It isn’t often that I come across a product that is so amazing, and wonderful, that I feel the need to go on and on about it. However, that is the case with Burt’s Bees Carrot Nutritive Lotion. First, I’ll give you a little back story…
I have had Keratosis Pilaris for literally, as long as I remember. It is also known as “chicken skin”, but is nothing more than bumps on the skin, which usually occur on the upper arms. It isn’t very noticeable, but it is frustrating, as it manifests itself kind of like acne on your arms. Also, it prevents your skin from being soft and smooth, and is generally, very frustrating. I was worried that it would be an issue when I decided to get tattooed on my arm, but luckily, it isn’t (that would have really upset me). The condition itself is extremely common, and lucky for me, I fall into the category of those that have it.
Now, I have tried pretty much all kinds of lotions and a lot of things short of a prescribed treatment (which friends of mine have tried with little success), and I was sure that I would never be able to have smooth skin on my upper arms. It doesn’t REALLY bother me, but it is just one more frustration iron on my fire, you know? Well, recently, I bought a bottle of the Burt’s Bees Carrot Nutritive Lotion, only because I loved the way it smelled (it smells like carrot cake!). Much to my surprise, after using it for a week or so, I noticed a DRASTIC improvement in my keratosis pilaris! It isn’t totally gone, but the skin is definitely way smoother, and the condition has noticeably diminished. I wasn’t even looking for another possible treatment, but it seems that I stumbled on to it in this great product from Burt’s Bees! As such, I thought I would do an official product endorsement from me to you, because if you have dealt with the frustration that KP has brought me, then you should get yourself a bottle today.
I have loved Burt’s Bees’ other products for a while now, and I absolutely love that they are almost 100% natural, so it really makes me happy that this product came from them. Even if you don’t have KP, this lotion is really great on dry skin, and as I mentioned, it smells almost good enough to eat! I hate that perfume-y smell that a lot of lotions have, so the carrot cake-like deliciousness of this lotion is a welcome change.
Thanks for making such a great product, Burt’s Bees. People with keratosis pilaris take note; there isn’t a cure, but Burt’s Bees Carrot Nutritive Lotion will definitely impact the noticeability of your condition! It works great for me! I give this lotion and enthusiastic thumbs up (see, like in the picture!), and the duanemoody.com seal of approval!!!
So….do I get to call you Cher or Dionne Warwick now?
Where did you get it?
Are you “bumps” flesh colored little pimples? I might have some too.
Bugboy, it looks like it does on that website I linked to. You can get it at pretty much any store that sells Burt’s Bees. You can find a place on their website. Note: I got it at Kroger, because I couldn’t find it at Target.
I love their lip balm and have it in my bag (manpurse!) and at home.
You are such a cutie in that pic!
xo: thanks! I love the lip balm too!
Ok…I bought your Burt’s Bees potion today. Will see how it goes. I also got some kind of eye cream and night cream that promised to make me pretty.
I’ll let you know how goes it.
Oh, how many times a day do you use your bee potion? It does smell like carrot cake, plus a little powdery-smelling too.
Bugboy, just once, in the morning as a part of my post-shower routine. Enjoy!
I also got the face cream and eye cream with royal jelly (the super powerful/nutritional stuff the workers feed the queen bee). I hope it’s just a coincidence that a bee strafed me flew into my hair this morning.
Hey Duane, I have the same problem and haven’t found anything that works including med. lotion from the dr. I will definitely try this. i also saw an add for this new stuff from “Derma Doctor” for the same problem. It’s called KP duty… have you tried that? i’m going to give both a try! thanks!
hey
i had that on my arms for yrs, i realised its due to some vitamin deficiancy, i now take daily multi-vitamins and omega 369 tablets and hey presto its gone.
when i stop taking them in few days - a wk it comes back and then whn start taking vitamins etc it goes away again
you shld try xx
Congratulations on finding something that works. I know a lot of things only work for certain people. It really is an odd condition. You kind of have to experiment with different products and find out what works for you (like Paul and his vitamins). I give a lot of information on Keratosis Pilaris at my website (click my name) for those of you interested. Let me know if you find anything else that helps you.
