TikTok dermatologist shares £6 hack to help reduce ‘strawberry skin’ on body
ok.co.ukSummer is all well and good, but sundress season can be a bit daunting for those conscious of baring their arms and/or legs due to texture. “Strawberry skin”, aka keratosis pilaris, can affect any of us, and is characterised by a bumpy or rough appearance.
It’s also sometimes known as “KP”, or “chicken skin” because of its freshly-plucked look. And if you have it then you’ll probably want to find a way to smooth the bumps.
Now, TikTok-famous dermatologist Dr Aamna Adel has shared a video explaining how you can lessen the appearance of strawberry skin with the help of some bargain creams from just £6. "Rough bumpy skin on your arms or legs?

"Moisturise within five minutes of showering with creams containing urea, like this one to help loosen the scale," Dr Adel says, showing a bottle of Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 10%, £14 here, to the camera. "The CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream [£12.50 here] is the GOAT and contains both urea and lactic acid," she continues. "AHAs like this glycolic cream from Boots’ own brand work wonders," she adds, sharing a clip of her holding Boots Glycolic acid body cream, £6 here.
