Many who have treated strawberry skin have found relief for rough skin with a combination of exfoliation and moisturizing. Here are a few experiences from our customers in their own words.

"My pre-teen has suffered from keratosis pilaris on her arms and especially her cheeks. After trying everything from pharmacy products, we got a tip about shea butter combined with a Särkisalo salt soap wash. Now, after two weeks of soap washing and moisturizing, the keratosis pilaris has significantly reduced and the skin is softer."

Keratosis pilaris, also known as strawberry skin or chicken skin:

is a common and harmless skin condition that appears as small, rough, raised bumps, most often on the arms, thighs, and buttocks. The bumps may feel rough and look reddish, but they can be softened and reduced with proper skincare.

How to treat strawberry skin or keratosis pilaris

Keratosis pilaris occurs when excess keratin accumulates in the hair follicles. They cannot be permanently removed, but with regular and gentle care, roughness and bumps can be visibly softened and reduced.

One of the most effective ways is regular exfoliation with Saaren Taika salt soap in the shower. It removes dead skin cells and excess keratin from the skin's surface. After exfoliation, moisturizing the skin is important to keep it flexible and soft.

After exfoliation, moisturize the skin well. Saaren Taika shea butter is an excellent option for all ages, as its deep moisturizing properties help soften the skin and reduce redness. Shea butter is fragrance-free and additive-free, making it suitable even for the most sensitive skin.

Frequently asked questions about strawberry skin care products

How do I choose the right product for strawberry skin care?

Rough skin is best treated by combining two things: gentle exfoliation, which removes dead skin cells, and abundant moisturization, which softens the skin and supports its protective barrier. So, start with an exfoliating product and a moisturizing cream. Just one alone will not produce as good results as both together.

How often should the skin be exfoliated?

Strawberry skin should be exfoliated regularly but gently, typically a couple of times a week. Avoid vigorous rubbing, as this will increase redness and irritation and will not speed up the results. Always moisturize your skin thoroughly after exfoliation.

Are the products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Saaren Taika's strawberry skin care products are also suitable for sensitive and reactive skin. Fragrance-free and additive-free options are the safest choice if your skin is easily irritated.
