Why is the skin on my face so rough
Dr. Oz: How Can I Help My Rough and Bumpy Skin?
[Music]
help you with harmless but stubborn and
annoying condition of rough and bumpy
skin whether you refer to it as chicken
skin or sandpaper skin this condition
can affect your confidence a lot of you
been complaining about it so I brought
in board-certified dermatologist dr.
Elizabeth tansy who is here on behalf of
my trusted sponsor partner new syringe
to help us out how people understand
what causes this rough and bumpy skin so
dr. oz rough and bumpy scheme can be
very stubborn and very annoying for a
lot of people but it can be treated
so sometimes rough and bumpy skin is
caused just by dry skin but other times
it's caused by a buildup of a protein
called keratin right at the hair
follicle so a tip to try to treat the
condition is to gently exfoliate to
improve the look of the bumps but then
moisturize the skin to alleviate some
dryness now here's the key you want to
look for something called urea urea is a
natural component in the skin and it has
the ability to do both it can find and
hold on to water to moisturize the skin
as well as gently and naturally
exfoliate it at the same time so since
you were asking about it I made a little
demonstration paper but it's danced on
over here I bought the version of rough
and bumpy skin to show you how it can be
treated would you get this you'll never
forget it again so this is your rough
and bumpy skin all right and used to be
clear the keratin that contains just
broke off closes over these old hair
follicles so it causes these little
bumps so what you need to do is to take
the right kind of cream then when you
put it on the skin will ease these areas
a bumpiness
and experts say this is why urea works
on the skin right so it's both
exfoliates allowing the hair follicles
open but it also moisturizes so you end
up with skin that sort of looks like
this I mean I hope you can all
appreciate this there's a pretty
significant difference that occurs so
what are you resting oh sorry it does
both at the same time I do it right you
did it right like an impression of
dermatologist it means a lot to me
surgeons are often disdained by
dermatologists so if there's subtlety to
the skin we don't often get cuz we just
cut through the skin usually you
understand how to heal it so where do
you recommend to treat the rough and
bumpy skin to so many folks are
complaining
so for rough and bumpy skin I recommend
a urea enriched formulation because
that's going to not only help support
the skin moisture barrier but it's also
gonna gently exfoliate at the same time
what I like a lot is you sauron's
roughness relief lotion because not only
does it treat the dryness in the
roughness but it's also has a nice light
feel on the skin even though it's
moisturizing all day long so but for
those areas may be a little trouble
spots so specific spots of thicker scaly
skin like elbows knees heels you can use
the roughness relief spot treatment
because that's concentrated it's got
three times the urea as does the lotion
so you can really show some extra
attention on those areas you're a busy
practice how often do you have patients
come to you complaining about rough and
bumpy skin or haven't you even notice it
when they may not picked up on it yet
it's actually really common up to about
40% of adults can have rough and bumpy
40% and 80% of adolescents and sometimes
we see it running in families so dr.
Tyson of joints that Ussuri conducted
this wonderful survey about their newest
innovation for rough and bumpy skin and
we put the data up here but I want you
if you can to walk through it for the
audience that number just gave me 40
percent it blows me away these things
are pretty important as well yeah we see
it a lot in the office and they and you
shouldn't did a survey of a thousand a
thousand people with rough and bumpy
skin and what they found was some very
interesting findings so first off 41
percent of those people that were
surveyed with rough and bumpy skin steer
clear of sleeveless clothing when
they're having their rough and bumpy
skin so it is changing what they're
doing on a day to day basis also we'll
see then this this floored me nearly
half of those patients surveyed with
rough and bumpy skin would actually
sacrifice junk food to eliminate their
condition I mean they hate it so much
they would just stop junk food if they
could how many of you in that group
powerful isn't it I can't get you to
stop eating junk food rough and bumpy
skin will do it's pretty powerful
people will give up junk food but the
bottom line is that a third of those
people that were surveyed with rough and
bumpy skin to feel frustrated and lack
self-confidence and again that's that's
gonna affect their lives on a day to day
basis so it's actually something that we
see in the office and we talk about all
the time so bring it home I want two of
my viewers who have wrought the bumpy
skin doctors test the products out for a
few weeks you're both here thank you
both for being high so families just
start us off she started you again he
shows up this relief lotion and before
you used it by the way I have a picture
of your skin if you don't mind I'm gonna
show us everybody you described but you
felt like actually so there's the
picture which we've all noticed many of
us in the mirror yeah and how did you
feel when your skin looked like this I
was always very insecure about my skin
even growing up as a kid and I went to
go see doctors and they could never
really pay any attention to it they just
kind of dismissed it because it wasn't
life-threatening or contagious so I
would exfoliate but the bumps would just
come back we've tried other types of
creams that would either leave like a
dark film like a chalky film or it would
sting so much my daughter would try the
lotion too and she wouldn't use it
because it would sting so she'd washed
it off so we could never find something
that worked for both of us so you'd be
using the Eucerin rough this relief
lotion yeah how long's user for about
two two and a half weeks and can you
show us a picture of it you got what I
think yes I think you guys have a after
shot before and here's an after
you should rough this really close you
seem to help it did it did for myself
definitely gain more confidence with
showing my arms my daughter two people
would stop her and say what's wrong are
you cold it's hot outside so she would
use it too and she was ok with it
because it didn't sting she wasn't
trying to wash it off and it worked very
well for both of us are you happy with
your arms yes there's so much softer and
people don't stop me asking me if I'm
cold or if something's wrong with me
they don't think it's just much softer
and nicer to touch was it hard to admit
that your mother was right it's hard to
take advice from your mom and doing it
officially where they have a point yeah
you'll get used to it happens more and
more as you get older you'll realize the
wisdom is there it sneaks up on you and
they used you shouldn't up this from
each spot treatment yes that was really
great great for like my feet or my
elbows my forearms or my hands I would
even use it and it was also really good
for like um when I went away for a
weekend instead of taking the big bottle
just take the spot relief is well -
that's okay you have a picture of your
skin as well before you started using
the product here you get its get the
rough and bumpy appearance how did that
affect your confidence um definitely
affected in a negative way
I would always compare myself to other
kids and you know even growing up I've
had it since I was a child to compare
myself to other kids and I would say
what's wrong with me you know and now
you've been using the product a couple
weeks as well right and your skin looks
like this there's a before and after for
everybody at home to look at I mean
how do you feel about that change good
the more I use it the more I see a
difference and I'm gonna keep using it
it helped me don't keep the primary
