Like strawberry legs, or as I prefer to call them ‘strawberry skin’ because they are anything but cute. These small little black domed marks that look like the seeds on a strawberry can make your legs anything but silky. They result from obstruction of hair follicles or pores as it gets clogged up with oil, skin crusts or hair. Luckily, there are measures that one can take to reduce this occurrence or completely get rid of the strawberry legs and have the skin tone you have always wanted. To know how to get rid of strawberry legs and prevent them in the future, I have arranged a guide below. 

Strawberry Legs 

 Let’s begin by getting some background information about the causes of strawberry legs so that we can come up with the best solutions. The dark spots arise from the situation referred to as open comedones whereby pores In skin are open and contain dead skin, oil, as well as bacteria. Usually in such skin conditions, when these pores are open to air, the sebaceous gland opens and black color material forms inside turning the face ‘strawberry’. They found out that shaving was one of the major causes of strawberry legs since it causes redness, burning sensation, and formation of small spots which are likely to form strawberry legs when they are very many. 

 Exfoliate Regularly 

 The best solution to getting rid of strawberry legs consists in properly caring for your skin and using various scrubs on your body. It assists in the removal of the layer of dead skin cells which make them pile up on the skin surface and cause those black spots on clogged pores and hair follicles. 

Choose the scrubs which may incorporate natural elements such as sugar, salt or even ground walnut shells. Cicumrotate this scrub on the skin of your legs a few times a week to ensure that there is no accumulation of dead cells and hence maintain soft skin. 

 Chemical Exfoliation: AHAs are the chemical exfoliants that break the bond between the dead skin cells and BHA and dissolves them and can be washed away. 

Using a shaving cream: This is because the skin is made soft by heat, this is making it easier to shave off the hairs. 

Use a Sharp Razor: Another cause of strawberry legs is the blade used while shaving the skin as a dull blade will cause irritation, razor burn and even lead to formation of ingrown hairs. It is important that you employ a clean blade and should change its blade as often as is necessary. 

 Shave in the Direction of Hair Growth: Yes, using the shave on its own may give you a closer shave, but this is likely to expose your skin to irritation, ingrown hairs. To overcome such problems, you should shave your face in the direction of the growth of hair on the skin. 

 Moisturize After Shaving: After that is done, the person should wash their legs with cold water which helps in closing the pores before applying some lotion. This helps to reduce roughness of the skin and prevent skin dryness which are inflammations that will cause strawberry legs.  

 Moisturize Daily 

 It is important not to forget to moisturize your skin so that you can avoid developing strawberry legs in the first place or in the worst case, have them reduced. Due to it being dry it can easily develop rashes and form acne on the legs thus it’s advisable to moisturize your legs on a regular basis. Make sure you use a cream that is designed to go with your skin type; you know, those watery ones that are perfect for people with oily skin, and the thick creams for those with dry skin. They should contain some components that soothe skin and prevent it from flaking and which include hyaluronic acids, glycerine and ceramides. 

 Consider Hair Removal Alternatives 

 If shaving is the cause of or a contributing factor to your strawberry legs, it will be wise that you switch to another form of hair stripping. 

 

Waxing: Further advantage of waxing is the ability in its exfoliation and at the same time it takes the hair right from the skin’s surface and this way no way the strawberry legs can form themselves.

Depilatory Creams: They both work with a similar intention as waxing since they have an effect on the skin layer with the aim of dissolving parts of the hair follicles that are just under the outer layer of skin and hence give the smoothness more so than shaving. These creams are harsh on skin particularly to the skin that has not been exposed to many creams-or products, thus one is recommended to perform a patch test before applying these creams all over the body.

Treat Existing Dark Spots

If you already have visible strawberry legs, there are ways to reduce the appearance of those dark spots:However if you have managed to develop strawberry legs then you can prevent their frequent appearance through the following ways:

Employ it to a limited extent only when you feel it necessary as it is effective for soothing an inflamed skin.
