#JenniferMyers #kp #lacticacid - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
![CAMPปลิ้น | EP.76[2/2] เดินมาสิบกว่าป่า วันนี้รู้แล้วว่าโจโฉกลัวอะไร!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/R7Yor-t2Au0/mqdefault.jpg)
I had also tried Adapalene Gel 0.1% (Differin) for treatment of my KP for a duration of about 5 weeks; not long enough, in my opinion, to say whether it did or didn’t have any effect (the only thing I experienced in that short time were the side effects of redness & irritation). Being that I was 19 at the time and Differin was available by prescription only, I elected to stop using it for my KP as I didn’t want to apply prescription topical Vitamin A on such large areas of my body on a continual basis. Following a month-long “rest” thereafter (to let my irritated arm skin calm down from the Differin), I began using AmLactin lotion; and it’s what I’ve used ever since. I’m speaking about AmLactin because it is the primary product responsible for eradicating my rough & bumpy texture and, more importantly, maintaining my smooth skin all these years. I highly recommend lactic acid if you struggle at all with roughness and/or excessively dry or cracked skin anywhere on your body. This product effectively exfoliates, brightens & hydrates the skin; and evens tone, too. Lactic acid is gentler compared to glycolic acid; that’s also why I prefer it (less potential for irritation and therefore safer for sensitive/reactive skin).
Absolutely love this product, but the smell is very unpleasant.
You always give precious information, have a smart and honest personality, and the way you speak is relaxing. Thank you!
hi, I have retinA but its a few years old, when does it expire?
I love your videos! I am wanting to moisturize my skin in the best way possible to prevent any sagging skin during my weight loss journey. What would be your opinion on differin for the upper thighs and any areas of concern for preventing loose skin? I would cover with a moisturizer of coarse. I just really don’t want to have to make a derm appointment to ask this one question. I would appreciate any insight you may have. Thank you for your time.
hoe many times do you use I in a week
Hi, Jenn. Always love seeing you. I've resolved my KP (and a myriad of other textural skin issues - and achieved general bodily softness) by buying 50% pure glycolic acid online, putting it in a glass dropper bottle and just putting some in each squirt of whatever body lotion I'm using. That way, I can always adapt it to my needs and it's extraordinarily cheap and long-lasting.
Which brands do you use?
@@briannab4770 i don't like puting lotions on my body because i'm so oily but i have kp can i mix the glycolic acid peel in my shower gel idk if the acid will be active and will still work
@@silavie1378 - Heya. I totally get it. I hate feeling greasy. Honestly, you could mix it with anything. It would work in shower gel, but the effect wouldn't be quite as pronounced because you're rising it right off.
Something I might recommend is perhaps buying a cheap hyaluronic acid or a hyaluronic acid gel in order to help spread the acid without the greasy, occlusive agents in a moisturizer. I have used a hyaluronic acid gel and it is not oily at ALL.
Or you could try diluting the acid and just applying it neat to your body, obviously experimenting with what strength works for you. You may want to do a higher concentration a couple times a week, a lower concentration every day, y'know, whatever works for you.
You could even try doing a high strength of pure glycolic acid on the body and rinse off after a few minutes, like a mini peel (The Ordinary's 30% glycolic acid peel is massively popular and I use it on my face once a week for 10-15 minutes).
The body can withstand more rigorous exfoliation than the face as the skin is thicker and less sensitive.
Hope I didn't overwhelm you, I just want to give you options so you can find what works for you.
I was not aware that 50% glycolic acid concoctions were available for purchase 🤔 thank you!
@@xxEmmeline.Laurier - Oh, you'd be surprised! I've seen up to 100% pure acid!
Omg, I was binging your videos, changing my life and all that, and you updated.
Love how you explain things in detail 🥰 such a genuine soul
You are easily one of my favorite people on youtube
Hi from France ! You made me discover Amlactin and I live it, no more dry skin, no more flaky legs, my skin is So smooth now, thank you very much
Awe i like that you acknowledged that its not an inherent problem.
Thank you, Jennifer. I wonder how you handle exposure in the summer, as for swimming in the pool and the sea or sunbathing. Maybe you have tips regarding things to be extra wary of in the summer? Your videos are interesting and relaxing to watch. I check my sources and do research, but I trust you a lot with the information and experiences you share with us. Thank you for being such a calm, reliable and helping person.
I’ve been using the Amlactin rapid relief lotion for about a month or so now and I’m seeing some improvements already! My skin feels much smoother overall and slowly but surely the bumps are going down. Thank you for sharing!
Do you notice the product has any (maple?) syrup like odor? I read multiple reviews speaking about this. If it has an odor, does it go away? Thank you.
Pheww I’ve had KP all my life~ will be trying out these tips!! Ty 💗
Hi Jen so happy to see a video from you my daughter is experiencing this on her arms she’s a swimmer so I hope this won’t be to strong a treatment because of being in the chlorine everyday but will proceed cautiously so thank you for this tip you look absolutely gorgeous in this video God Bless you can you do a video on wear you shop for clothes jewelry etc much love sent you way
The way you explain things is just sooo great and soooo helpful 🌸
Happy to help!
Thank you so much! This video is actually very useful for me 😅 I’ve always had a really severe case of keratosis pilaris, since a very young age. For me, one of my purposes in life has been to find some ways to manage my KP at least by a little bit.
Did anything help you out? Please share
Thanks so much for this video! I am definitely going to try these products. I have always had skin problems, but in my later years the KP has definitely gotten worse.
Absolutely love your content! Motivates me to develop healthy and beneficial habits 💝
Thank you for being so informative in all of your videos, I learned so muchhhh more from you and my mindset on skincare has changed literally. Can you please do a body skincare routine? And what do you do to ur skin in the shower do u exfoliate, shave or anything else. I still don’t know what I should do with the skin on my body.
thanks for the video jen❤️ very informative as always and you are glowing hun❤️
I am so so glad I found your channel! You are amazing and thank you so much for your videos! They are extremely appreciated and inspiring. I have so much in common!
Get so happy to see a video from you. Thanks for the info. Love it when you share anything you use.
You are so welcome.
We love you Jennifer ❤️
You're more like my big sis, every piece of information came from you helped me alot,,, I've been watching you since past 2 year,,, I was a silent viewer 😅 but really enjoy you watching moreover listening to you😍,,,,
Thank you for existing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
With lots of love🥰
There is so more I want to express, however it'll end up as a paragraph 😅
But yeah the value you bring to my life, it's beyond that I can express through words
🤗
Love u always whatever topic u present cause of ur intelligence, so addicting to listen
I never comment, but I have that too, only on the backs of my arms, since my early 20’s😭 I am excited to see what you have to say , I added sardines bc of you a few months ago, then I started taking beef liver bc of you just last month-this one, idk why but I can tell!)(tret bc of you and a bunch of research, it’s been almost 2 yrs ) (I just turned 35 ) I also started the castor oil, and I just happened to get the same brand you left a review on-purely by accident , but i felt safe with the brand when I saw your review. That one is a slow process, it’s been 6m-1yr, but I keep up with it. (On my eyelashes of course) 😃. Idk what it is about you, but I trust your wholesome advice. I have also included bone broth(tho I’m still working towards being consistent) Now that I’m thinking of it. I’m actually super proud that I’ve managed to start, and keep so many good habits!! I thank you so much!!! Oh ok! So my dr gave me a 12% lactate lotion, and it has improved some from how it used to be, but Based on what you have said, I am on the right track. I just have not been diligent enough, and I don’t use exfoliate gloves or lock it in with a moisturizer. I am going to add that, and see if I can’t get the rest of the way. I didn’t know it could be applied all over body either, but I will grab the amlactin for the rest of my body. (I just want to include, I have had 4 boys, and I live in a isolated area. Figuring out sound information through limited in person access, and the myriad of ideas on the internet has been a challenge over the years, and that is why I am so grateful for you sharing. I know you give very down to earth sound advice. I just want you to know that your channel has impacted my quality of life, which in turn impacts my family’s. Thank you Again.❤️
Thanks Jennifer for sharing this tip. Will have to try. Take care.
Hard work and dedication pays off, I think you are incredibly beautiful 😊
Thanks for this video, really helpful. Will give this a go! xx
Thank your sharing your story and sharing these products, I was looking for exfoliants for my dark spots that appear out of nowehere in my body. I refuse to use potent regular bleaching products so I will try AmLactin brand, looks like better option for my situation. Thank you again, your skin looks great by way! I hope my skin can become shiny as well!
Love this! I have had KP since I was a child, my doctor used to say it would subside with age and while it did on my face, I still have on on my thighs, buttocks and arms. I will give the blue one a try right away!
It does subside often on its own. Mine never did, unfortunately (I did not "grow out of it"), so I decided to take targeted treatment measures as it was not only bumpy and rough but also red. I used to have it on my cheeks, too; and that did go away as I grew older.
I've been using CeraVe SA cream...it's awesome 🙌
How did it go? Did it help?
How to get rid of the hyper pigmentation left by KP scars? Cos my skin is now smooth but the the KP red scars are there.
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for your video, will try this.
Honestly one of the few non melanated women I see holding onto thier beauty organically past 40. U look AMAZING.
Excellent info! Can’t thank you enough for sharing. Major tip for me was allowing enough time to see results. I usually only give a couple of weeks to see if a product will be effective. Question- I don’t shower every day. Only every other day. Do you think not showering daily will impact this routine? Could I just use the lotion daily?
Hi Jenn😋 Thank you for sharing💕 Did you experience any clothing decoloration for using the lactic acid ?
Can you do another what I eat in a day? You’ve inspired me to eat healthier!
Hi jennifer, love ur informative vidoes as usual.. love from thailand ❤️
Do use it am and pm both? Or once a day… ?
Do u use the scrubbing gloves every day? And which body suncreen do u in ur opinion think is good ?
Thank you for this! Heading out to get salad ingredients tonight inspired by you! ✨
You are so beautiful both inside and out💗. I live in Australia and I'm so amazed how people living poles apart are so similar.. You personality is very similar to mine😊
Hi Jennifer! 😊 Thanks for this, your videos are always super helpful. Do you slather Amlactin on while your skin is still damp or do you wait for your skin to dry first?
Amlactin rapid relief 15% lotion is also great for nightly use on face if you can’t tolerate retinoids, at least for me. It exfoliates and brightens like no other!
Can you let me know how long have you been using it? Thank you
@@hoangthai3974 I was using it for almost a year, it works but I’m using niacinamide now, I can’t stick to a routine for long
Always feel that she's looking directly into the soul. Powerful stare
Hi Jennifer! Love your advice on skincare and I wanted to know if you perform any type of massage on your face for anti aging
U are so honest girl thank u❤️❤️I'm your new subscriber😘
You’re the most interesting person - I’ve ever listened too. I love the words you used often. Does your family talk this way as well? Just curious. Have you ever thought to get into skin chemistry? Love your videos! I was curious as much as you’re organized with your Skin, body and mind. Is your home organized just the same?
Thank you 🙏🏿 Jennifer great video good luck 👍
Best of luck to you!
You are so beautiful!! You said 20 years ago you started to treat keratosis but you actually look like you are still in your 20's. Thank you for sharing! :)
I’m the same way regarding full force on everything, it’s gotten better as I have gotten older and am actively trying to do better.
Lol me too
I love your videos, thank you for your work and input!
Thanks for watching.
thank you, this video helped me so much!
Thanks for sharing this. I use ammonium lactate.
I appreciate you !
Thank you Jennifer! You gave me hope in case retinoic acid doesn't work hehe. Hmm.. No wonder Amlactin wasn't effective on me coz I used it for 2weeks and once a day only (tester size). Problem is, these US brands aren't that common in local groceries/malls here. It is sold online but 2x-3x the price. I'll save up for it first and try it again. Until then, I'll continue using my RA 0.025% on my arms and thighs until I finish the tub. I have KP for 30yrs and they say it will diminish in time but in my case it kinda got worse in my late 20s (I started having it on thighs as well). My dad seem to have his gone by 50s. But I dont think I can wait that long haha so I'll definitely try these tips, Jen. Thanks again and have a good day. ❤🤗
I’ll be 43 next month. I’ve had KP since I was 15. It doesn’t go away IME - you just have to exfoliate the area regularly forever with chemical peels. It does take months to completely get rid of it & if you’re not consistent it will come back. Glycolic acid works well for me & doesn’t irritate my dry, sensitive skin.
Cerave has a “rough and bumpy” cream with salicylic acid and lactic acid. It’s very thick and emollient and I slather it on my arms after a lukewarm shower. It’s cheap, simple, and if you’re patient it will work on due time. I also do physical exfoliation once twice a week on the arms with the First Aid Beauty KP scrub. Very important to use a good SPF as well!
You’re absolutely right that time and patience are key. In life there aren’t always quick fixes.
could you please tell me if this has visibly reduced your KP? i know its near impossible for it to completely go away but i'm planning on buying the Cerave SA cream so this would really help :)
@@azuibleu8959 Yes, in some spots it disappeared completely (especially in summer; dry winter it doesn’t totally go away). It goes take a lot of time and consistency but it works!
great advice! what body wash worked for you with those mitts?
I know this is a bit random, but do you use any lip spf products? I’ve been dying to know. Thank you ❤️
How would you recommend starting tretionoin? How many times a week, and for how long? How to step it up and what percentage to use. Is necessary to use 0,1% or is 0.05% enough? I have been trying to acclimate my skin to 0.1% for so long, and it never does. You had a great video about the mistakes you made in the beginning when starting retin a, but not what you would have done instead. Would love to get your input. And do you use tretinoin during summer?
Thank you.
Thank you for this!
Hello Jennifer, thankyou for the calming video. Just a petite question, do you eat pork or chicken or any other meat besides beef/red meat?
Hi Jennifer, thank you for sharing all your skin care knowledge with us, was wondering if the parabens in the exfoliating lotion is safe to use? Thank you!
I don't actively avoid parabens. Everyone's comfort level is different. Although parabens do penetrate the stratum corneum, metabolism of parabens takes place within viable skin, which is likely to result in only 1% unmetabolized parabens available for absorption into the body. All this to say, I don't go out of my way to avoid them, and I don't fear them in my products, either.
@@JenniferMyers thank you! 🖤
I just purchased the rapid one and can't wait to continue to use, the smell is a bit strange and it feels a bit tacky and sticky on the skin, but if it will help with my skin I do not kind. Thank you sooo very much for sharing this info ❤️🙏
Would you say the smell is like maple syrup? I haven’t purchased it yet but that’s what I’ve read in reviews. Not sure how my nose would handle that. I got my derm to prescribe a version of it that has no odor but would like to buy off shelf if I could get past the odor.
Greetings JM hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀n what a Wonderful Vlog…. thanks n This is Gonna B so Educational🔥👍n Continued Blessings💜….
Thank you! You too-blessings
Hi Jennifer, can I or would you recommend using this even if the skin is not freshly washed? Or is best if used on cleansed arms and neck?. Thank you!!
Do you have a recommendation on body sunscreen? Thank you.
Love the amlactin products! Thank you for confirming a product that works for many people. I used to use the prescription 12% lactic acid cream. Now i’m using the 15% blue bottle Amlactin. My buttocks skin is like a babies 😄.
Hi does it help get rid of bumpy skin and spots and uneven skin tone of butts?
It totally does!!
My butt is smooth like glass (tmi? I don't care, lol).
@@JenniferMyers your tmi made me laugh.
@@JenniferMyers 😂💜
Can you talk about your way in removing body hair 🙏🏿💜
hi dear you are so beautiful, what's you use for your skin glow❤
You are stunning and astonishingly young for your age. I tried Retin A a long time ago. My skin was so sensitive to light. Even indoor light would make my skin darker. I used good sunscreen, but I still got lots of color on my face. Does the hyper sensitivity to light diminish as time goes on? I figured the drawbacks of getting sun damage wasn’t worth the benefits of Retin A. I’m religious about sunscreen and I do my research about the best sunscreens.
No the hypersensitivity is permanent (while using tret) because the skin is thinner & newer. I don’t use sunblock or sunscreen. I just avoid the sun on my skin except early & late in the day.
Hi @jennifer myers
Can you please do a video on the topic of Discipline.
You seem very disciplined. Most of us struggle with discipline when it comes to diet or any goals we have really.
Its a topic not discussed enough on TH-cam but so needed.
Look up the Jocko Podcast and TH-cam channel. He talks a lot
about discipline among other things and also has a book.
Hi Jen, do you sleep on your back? And if so do you use any special type of pillow? Thanks
Amlactin works great for KP, but it smells weird. Does the weird smell go away quickly after application? I enjoy all of your skin videos. I keep thinking, "How many more do I need to watch? I got the gist!" but I always keep coming back for more inspiration.
your teeth look wonderful, would be interesting to hear about your daily and yearly routine 😊
When you say it resolved your KP do you mean the bumps AND redness/hyperpigmentation ? Or just the bumps? I find that acids or physical exfoliation clears up the bumps but not the discolored dots often associated with KP
Your guidance changed my personality completely..thank you ...
Wonderful for you! I appreciate you sharing that.
I saw a review on Amazon that said they use silicon oil, and that can increase epidermis thickness
Thank you Jennifer, what sun screen do you use? 💓
I like the Cetaphil ones (all that I've tried). The SPF 35 moisturizer and SPF 50 liquid one I really like. I also enjoy the Neutrogena Healthy Defense 50 and the Olay daily for sensitive skin (fragrance free) SPF 30.
Hi jen! Ameliorate transforming body lotion as suggested by dr Sam bunting worked wonders for me just in a month I could make out so much difference
What sunscreen do you recommend? I would like to find a natural one, if possible.
Thank you, Jennifer :)
Thank you for the informative video! Sorry if this is a silly question, but do you use the exfoliating gloves in the shower only? Or do you use it when applying the AmLactin too? I have bad KP on my upper arms and shoulders, and I'm excited to start using AmLactin.
Did this help your KP? I have the same
Unfortunately no. I used a full bottle of the Amlactin 15% twice daily, and I didn't see any reduction in the bumps. My skin was smooth, the discolored bumps were all the same. @@rodgerpeoria3040
Do you use a specific body wash in shower that helped or is it just this lotion that worked the best?
Hello Jennifer, Thank you this is very informative. Do you use SPF on your arms in the daytime? Also why do use an SPF 50 and an SPF 30 on your face does this protect your skin better by combining them vs just using only an SPF 50. I appreciate you and all your videos, they’ve helped me in so many ways. Have a wonderful day.
I use SPF as an everyday habit. The layering of my facial sunscreens is done purely for aesthetic/vanity reasons (I find my face looks more "polished" and "done" with a tinted moisturizer on).
@@JenniferMyers Thank you Jennifer, I appreciate your response and for answering my question. Good to know, I will try it out.
@@JenniferMyers what sunscreen do u use for ur body? i’d love to know!
Avoid standing under the hot water for the entire duration of your shower.
The hot water strikes directly on your shoulders, back, and upper arms .. depending on your height. Exposing your upper body to constant stream of hot water for 10-20 mins a day can really dry out your skin and cause problems. Keep in mind your limbs are drier than your torso.
Thank you for this video! What sunscreen do you recommend?
I like the Cetaphil ones (all that I've tried). The SPF 35 moisturizer and SPF 50 liquid one I really like. I also enjoy the Neutrogena Healthy Defense 50 and the Olay daily for sensitive skin (fragrance free) SPF 30.
@@JenniferMyers what kind of sunscreen do you use on your body?
Thank you! 😊
Omg yesss I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my Kp… so thank you for this! Are you mixed race by any chance? I am so I’m wondering if it’s a halfie thing since i haven’t heard of many others with this problem 😅
Really? That’s interesting, I’m half Too. Lol half Cuban/and half white ie German & scotch Irish. I have been embarrassed of my KP since it started in my early 20’s.
No, this is not a “ half” thing. I know plenty of people that have KP, I have it also. It is pretty common
Do you put filter and make up in your videos Jen?
Do you have any facial glycolic products you recommend?
I had looked in to this for KP but read numerous reviews that it smells like (maple?) syrup which some say doesn’t dissipate. Do you notice it has an odor and if so, was it something that you got used to? I ended up getting my derm to call in a prescription cream but I would consider this to soften skin if it didn’t smell like syrup. I have a pretty sensitive nose. Hope to hear from you. Have a beautiful day!
Do you use any face packs Jennifer ???
Hey Jen what about using tretinoin for KP or kprf though??
How would you compare AmLactin body lotion to Eucerine Advanced Repair lotion?
hey jenn i had a question i am using tret 0.05 since 2 weeks but my skin is only purging and not peeling so is it working?
What about dark lines on the neck? Would this routine help target that as well?
Hi what body wash did you use? And did use amlactin then apply the vaseline and how often did you apply it?
Hi Jennifer, I have one question if you are comfortable sharing. What do you do for a living?
Do you still use amlactin during summer or do you take a break from it?
And why don’t you use tretinoin during the summer months? I’m not sure if I should use tretinoin during summer because it’s very sunny where I live…
Hi! Can't find sunscreen that's affordable and not full of chemicals. I've even seen that sun "protection" with chemical filters WORSEN skin aging? And what about vit D? If you have sunscreen on your whole body, when will you ever get enough bit D (and other good things that the sun also provides)? I live close to the Arctic Circle and we don't even have sun for about 6 months and the rest of the year is not much either. Must I still cover myself in sunscreen all year round? I don't know if there's maybe UVA coming through the windows in the winter? I try to get some amount of sun in the summer bcs it's important to health, but I hardly get any. In the summer, I usually only use in the face but I haven't really found a sunscreen that I like yet and that don't cost an arm and a leg. Plus that isn't full of chemicals...🤪 Tips please....🌺
Thank you ❤
Hi Jennifer, I just came across a video where your picture is used . I mistakenly clicked it assuming it was you but turned out to be someone else. Thought of letting you know about it.
Mam please share skincare for fungal acne
Hey, i have a question. Where do you get your retinol from?
Sun scree: HATOMUGI spf 50 at Stylvana.
i chose to not use my adapalene gel and am very vary of how much i use my bha exfoliant in the summer months because it is just too hard for me to stay covered all of the time, i use the products much more in colder months
Love your voice and cadance
