Strawberry legs

7 replies

Does anyone have any magic solutions for strawberry legs? 🍓

I exfoliate using Lush orange scrub in the shower. I then shave using a foaming body wash. I have recently purchased Paula's Choice 2% BHA body lotion and have been applying that twice a day on my legs along with a SPF.

Is there anything else I can do?

My legs feel smooth otherwise immediately after shaving i.e no red bumps, just little black dots which I initially thought were hair follicles but a Google search reveals its likely strawberry skin.

Try Skin Doctors Ingrow go.
muse 2/3 pads and rub it all over your legs at least once a week. It h helped me with mine.

Only shaving won’t help you consider waxing or even epilation.

You’ll have to stop shaving. I recently bought an epilator due to the same issue and there’s definitely been an improvement so hopefully it’ll continue.

Which epilator would you recommend? I have an ancient one sitting in my wardrobe but wonder if a newer one may be more effective!

I brought on of those crystal hair removal exfoliating things which claims to help with strawberry legs and j think it does- I got a bleame but there are lots

I bought a Braun one. I had had an older version for years, but the new one is far better. It can be used in the shower.

I bought a Braun silk-épil 9, liking it so far.

I also got one of those Bleame type things which is also good but I find the hair has to be fairly long for it to work properly so not really suitable for summer.
