After I shave, wax, etc, my legs always have red/tan spots where all the hair follicles? Help!?

It doesn't matter what kind of hair removal I use, these spots are always there. They get better but still visible (I think because of my pale skin), and I feel self conscious. I also get ingrown hairs in a couple areas and it causes raised red bumps. Ick. I'm trying to find different of help it (like exfoliating) but nothing seems to work.

Hi,





Sometimes this happens when shaving because the razor is blunt - try getting a good quality razor - $10-15, and see if that helps.





Also, it helps in the shower if you have a warm shower for a while, then shave. The warm water makes it easier when your skin is warm, also its bad if you have goose bumps.. (obviously)





Try a new moistureiser - sometimes this makes legs ';dottie';.. maybe you are allergic to your soap, and after you shave/wax off your hairs (and a fine layer of skin) the soap is irritating your skin!..





Perhaps you could try a natrual soap like goats milk, or a soap free soap... just doesnt have the same chemicals in it. :)





Hope this helps!
