How to get rid of strawberry legs
In addition to dry brushing, you can also use physical exfoliants that are bought in drugstores...
Have you noticed that small dark spots appear on your legs when you shave? These are clogged pores, which look like blackheads, but they are not. These clogged pores are sometimes seen more on one skin type than on another. The causes of clogged pores are different, but it happens that women who have darker hair and wider pores - have a problem with strawberry skin.
If you have this problem, we believe you want to do everything you can to cleanse your skin to keep it clean and soft, with no blemishes. The first thing you need to do is follow a few steps:
- Before shaving, be sure to exfoliate the skin,
- Warm the skin with lukewarm water to open the pores and remove hair more easily,
- Use a good and sharp razor,
- Before shaving, lubricate your skin with shaving foam or gel,
- Move the razor in the direction in which your hair grows,
- Hydrate the skin well after shaving.

In what ways can you prepare your skin, that is, do exfoliation? Dry brushing, which we have already written about, can help you the most when it comes to strawberry skin. There are certain brushes for this treatment that you can use to brush your skin.
In addition to dry brushing, you can also use physical exfoliants that are bought in drugstores, or make natural exfoliants at home. If you drink homemade coffee, you can save the residue and add one to two spoons of honey to the residue, then stir and thus exfoliate the skin.
Using a good razor is half the health of beautiful skin. And it really is. If you use a blunt razor or one that you have used several times and left next to the tub to wait for the next use, then with the same razor you will stretch bacteria and make your skin look even worse.
The appearance of clogged pores can be caused by poor shaving, first of all by using a blunt razor, and then by shaving in the opposite direction from which the hair grows (in this way the pores expand). When we use a sharp razor, then there is no need to press the razor during shaving, which will not hurt our skin. Use shaving gel or foam, which is also a must, because it will prepare the skin enough.
A technique that can help you avoid getting strawberry skin is definitely waxing. Whether you decide to wax, sugar paste, or epilator, the skin will change drastically precisely because waxing removes the surface layer and removes hair from the roots, which greatly reduces the possibility of inflammatory processes.
After depilation, it is recommended to use a cold roller, such as the one we use for the face, in order to reduce inflammatory processes on the skin. When it comes to any hair removal, the most important thing is to hydrate the skin so that it has time and opportunities to recover. If you do not hydrate it enough, all the dead skin cells will fall into the pores that remained empty after hair removal, and thus inflammatory processes will be created, and thus strawberry legs.
