Many of us have noticed those tiny dark spots that appear on our arms or legs after a shave or a wax. These pink bumps, commonly known as strawberry skin or chicken skin, are clogged pores or hair follicles, often caused by trapped oil, bacteria or dead skin cells. While the condition is completely harmless, some may find it a bit tricky to deal with. The great news, however? It’s possible to reduce and prevent it with the right bodycare products—think, ones that come packed with salicylic or lactic acids.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up five body lotions that you can add to your everyday routine to achieve clear, smooth skin.
This multitasking lotion combines chemical exfoliation, hydration and brightening. With 10% AHAs (glycolic and lactic acid) and 1% salicylic acid, it helps with everything from rough skin to acne and pigmentation. Niacinamide soothes and supports your skin barrier. Despite the active ingredients, it’s fragrance-free, lightweight and absorbs easily with no greasy feel. Use on areas prone to texture, dullness or breakouts—like your back, shoulders or legs. Works best post-shower or before bed, giving your skin time to renew overnight.
