There are several different types of keratosis pilaris:

• Keratosis pilaris rubra: red, inflamed bumps
• Keratosis pilaris alba: rough, white, bumpy skin
• Keratosis pilaris rubra faceii: reddish rash over the cheeks

Many people with keratosis pilaris do not know they have it, especially because it may no be severe, hair might dissimulate it, or you may confuse it with another condition such as acne or atopic dermatitis.

While KP resembles goose bumps, it is diagnosed by a dermatologist because of the appearance of small rough bumps covering a specific area of the dermal tissue.

In most cases, this condition will be diagnosed without testing, but to be sure, a biopsy is the best way to go. This procedure is almost painless; the doctor will scrape of some skin and extract a bump. The results, if suffering from KP will be an inner surplus of a self organized protein known as keratin. Keratosis pilaris occurs as excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin, accumulates within the hair follicles creating hard clogs, a process known as hyperkeratinization.

Although the clogging seems to be a problem, this has only a cosmetic consequence, the condition most often appears as a propagation of tiny hard bumps that are hardly ever sore or itchy. Though people with keratosis pilaris suffer this condition year round, it’s throughout the colder months when moisture levels in the air are lower that the problem can become exacerbated and the “chicken skin” is apt to look and feel more distinct in color and texture.

There is no known cure for Keratosis pilaris. Some improvement or even disappearance of the condition may be experienced with age; however, some will show signs of keratosis pilaris for life.

Treatments are mostly symptomatic and must be repeated. Regardless, exfoliation by enzymes or physical exfoliation, moisturizing creams, lac-hydrin, and medicated lotions with alpha-hydroxy acids or urea may be used to momentarily improve the appearance and texture of affected skin.

Scratching and picking at KP a bump is forbidden, they can redden, bleed and become infected. If this happens, an unsightly scar can be left as a reminder. Wearing loose clothing can also help lessen the flaws, as constant chafing from clothing (such as tight fitting jeans) is parallel to repeatedly scratching the bumps.

We offer a solution for Keratosis Pilaris Alba, a natural cream/lotion with Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates. It is a biological ingredient collected from live snails and contains a complex compound of molecules that protect the skin from free radical oxidation, promote the proliferation of the water holding molecules in the skin and the healthy turnover of connective tissues, dissolve damaged and non functional tissues such as keratin plugs by enzymatic digestion or breakdown of their amino-acid components, and has antimicrobial properties.

BIOSKINTREATMENT and BIOSKINEXFOL are natural skin care products that require constancy in their use to achieve results. You must apply BIOSKINEXFOL three times a week, or the BIOSKINTREATMENT lotion twice a day every day. It is important to be patient since results will not be immediate, not even fast. For most people results will be seen in 5 to 6 weeks.

The natural immune serum produced by snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller is characterized as a complex of glycoconjugates formed by glycosaminoglycans (GAGs, glucose chains), proteins and copper peptides (amino-acid chains), bio-available copper and other trace minerals or oligoelements, and glycoprotein enzymes. The natural colloid also contains natural antimicrobial peptides that act as defense molecules against opportunistic bacteria.

The serum is a biological activator that eliminates through enzymes all excess keratin and renews healthy cells.

The enzymatic process is such that keratin molecules are split into two parts by reacting with a molecule of water. One of the parts gets an OH- from the water molecule and the other part gets an H+ from the water. This separates the keratin into two different amino acids, and are thus removed from the skin.

This is distinct from a hydration reaction, very much like an enzymatic dissolution helps the skin become more even and smooth. In organic chemistry, enzyme dissolution can be considered as the reverse or opposite of water losing. So, by this process, the skin is turned into a silky, smooth tissue.

It also controls opportunistic micro-organisms with its antimicrobial peptides. The peptides help to control the bacteria that are always ready to intrude when skin is damaged by germs, inflammation or injuries.

The ingredients in BIOSKINTREATMENT and BIOSKINEXFOL are capable of quickly reducing the swelling or edema of traumatized epidermal layers by actually “digesting” or breaking down damaged tissue and ruptured cells at the site of skin lesions. This breakdown of wounded tissues allows the waste materials to be removed quickly. The prompt action has the capability to reduce inflammation and subsequent pain, speeding the healing process and encouraging regeneration of healthy cells.

The immune serum as a whole, not an isolated element or drug derived from it, when applied to human skin, “digests” or dissolves keratin and triggers the reproduction of new healthy cells with the perfect amount of collagen, elastin, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans (glycans bound to core proteins) from within the deep layers of the skin.

Glycoconjugates are complex sugar molecules that partake in the regulation of physiological processes through their interactions with a wide variety of proteins and proteoglycans (PGs). On the other hand, they have a vital role in cell proliferation, migration and adhesion. The snail secretion has a double function when it comes to these molecules: it contains them, but, what is far more important, it stimulates the proliferation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) within the skin matrix.

GAGs have an ample water holding capacity, so they occupy a large space within the extra-cellular matrix of the skin.

Proteoglycans (PGs), as its name says, are proteins linked to glucose chains (GAGs). They are vital components of connective skin tissues. They play an essential role in modulating the structure and regulating the functions of cells and molecules the dermal layers. The opportune turnover of ProteoGlycans stimulates cell development and differentiation.

Keratosis Pilaris Alba can be prevented and treated with this naturally active skin regenerating compound which is combined with all natural emollients, emulsifiers and moisturizers and presented in two natural skin care products.

BIOSKINEXFOL, a home microdermabrasion and skin regenerating cream embedded with micro-crystals that exfoliate old, rough, damaged tissues and keratin plugs. Once these dead and damaged tissues are removed, the cream penetrates through the dermal layers and gets rid of the excess keratin. This process should be done three times a week, at night, after a warm bath or shower. Gently massage and rub BIOSKINEXFOL on the skin. You can use your fingertips or a microdermabrasion tool.

BIOSKINTREATMENT is a skin regenerating lotion that prevents hyperkeratinization, reduces the appearance of new bumps and promises a blemish free complexion. This should be used twice a day, all week long.

Exfoliation can help remove the bumps, dull skin and the dead cells that show as keratosis, but only if the skin has been sufficiently loosened, for instance, by a bath. This can be done with our BIOSKINEXFOL cream or with a body scrub massaged on the area. After the massage apply BIOSKINTREATMENT lotion immediately on your reddened skin to trigger and accelerate new collagen formation and glycosaminoglycans that help retain moisture within your skin.

BIOSKINTREATMENT and BIOSKINEXFOL work because the biological serum and the formulation makes it the most complete and balanced natural solution for the normal functioning of the skin and for regeneration of damaged skin.

Keratosis Pilaris Lotion

BIOSKINTREATMENT is a biological solution for keratosis pilaris.

The lotion is powered by a complex biological compound with enzymes that “digest” or breakdown the hard keratin plugs of the hair follicles and dissolve abnormal keratin and tissues, releasing their amino acids for the rebuilding of healthy tissues.

It boosts the production of glycosaminoglycans the water holding molecules in healthy skin. It contains copper peptides that speed skin recovery and antimicrobial peptides that control microbes. It addresses all the factors involved in keratosis pilaris, acne, inflammation, scars and skin blemishes.

The lotion also contains natural salicylic acid extracted from the Willow Bark Tree and softens scales, unclogs pores and acts as a biological activator of both the elimination of dead and damaged skin cells and the renewal of healthy cells.

With the use of BIOSKINTREATMENT for a month you may remain free of Keratosis for months and possibly years. Or you may need to repeat the treatment every 6 months.

BIOSKINTREATMENT grinds down keratosis scales and horny crusts through enzyme dissolution of keratin and hydrolysis of abnormal tissues, and prevents the growth of actinic keratosis scaly formations

• Dissolves dead and dying cells on the topmost micron of skin (part of the outer layer that is no thicker than a sheet of paper, slowly and over a period of time)
• Digests damaged cells and keratin plugs within the dermis by the action of biological enzymes
• Stimulates the use of the aminoacids that the enzymes free and activates the fibroblast stem cells which favor the proliferation of new healthy connective tissues and all the structural elements of healthy skin
• Stimulates the formation of the extracellular binding between cells, thus improving skin strength, cutting down on fragility.
• Restores the capacity of the skin to remain hydrated by stimulating the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, the molecules that give skin its capacity to keep in moisture. This helps to thicken the dermis resulting in a lessening of sagging and less fine lines and wrinkles.
• Neutralizes free radicals by the action of its potent antioxidants that also have an anti-inflammatory effect.
• Inhibits microbiological activity of dangerous, pathogenic skin bacteria, including acne.
• Regulates blood vessel formation and oxygenation within the capillaries in the skin contributing to its proper nourishment.
• Regulates dermal fibroblast proliferation and excess collagen, and thus prevents and reduces abnormal scars such as keloid and hyperthropic scarring and slowly but consistently gets rid of ice-pick scars or pitted acne scars.

BIOSKINTREATMENT also treats the dry, scaly skin that is present when skin is affected by actinic keratosis or ichthyosis vulgaris by exfoliating and thus reducing keratin clogged pores. And it helps to remove ingrown hairs and treat folliculitis (barber’s itch)

BIOSKINTREATMENT LOTION clears skin of keratin bumps and regenerates healthy skin

The product is made with the same base as BIOSKINCARE plus Salix Nigra (Willow) Extract and Amorphophallus Konjac Root Powder for a more potent keratolytic effect that cleans the excess horny material of the skin by degrading keratin plugs and dissolving debris, damaged, abnormal and necrotic tissues. It decongests the skin as the enzymes in the snail serum and the natural salicylic acid in willow bark extract help to ‘digest’ all damaged structures into their amino-acid and other components, which also favors the regeneration of all the structural components of healthy skin.

It leaves your skin smooth, refreshed, soft and with use over a period of time it takes away keratosis pilaris, actinic keratosis scales, controls acne and reduces and even vanishes all types of skin blemishes: razor nicks and burns, roughness, blisters, scrapes, cuts, and the list can go on and on…
