KERATOSIS PILARIS & STRAWBERRY LEGS?
How to treat bumpy problem skin
Do you have bumps on your upper arms, red spots on your legs, or a skin surface that feels rough and uneven? Keratosis pilaris and what is often called “strawberry legs” are two common skin conditions that many people experience – especially during the winter months when the skin becomes drier.
Fortunately, there are gentle but effective methods that can help – without harsh acids or medical treatments. With regular dry brushing and a nourishing, nourishing oil, you can achieve both visible and noticeable results.
What are keratosis pilaris and strawberry legs?
Keratosis pilaris is caused by a buildup of keratin that clogs the hair follicles, causing small, red or white bumps on the skin – often on
upper arms, thighs, buttocks or cheeks. It is completely harmless, but can feel uncomfortable.
Strawberry legs often occur after shaving, and cause small dark dots in the hair follicles, reminiscent of strawberry seeds. This is most often caused by ingrown hairs, clogged pores or small inflammations in the skin.
Why does dry brushing help?
With regular use, dry brushing can contribute to more even skin tone and reduced visibility of both keratosis pilaris and strawberry legs.
Dry brushing with our Body Brush is a simple but highly effective method to:
- Exfoliate away dead skin cells
- Increase blood circulation
- Clean pores and prevent clogged hair follicles
- Soften the skin so it absorbs care products more easily
Combine with nourishing oil
After dry brushing, we recommend applying our Marvellous Oil Blend – a natural and organic body oil formulated to care for dry, sensitive and uneven skin.
Combined with dry brushing, the oil will help soothe the skin, provide intense nourishment and glow, and reduce irritation – without synthetic ingredients or strong fragrances that can aggravate sensitive skin.
The oil's star ingredients that give glowing skin
Prickly Pear
Prickly pear oil is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, which help to deeply moisturize the skin and improve skin elasticity.
Camellia
Camellia oil is rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidants, which improve skin elasticity and leave it soft and supple.
Plum seed
Plum seed oil is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, which protect the skin from free radicals and promote an even, glowing skin tone.
Borage
Borage oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid, which helps soothe irritated skin and provide intensive moisture to dry or sensitive skin.

How to use the Body Brush and Marvellous Oil Blend
- Dry brush the skin with light, circular movements – always on dry skin before showering. Start at the feet and work your way up towards the heart, and towards the lymph nodes.
- Shower or take a bath to rinse off dead skin cells. Use a gentle, nourishing shower gel like our organic Body Wash.
- Apply Marvellous Oil Blend to damp skin right after showering – it helps lock in moisture and gives a silky-smooth finish.
Repeat 3-5 times a week for best results. Many people experience a noticeable difference after just a couple of weeks!
