59.98 and for two or more 20% off.

BIOSKINEXFOL™
A home microdermabrasion cream with micro-crystals that breakdown hard, rough and old scar tissues, and allow for a deeper penetration of our natural skin moisturizing and regeneration complex contained in the microdermarasion cream.120 gram (4 oz) jar = $79.-

BIO STRETCH MARK CREAM™
Prevents stria or stretch marks, strengthens skin, firms sagging breasts and body areas and reduces cellulite. It works for newly formed stretch marks and scars, while BIOSKINEXFOL works best for old, rough and raised marks. The base cream is the same as in BIOSKINTREATMENT, in a more economical container, with 6 oz. but for use only on the body, not on the face, because it contains a slightly higher proportion of the biological complex which results in an invisible film that retains in moisture by occluding the area where it is applied but may feel a little tacky on the face. 6 oz (180g) tottle = $119.00

BIO SKIN REJUVENATION™

Same cream base and enzymes as in BIOSKINTREATMENT to "digest" or dissolve blemishes, speed skin turnover and tighten skin, and two added ingredients. A human growth factor peptide, derived from the melanocyte-stimulating-hormone which blocks melanin synthesis, and reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation, allowing control over skin tone and brown spots. And a natural plant extract that takes away dark pigmentation. Leaves skin bright and refreshed! 50 gram jar = $69.98.

BIOSKINCLEAR™

An oil free moisturizer gel for acne, rosacea and facial scars. Heals lesions to the cells lining the hair follicles which is the root cause of inflammatory acne. Removes dead cells, unclogs sebum canals and dissolves scar tissues by enzymatic hydrolysis, without peeling. Promotes the proliferation of antimicrobials that control acne bacteria. Boosts reproduction of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that retain water, thus truly moisturizing the skin from within. Tells the body it is being taken care off and can moderate an otherwise extreme inflammatory reaction that may end up destroying healthy skin cells and creating crater like scarring and not only the acne bacteria. 50 gram (1.76 oz) airless pump bottle $49 and 20% off for two or more.
