I've Had Bumpy Upper Arms Since I was a Kid—Meet the One Product That's Helped

Because KP is actually the result of dead skin cells sticking around, clogging, and plugging up our pores, it makes sense that exfoliation would be the best way to manage it.

While there have been other products that treat and target KP, this one stood out to me because it was inspired by Korean spas. If you’ve ever had the privilege of going to one and getting your entire body scrubbed from head to toe until all of the dirt, gunk, dead skin cells, and everything else (life regrets, past mistakes, etc.) are basically erased, then you’d probably run straight to this scrub, too.

Peach & Lily founder and CEO Alicia Yoon grew up loving the Korean spa experience because it gave her “unparalleled smoothness” when it came to her own keratosis pilaris bumps and flakey eczema skin. “The iconic part of the spa ritual is the body scrub treatment called ‘se-shin’ but it’s really the total experience that delivered incredible results for me,” Yoon explains. “This includes soaking in soothing waters infused with things like mugwort, and then steaming in the wet sauna, then having the ‘se-shin’ treatment where I’d always ask to have both the physical exfoliation (the gentle version!) and chemical exfoliation with milk or yogurt.” This ritual, she says, is followed by the application of fresh, soothing cucumbers, a lightweight body oil, and all the humidity in the bathhouse sealed in with a body lotion. The result of the entire experience is walking out “smooth as a dolphin,” which is exactly what she set out to replicate with the Body Bump scrub.
