Understanding Keratosis Pilaris, A Common Skin Disorder

Smooth, flawless skin is something we all dream of irrespective of age, sex, etc. A glowy disease-free skin is the first step of the beauty outside. Although not all are blessed with such a skin yet all wish to have one! Owing to the increased pollution and disrupted lifestyles, our skin has become vulnerable to multiple problems. Most common being acne, pimples,  skin pigmentation, etc. Another skin problem which many of us face is keratosis pilaris. My sister had this problem too. She being in the beauty industry had to struggle a lot because of the same. And it was difficult for me to see her in pain.

What is Keratosis Pilaris?

Keratosis pilaris is a common skin disease which is characterised by numerous red bumps on the skin. They are rough and tiny in nature. Generally found around hair follicles in areas like arms, legs, thighs, buttocks etc. These tiny bumps give a “goosebump” like appearance.

Keratosis pilaris may not be harmful or threatening. Only that they make the appearance displeasing cosmetically.

Causes of Keratosis Pilaris

Keratosis pilaris may be caused due to overproduction of keratin. This causes hyperkeratinization leading to pilaris. The problem may also be genetic. “Keratosis pilaris results from the buildup of keratin — a hard protein that protects skin from harmful substances and infection. The keratin forms a scaly plug that blocks the opening of the hair follicle. Usually, many plugs form, causing patches of rough, bumpy skin.” as sourced from Mayo Clinic.

Treatment With Curcumin

As mentioned earlier, keratosis pilaris doesn’t cause any such medical problem. Only it looks bad cosmetically. My sister had to get rid of them and I kept looking for ways and treatments. We didn’t want to go for laser or chemical treatments. And were curiously looking for something organic and more nature related. After a lot of research, we came across this organic and natural product by Bagdara Farms, Dermaturm.

I generally don’t tend to believe things at first as they claim to be. Hence I took all my techno weapons and started doing exhaustive research. And here’s the extract of it shared with you.

Dermaturm contains turmeric, whole root of turmeric. We all are aware of the good factors turmeric contains for the skin. It’s antibacterial and antifungal properties keep the infections at bay. Also, its antioxidant properties keep oxidative stress away. This saves the skin from any oxidative stress.

Ok right. The next thing I wondered was if turmeric we’re so good, why do I not just use regular turmeric.

With more of research, I found that it’s not turmeric but curcumin responsible for all the medicinal properties of turmeric. And for the desired therapeutic effect, it’s important that there is the correct percentage of curcumin.

Dermaturm by Bagdara Farms contains the right percentages of curcumin. It is organically developed specially processed for skin ailments like acne, pimples, scars and other ailments.

It is a natural, pain-free and soothing way to treat problems of the skin.

I was happy to have known about the product. I bought the product and used it for more than 3 months. I am happy to see my sister’s skin glowing and lustrous. She was pretty already and now she’s become prettier with the flawless skin. Turmeric in Dermaturm seems to have enhanced her natural complexion and skin shine.

Motivated by her, I have started using the product for myself too.

One thing I liked the most about Dermaturm is its aroma and texture. They speak of its authenticity. Its aroma is so natural and organic in all senses.

Bottled in a glass container with a screw lid, it ensures the high shelf life of the product. It keeps the aroma and other physical and chemical properties of the product intact.

I would recommend this product to everyone passing teenage or adulthood. Because at this time skin is more prone to acne and other skin problems due to sweat, dust, oil, pollution and other lifestyle reasons.

Overall the product t is a thumbs up. And is worth whatever it takes for a naturally glowing flawless skin!
