The skin on your body and scalp is very different than the skin on your face. It's almost all thicker and often hairier! For this reason, you need different products to use on your non-facial skin as compared to your face.
What are some of the most common skin problems on the body that you can fix with creams and lotions?
- Keratosis pilaris
- Sun spots and age barnacles (seborrheic keratosis)
- Dry skin and eczema
- Sensitive skin
- Crepey skin
- Itching on the back or forearm called notalgia paresthetica or brachioradial pruritus
- Rashes
- Psoriasis
- Acne
- and many other conditions
Whatever your skin problem, I have information on each product page below to help you get results.
Body skin care products often need to be stronger than facial products to achieve results
Cleanse, Correct, Hydrate, and Protect Skincare Routine™ is your way to insanely touchable skin - it's possible!
Yes, thick expanses of body skin are tricky to treat when it comes to skin problems like acne and medicated cleansers are one of the best treatment solutions. Medical-grade body skin care makes all the difference! Fighting age spots and barnacles present a similar challenge and I've figured it out the best way to do it!
I began using the Ultra-Fast Body Smoothing Triple Action Kit 3 weeks ago on my keratosis (barnacles!) and I am shocked how effective this is. I have tried everything out there with no luck of even slightest change or healing. I love your product and want to say Thank you. Ellen
Arm, hand and leg skin are often the first to show dryness as you age. Hair can make lotions and creams feel unpleasant so powerful ingredients in fast absorbing and easy to spread products work best. The same considerations apply to sunscreens - especially for the scalp.
I’m using your Spray sunscreen and I love it. It is easy to apply and stays on. Even when I’m fishing and in exposure that includes reflection of UV off water I don’t get burned. I keep some in my boat to reapply when I’m fishing. Carl
I have patient-proven products to take care of your body, leg, arm and scalp skin.
Three important things to know about body and scalp cleansers:
1. Many body and scalp cleansers contain unnecessary allergens that can create a lifetime of allergic skin reactions.
The classic example is fragrance ingredients, which are potent allergens. Artificial fragrance can even contain hormone disrupting phthalates. Even natural fragrance ingredients such as botanical essences can be allergens, especially at high concentrations.

I recommend hypoallergenic body care cleansers that clean skin without exposing it to unnecessary allergens for you and your entire family. How you CLEANSE your body and scalp skin is the important first step in your body and scalp skin care routine.
2. Soaps and cleansers can over-dry some areas of your skin, especially arms, legs and hands.
Pick a product that gets you clean but not so clean that you've stripped precious body oils to create dry skin.

3. Body and scalp cleansers can offer an efficient multi-tasking step to begin correcting skin problems such as dandruff, acne, age spots and flakey skin.
You can do more than cleanse your skin in the shower! Consider adding:
- an exfoliating shower cloth or exfoliating body wash to your body cleansing and brighten, soften and polish your skin,
- a scalp scrubber to lather shampoo, bringing it to scalp skin where it removes sebum and dandruff scale,
- a medicated cleanser to treat acne or seborrhea on the body.
I offer only hypoallergenic body and scalp cleansers free of phthalates. Even the few products with fragrance contain only hypoallergenic fragrance or natural essences below the threshold likely to create skin allergy. - Dr. B
I'm picky about cleansing products because I know it's important!
Each area of the body has unique problems too:
- The most common skin problems on the upper body are body acne, Pityrosporum folliculitis, body seborrhea and age spots.
- Upper arms, back and buttocks are sites for keratosis pilaris.
- Forearm, hand and leg skin suffer from aging, sun damage and dryness.
- Scalp skin suffers from seborrhea (dandruff), sun damage and age spots.
Each of these problems require special products and treatments compared to their facial counterparts.
