How To Get Rid of Strawberry Legs using natural remedies.
Many people suffer with a skin condition called strawberry legs or chicken skin.
This is where small red bumps appear on the skin,
most commonly on the arms and the front of the thighs, around your hair follicles.
This is a skin condition called Keratosis
Pilaris and happens when your follicles become clogged with too much keratin.
In today's video we will share with you the best 10 natural remedies
to get rid of these small bumps and prevent them from returning.
1. Remedy 1: Retinoid Cream Apply a retinoid cream on a daily basis to help
smooth out the surface of the skin and reduce the appearance of strawberry legs. Retinoids help to
exfoliate your skin cells and unclog the follicles so that your skin becomes softer and smoother.
2. Remedy 2: Virgin Cod Liver Oil
Start taking a teaspoon of virgin, Icelandic cod liver oil daily. Strawberry legs are
usually caused by a Vitamin A deficiency. This oil is the number 1 natural source of Vitamin
A in its active form, which helps to regulate skin cell production and treat the underlying cause.
3. Remedy 3: Ox Bile If you have tried the previous remedies
for 2-3 weeks and still see no changes in your skin, then you may not be absorbing enough Vitamin
A. Start taking an ox bile supplement after every meal. This supports your gallbladder
and helps you to absorb more active Vitamin A to treat your skin internally.
4. Remedy 4: Salicylic Acid (2%) Use a skin product which contains salicylic acid
as a quick treatment for strawberry legs. This is a keratolytic agent which helps to
break down outer layers of the skin to reduce the bumps and blockages in your hair follicles.
This is also excellent for removing dead skin cells.
5. Remedy 5: Consume Salmon Start eating wild caught salmon
at least 3 times per week to load up on beneficial omega 3 fatty acids.
Getting more omega 3 in your diet reduces redness in your skin by lowering inflammation over time.
6. Remedy 6: Shaving Cream Sometimes strawberry legs is
caused by shaving using soap and a blunt razor. Start using a shaving cream on your legs and use
a higher quality, new razor. Go over the skin only once or twice to quickly remove hairs,
without causing a blockage in your pores. Never dry shave, as this causes irritation.
7. Remedy 7: Aloe Vera Ice Cubes After waxing or shaving your legs,
rub some ice cubes made from aloe vera gel and tea tree oil onto your skin.
This soothes, hydrates and moisturises the skin to prevent the formation of
shaving rashes and red bumps. This helps to smooth out skin tone and cleanse your pores.
8. Remedy 8: Natural Exfoliant
Mix 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
and 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel in a small bowl. Massage this mixture in circular motions all
over your legs and arms to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells, dirt and clogged pores.
9. Remedy 9: Exfoliating Mitt
If you find remedy 8 a little too abrasive on your skin, try using a simple exfoliating mitt
and rub the bumpy areas of skin on a regular basis. Gently exfoliating these areas helps
to release clogged keratin from within the follicles, and helps to smooth the skin.
10. Remedy 10: Vitamin E Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps to
support healthy skin cell growth and may also help to prevent chicken skin. Consume more sunflower
seeds, avocados and almonds to boost your Vitamin E stores and improve your overall skin health.
As you can see there are many natural remedies that you can use to get rid of strawberry legs.
Try out of a mixture of these and see which works best for you.
Remember that the true cause of this condition is usually a Vitamin A deficiency.
You can get more Vitamin A into your diet from eating oily fish,
cod liver oil, beef liver, and grass fed animal products.
There is also a precursor to Vitamin A called beta carotene found in vegetables,
however this will not be strong enough to have the desired effect.
You need the active form of Vitamin A, called retinol found in animal foods.
You should also take the ox bile supplements we mentioned in remedy 2,
for these will help your stomach to absorb the Vitamin A. Especially if you have any
digestive problems such as acid reflux, GERD, celiac disease, IBS, Crohn's disease etc..
Be sure to exfoliate the skin using some of the remedies shared today
to help reduce redness and the appearance of strawberry bumps on your legs.
