GOODBYE TO DRYNESS & ROUGHNESS

Give bare skin the best start for summer with the new Medik8 Smooth Body Exfoliating Kit, which instantly revitalises rough, dry or bumpy skin in just three steps. The kit includes a scrub, mitt and a lotion and together they work to smooth visible raised skin bumps caused by a common skin condition called keratosis pilaris. The kit is suitable for all skin types and can also be used to target very dry skin, ingrown hairs and uneven fake tan. Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition that affects approximately 40 per cent of adults. Most commonly affecting the arms and thighs – and unflatteringly referred to as chicken skin – it appears as painless small bumps that can be skin toned, red or dark and is often accompanied by dry, rough skin. It is caused by an excess of keratin protein, which forms plugs and blocks the hair follicles. The Medik8 Smooth Body Exfoliating Kit includes the Smooth Body Scrub, a rich, moringa butter-infused formula that uses bamboo particles and natural pumice to scrub off dead skin. It also has high-strength lactic acid that works to chemically exfoliate, breaking down the bonds between skin cells and thus helping to trigger cellular renewal for fresh skin. The double-sided Smooth Body Mitt removes dry flaky skin and gently unblocks hair follicles. Finally, Smooth Body Lotion uses a powerful trio of chemical exfoliators to loosen pore blockages and nourishing moringa butter to protect and hydrate the skin.
