Beauty fan Hannah English shares how she got rid of back breakouts, ingrown hair and ‘chicken skin’ 

A beauty devotee has shared the $25 buy that finally got rid of her breakouts, ingrown hairs and ‘chicken skin’ on her body, after years of battling with dry and problem skin.

Hannah English, from Sydney, said she has for years struggled with uneven skin on her back, the backs of her arms and her legs.

It wasn’t until she discovered a glycolic scrub by the popular Aussie beauty company Frank Body that Hannah has managed to achieve the smooth, silky skin she always wanted.

Hannah wrote on Instagram: ‘Do you get breakouts, ingrown hairs or the chicken skin bumps on the backs of your arms?

‘I get all of them, I’m blessed, I know, but lucky for me they can all be sorted by helping my skin out with the shedding of dead cells.’ 

Keratosis pilaris (commonly called chicken skin) happens when hair follicles become plugged up with dead skin cells, causing bumps. 

It’s a common skin condition that causes patches of rough-feeling bumps to appear on the skin. 

These tiny bumps or pimples are actually dead skin cells plugging hair follicles.

Hannah said to finally get rid of her bumps, she discovered Frank Body’s $25 Glycolic Body Scrub. 

‘The glycolic acid helps to unglue those dead skin cells before they form their inconvenient little plugs, while the niacinimide helps strengthen the skin and refine pores for future prevention,’ she said.

Hannah added: ‘It has sold out five times because it works and it will sell out again, so go! Get it now!’

According to product information online, the reason why the body scrub works so well is down to the combination of ingredients. 

Glycolic and lactic acids (both AHAs) get rid of the top layer of skin cells, including impurities, pollution and congestion, while the inclusion of witch hazel serves as a ‘natural antiseptic that banishes bacteria, while soothing redness and inflammation’.

Finally, niacinimide helps to ‘balance the skin and prevent premature signs of ageing’.

Frank Body recommend you use the product in the shower two or three times a week, and leave it on for one minute to work its magic before removing

They promise that after a single shower, your skin will ‘immediately look and feel smoother, softer and more even’ with smaller pores and fewer dry patches.

Meanwhile, with continued regular use, you’ll see ‘fewer body bumps, less redness, improved skin tone and smoother texture’.

Hundreds who saw Hannah’s video were quick to thank her for sharing:

‘Omg, I need this for my back,’ one commenter wrote.

‘I am picking this up immediately to use on my chicken skin,’ another added.
