How to get rid of goose bumps, provided that goose bumps appeared not at all because we were frozen as hell or were mortally frightened of something? Alas, quite often goose bumps or, as cosmetologists call it, follicular hyperkeratosis, is not a momentary phenomenon, but a serious disease, it is impossible to get rid of it for good. However, you can reduce its manifestations.

Before choosing for yourself one of the procedures described below, please note that in some cases this disease is a symptom of the pathology of internal organs, therefore before starting the fight against goose bumps, you should consult a doctor… Successful treatment of the underlying disease will be able to normalize the skin condition over time.

Goose bumps: how to get rid of?
As mentioned above, goose bumps cannot be completely cured. You can only reduce its manifestations. The best way is to steam the skin in a sauna or steam bath, and then peel with enzymes or fruit acids. They have strong exfoliating properties. Such peelings remove dead cells, open pores, improve the structure and color of the skin, while moisturizing it. Of course, the effect will not appear immediately. But if you treat the problem area 2-3 times a week, then after 10 procedures you will notice obvious changes: the skin will become smooth and silky.
Another option for getting rid of goose bumps is peeling with seaweed. It smoothes and softens the skin, saturating it with trace elements, minerals and oxygen. As a result, it becomes smooth and velvety.
It is important to remember that any exfoliation must be supplemented with hydration. Therefore, it is good to combine peels with wraps. So, algal wrap actively nourishes the skin, grape – relaxes and saturates with microelements, cranberry – normalizes the water balance.
We do not slow down the pace of the fight against goose bumps at home – every morning and evening we rub problem areas with a stiff brush or washcloth. Then rub emollient cream, milk or oil into them in a circular motion. They must contain vitamins E and A. Such procedures must be done constantly.
