If you belong to the group of people who constantly watch videos on TikTok and especially if your favorite topics are skincare and body care, then you will surely have come across the term “strawberry legs”. And since this is a topic that seems to concern a lot of people, with this article we will try to explain what exactly “strawberry legs” are and of course how to get rid of them.
Initially, the term “strawberry legs” is used to describe something that often happens to our legs in the case we choose shaving our legs as our hair removal method. The reason why strawberry is used as a point of reference, is because just like the strawberry has small, hard dots on its surface, so do our legs acquire small, black dots-marks on the surface we systematically shave.
But what exactly are these black dots and why do they appear?
Essentially, what we see are our hair’s pores and the dilated follicles which accumulate sebum and oils from our body, as well as various bacteria and dead cells. These are oxidized by the air and thus acquire a more intense, black color.
Of course, there is a solution and that is correct preparation and treatment before and after shaving. The steps we recommend following every time you are about to shave, are the following:
1# Start off with a good scrub which will clean the area, removing the dead cells, the sebum and the impurities. “The Exfoliating Body Gel Wash” is a scrub that you can use daily to achieve exactly what we mentioned above, together with hydration and revitalization of your skin, helping blood circulation at the same time. After this, you will feel your skin smoother and of course shaving will become easier, with better result, since it will be able to cut the hair better, with less wear on the area.
2# Star shaving after hydrating the area. Already from the previous step, the scrub leaves your skin hydrated, but for the razor to be able to slide on your skin and do an effective job, make sure to use a moisturizing product such as your hair conditioner.
3# The one step you should never skip after shaving is hydrating the area you shaved, to help nourish and heal the irritated skin, thus regaining its softness. “The Firming Body Oil” from our products is suitable for any skin type and provides instant hydration, toning the skin to its core. At the same time, it creates a protective “grid” on the skin, which is responsible for the regeneration and restoration of cells resulting in softer and smoother skin.
And just like that, with three simple steps, you completed your routine and the result will certainly surprise you, especially if you adopt it systematically. Little by little, you will see the black marks recede and you will acquire smooth and shiny skin, simply and easily!
