You need: the ol' buff-and-slough

One of the most dreaded winter-skin conditions? Keratosis pilaris, otherwise known as that red, bumpy skin that can occur on the backs of your arms. "The best option for treating keratosis pilaris is a regimen that removes excess surface cells, keeping the follicles clear," Dr. Linder says. In addition to using a salicylic acid soap, she recommends a gentle exfoliating lotion — preferably one with lactic acid, which is safe for sensitive skin.
