Hi,

i have just found out after circa 20 years of shaving and sugaring my legs, that it should not be done with freckles/birthmarks on your legs. I am very hairy, anyone dealing with the same? How do you solve this? 😮 adding photo for reference 😅

Well that's news to me too.
I have freckles on my legs and shave with no problem.

I think the only issue may be is if they are slightly raised , I have two on my arm that are.
If I was to shave my arm I could nick them .

Absolute rot - where did you hear that? I'd be shocked if there is anyone without a single freckle/mole on either leg.

Can you imagine trying to shave round each one it'd take forever and we'd be left with little tufts of hair .
We could let them grow and plait them 😀🦵
