Springtime brings added stress for those of us suffering from one a very common, harmless skin condition: keratosis pilaris, or 'chicken skin'. We may have been able to hide it under thick woolly layers during the winter months, but all this sunshine we're seeing means it's time to get shorter sleeve lengths out.

The skin issue causes small, rough, painless bumps, usually on the arms, thighs, or bum, and occurs when keratin builds up and plugs hair follicles, frequently appearing as skin-colored, red, or brown spots. It's often genetic and affects children and adults alike. Though worse in winter, many of us will still be suffering this season thanks to the fluctuating temperatures.

Enter, Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion. Usually priced at 36 for a supersize 500ml tub to last you months, you can now shop it for 27 a near 10 saving.

Infused with sweet almond oil to nourish the skin and powered by a LaH6 skin hydration complex that includes lactic acid and urea to transform dry, rough patches, it promises to leave the skin feeling velvety-soft and looking beautifully radiant in as little time as 12 hours. In fact, in consumer tests on 77 people, 87% of people agreed their skin felt softer and smoother within the month.

One happy shopper on Lookfantastic pens of Ameliorate's Transforming Body Lotion: "I bought this around 1 month ago, I have always 'suffered' from little bumps/ ingrown hairs etc on the back of my calves, thighs and butt, this reduced majorly in a few weeks! I didnt use everyday like it said so if i did im sure it would work even better! Highly recommend if you get the same."

Another adds: "Sinks into skin amazingly and turns into a light product. Skin feels so smooth and soft but not as though has thick layer of cream on. Its amazing!" with a third writing: "Only been using for 3 weeks but all ready my skin is really soft and looks Moore hydrated, definitely will purchase again its the best cream I've found in a long time even better than some really expensive creams."

A fourth notes: "Ive used Ameliorate transforming body cream for five years plus now. Only cream that actually makes a visible difference to my skin. Excellent for upper arms."

While most of the reviews are as glowing as the results on bumpy skin, a few do note some niggles, mainly due to a new scent. One says: "I'm sad to say the new formula scent makes me want to stop using it".

Another option for bumpy skin is CeraVe's SA Smoothing Cream Pot with Salicylic Acid, now 18. It contains salicylic acid & 10% urea, to ensure the rough skin is reduced while the skin barrier remains happy and hydrated at the same time. With over 1,000 5-star reviews on Boots, it's also a shopper favourite.
