SMOOTHEN YOUR SKIN ASK OUR PHARMACIST “Extra keratin (a natural protein) gets trapped in your hair follicles and can cause bumps on the skin. This is mostly caused by genetics and is common if you have dry skin or a dry skin condition such as eczema,” Aruj explains. Other factors, including taking long hot showers or baths and over-cleansing may lead to dryness and texture on the skin, which can be associated with keratosis pilaris. THE BODY SCRUB “This body scrub is specifically formulated with AHAs and pumice buffing beads to help provide chemical and physical exfoliation to your skin. Our in-house pharmacist, Aruj Javid, reveals the secret to softer, smoother skin with First Aid Beauty’s bestselling body scrub to help banish bumps and rough patches ahead of National Bikini Day. “Enriched with calming bisabolol and soothing antioxidant vitamin E, you only need to use this finely milled scrub once a week!” she recommends. THE AHA BLEND Aruj says that AHAs such as lactic acid and glycolic acid can help to gently exfoliate your body, similarly to your face. “They remove the build-up of dead skin cells that can cause your skin to look dull, therefore can help to brighten the skin on your body,” she shares. 12
