3. Cause: Keratosis Pilaris and Dry Skin

Keratosis pilaris is a skin condition that causes small bumps on the skin consisting of dead skin cells and with a rough exterior. Dry skin is more prone to keratosis pilaris and irritation from shaving. Existing comedones and other skin blemishes or irritation become more noticeable if the skin is too dry. Dry-brushing in circular motions is one way to remove dry skin and dead skin cells.
