what could this rash be on my 8yo DD's face?

My 8yo DD has a slightly bumpy, rough to the touch, rash on both her cheeks. There are several slightly raised bumps. It's not hugely noticeable and seems to get worse when she's been outdoors. She says it doesn't itch or bother her in anyway. It feels very dry to me.

She's actually had it a little while. I thought it was a reaction to the cold/central heating, but I'm wondering whether that's the case. Does anyone else's DCs have any experience of this kind of thing, and any suggestions for products that might calm it?

My son gets a similar thing. I got epiderm from the pharmacy which clears it right up. It's stocked at Tesco pharmacy. White pot, green writing.

Thank you namechangeymcnamechange11 . After I quick google I'm wondering whether it is keratosis pilaris, which seems to be very difficult to treat. But I will try the cream you suggest.
