strawberry legs/shaving tips
Our take
I grew up only using an epilator and nair. Even then, I just had hairy legs 90% of the time because I didn't care.
As an adult I realized I feel much better with smooth legs (thighs and all). I have fair skin + often appear speckled after shaving. Similar, but different, i have lil blood spot/freckles on my arms and chest as well that isnt a hair issue. My legs are super smooth after shaving, and then a a day or two later are prickly.
Some info on my routines: I shave once a week, sometimes twice a week.
This plus stretch marks and constant bruising, I am so self conscious about my legs. I do use a dry brush twice a week and ocassionally the versed buff it out aha exfoliator. I have to be mindful because i have chronic hives (to the point of needing injections). I also change out the blades of my Billie razor every 10 or so uses and use a shaving oil.
Any advice would be appreciated!

- How To Improve Legs After Shaving / Strawberry LegsThis is what my legs look like but how do I fix it! (There’s a little bit of growth but that dots are always there). I want to make my legs smooth (or at least, smoother) but I have red dots all over my skin. It feels smooth, just doesn’t look it. So far I’ve found: - Acid exfoliation (Cerave SA Body Wash), should I use this? Or continue with physical exfoliation? - Urea moisturiser (at least 10%), I currently use a regular body moisturiser (thin, because anything too thick causes spots for me) - Glycolic Acid 7% (The Ordinary), I currently use this and it’s helped most actual bumps, but not the colouration Is any of this legit? And is there any of recommendations you guys have? Help! I just want to finally like my legs this summer I can’t wax, my hair grows REALLY fast, I shave twice a week and I still have a couple days where my hair has become easily visible, I’m not spending that much money on waxing, even if it is once a week 😂 submitted by /u/PoisonXpple [link] [comments]
- Looking for products that can help in reducing strawberry legsI’m facing ingrown hairs, and lately they’ve been increasing a lot. I honestly don’t know why. If anyone has used any product or method that helped reduce or get rid of them, please recommend it. They’ve really started affecting my confidence. Edit: I don’t shave my legs, I usually do Rica waxing. Currently, I use Bodywise 10% AHA scrub once or twice a week, Bodywise 5% lactic acid lotion daily after shower, and Bodywise 1% salicylic acid body wash on alternate days. Still not seeing much improvement though. submitted by /u/Solid_Ad4781 [link] [comments]
- Advise on hair removalI never had a problem with shaving my legs but it’s been an issue for more than a year now & it irritates my skin after I shave. I have tried exfoliation (with gloves & chemically) moisturizing, men razors, regular women razors, and single blade razors. And different types of shaving cream. I get super itchy and irritated . Should I just take the loss and just wax now? submitted by /u/Other_Resolve9026 [link] [comments]
