5 Expert-Approved To-Dos

to reduce the appearance of 'Chicken Skin'

(i.e. the bumpy, rough texture of the skin) on your upper arms, thighs and legs

Bumpy, rough skin, commonly known as ‘Chicken Skin’, especially on your upper arms and thighs, is not uncommon. But natural, healthy ways of taking care of your skin, and reducing the appearance of that bumpy texture certainly is uncommon.

The use of acids, harsh cleansers and exfoliants is always suggested for these bumps but these end up irritating your skin, worsening its condition and making your skin appear rougher and bumpier than ever.

When it comes to ‘Chicken Skin’, the idea of ‘Gentle yet Effective’ skincare becomes increasingly relevant. Chicken Skin makes your skin more sensitive; it’s not a condition you fix with a bunch of chemicals, even dermatologists suggest mild cleansers and moisturization with clean ingredients!

A good question here would be ‘Why?’. Why does gentle care become so necessary specifically for ‘Chicken Skin’?

A bumpy, rough skin texture is indicative of a compromised skin-barrier function, which makes your skin more sensitive and susceptible to irritation from harsh chemicals & physical abrasion. So, you might feel tempted to try out chemical-laden solutions and acids for ‘Chicken Skin’, you could very easily end up hampering your skin health even more!

Hence the emphasis on ‘Gentle yet Effective’ care!

Well, Ayurveda – the 5000-year-old Science of Life, places a large focus on ‘Gentle yet Effective Care’. If you’ve heard of Ayurveda before, you’ll know that this holistic system of medicine prescribes only natural ways to take care of your skin to make it age better. The reason why gentle care is so important in Ayurveda is because it specifies natural ways to keep your skin looking and feeling youthful and glow-y, and that can only happen if you do not hamper your skin barrier – for which you can’t trust harsh chemicals.

And as stated above, the earliest mentions of Ayurveda in ancient books and texts date back to over 5000 years ago. That means that the Ayurvedic self-care routines and skincare formulations we know today, have been around for literally thousands of years. If the test of time doesn’t prove how effective they are... well, what does?!

So according to Ayurveda, here are 3 proven ways to reduce the appearance of ‘Chicken Skin’:

1. Make sure the ‘WHY’ is correct!

Understand why your skin develops the appearance of ‘Chicken Skin’

A simple google search will tell you that keratin build-up (keratin is a protein for your skin) is what clogs your hair-follicles and makes your skin bumpy. But to truly fix the appearance of ‘Chicken Skin’ you need to understand what causes this keratin build-up in the first place.

The reason behind is simply - Extreme dryness of the skin!

Dryness compromises your skin-barrier, making it difficult for your skin to retain moisture and protect it from dust, grime and dirt. A weakened barrier can lead to the accumulation of dead skin cells, the natural shedding of which gets disrupted when the skin is extremely dry. And when your dead skin cells do not shed, your skin is forced to produce more and more keratin, contributing to the clogging of hair follicles and making way for the appearance of ‘Chicken Skin’.

And after you hit a certain age, your skin’s natural ability to produce oils to protect it from dryness, takes a back seat, making dryness inevitable.

So, what do you do?

You moisturize your skin, but is that enough?

Ayurveda says no!

Moisturizing your skin is super important, especially when you’ve blown your fair share of birthday candles. But what difference would your chemical-filled body moisturizer make? Do you even have targeted body moisturizers? Skincare companies make all kinds of products for the face - serums, moisturizers, creams and what not, but how many products do you see in the market targeted to work on the skin on your body?

Ayurveda, on the other hand, specifies many routines and practices that are made specifically to keep our skin looking clear with no appearances of bumps or any roughness – and what makes Ayurveda so special is that it actually focuses more on the body than it does on the face.

So, Ayurveda does recommend moisturization, but it also helps you...

Go beyond simple moisturization!

Ayurveda recommends enriching, skin-barrier-protecting moisture

‘Chicken Skin’ needs healthy moisture because your clogged hair follicles have made your skin super sensitive.

And Ayurveda’s perfect blends of potent herbs, herbs that are targeted to give the skin on your body a smooth, non-bumpy appearance, make healthy moisture possible.

Let’s learn more about these targeted Ayurvedic ingredients that work on making your skin appear smooth and non-bumpy:

Wild Asparagus

This herb is also called Shatavari in the native tongue, which means 'one who has hundreds of roots', 'who gives hundreds of blessings', or 'who has hundreds of potential benefits'. It is an extremely beneficial herb for women wellness, especially fertility and reproductive health. This herb is also used to calm and soothe the skin and restore its lost radiance.

Sandalwood

This is a pleasant-smelling herb, also called Chandan in the native tongue because of its calming properties, in both smell and feel. It pacifies Kapha and Pitta doshas and takes care of the skin when it becomes too agitated. Sandalwood also has the power to brighten the skin, helping it look at its natural best. It removes the dullness that resides onto the skin due to the outside environment and pollution.

Indian Elecampane or Pushkarmool

‘Pushkar’ means that which nourishes the body. Its leaves look similar to those of Lotus, hence, Pushkarmool is also called ‘Padmapatra’ meaning 'Leaf of a Lotus Plant'. It pacifies the Vata and Kapha Doshas and keeps the skin in the right balance of dryness and oiliness.

Indian Valerian

Also known as Tagar, this is a powerful Ayurvedic herb with restorative properties that can calm and soothe your skin extremely well. The herb also has an effective approach in solving joint discomfort and body concerns that come to notice as we age. Studies have found that Tagar contains a substance called Valerenic acid, which helps one feel relaxed and restful!

Indian Mallow

In Hindi, the herb is known as Atibala, meaning ‘that which gives strength’. It pacifies Vata and Pitta Dosha and solves for skin issues like dryness, by lubricating the body well. It is helpful in rejuvenation of the body as well as the moisturization of the skin.

Cardamom

Cardamom, also known as 'Ela' is a delicious smelling spice and the third most expensive spice in the world! In ancient times, the Greeks and Romans used this spice for natural fragrance as well as therapeutic uses. Apart from its application in perfume, Eastern curries and sweet dishes, Cardamom also benefits the skin by giving it a smooth glow, enhancing its complexion, and removing dullness for a lustrous skin.

All in a light, non-sticky Sesame Oil base.

Did you know that Sesame Oil has an almost perfect linoleic acid and oleic acid balance, which makes this oil a perfect base? Oils high in oleic acid are extra-rich and heavy, oils high in linoleic acid are lighter. This almost-perfect balance of 42% linoleic acid and 40% oleic acid makes sesame oil the ideal choice for an oil that cares for already troubled skin without clogging it or making it sticky. Isn’t it interesting that ancient ayurvedic sages knew this almost 5000 years ago?!

Use Tested Formulations that amalgamate these ingredients the RIGHT way

Ancient scriptures of Ayurveda don’t just specify which herbs to use for specific troubles, but it also prescribes the procedure that needs to be followed to ensure effective delivery of results.

This formulation making process is called ‘Taila-Paak-Vidhi' in Ayurvedic texts.

First, high-quality herbs are sourced, washed and dried.
They’re then converted into powders and pounded into pastes.
Then the paste is cooked into specific base oils for each formula.
The hot oil with herbs cooking in it needs to be stirred constantly and the temperature needs to be maintained consistently to get the oil right.

It really is a tricky process and only experts adept at making Ayurvedic formulations for decades get it right.

THIS accuracy is super important for your skin to show the desired outcome after consistent use of the formulation.

What if we tell you there is this authentically & accurately made Ayurvedic formulation, and it’s been made with the best herbs and ingredients to work on bumpy, rough skin?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I give this TEN STARS. There was a visible and touchable difference from the very first use, and it just keeps getting better! It's really rolled back the clock a few years -- most noticeably on the dry, crepey, crackling skin on my forearms and shins, but every where just feels so deeply hydrated and nourished. And I'm *feeling* better too; more calm and serene. I've tried, and enjoyed, many other Ayurveda's products with varying degrees of success, and I've tried nearly everything on the market... THIS is something I'll never run out of!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Smells delicious

I love this oil. I use while I am still in the shower and my skin is wet. My skin looks plump and moisturized. I've also notice some of the dark spots have lightened and the less dark have disappeared. This one is going on my must have list. I don't use at night though because it does make me feel a little energized.
