Made a right mess of my legs! please help

[MrsSnape]

I got into a habit of PLUCKING my leg hairs rather than shaving. It felt great at first, nice and smooth all the time ... but now my legs are a right mess. All red, blotchy, black spots everywhere, ingrowing hairs....

I have to wear a dress in 2 weeks. Can I rescue them in this time? if so, how?

Exfoliating should help.

When you say plucking, do you mean with tweezers?

I use an epilator on mine and they have never looked better, though essentially it's just a large battery operated row of tweezers.

Lots of exfoliation should do the job on your bumps.

What I don't understand is why plucking causes ingrown hairs but waxing doesn't.
