I struggled with strawberry legs throughout my teen years and spent sooo much time figuring out what actually worked for my skin. After trying different products and changing the way I shave, I finally found a routine that keeps my legs looking smooth, even and basically dot-free. 👏🏽✨
Strawberry legs can happen when things like dead skin, oil and buildup collect around the hair follicles, and shaving with a dull razor can make irritation and ingrowns even worse. For me, the biggest difference came from cleansing, exfoliating, shaving properly and moisturizing consistently.
Sooo I put everything I use into one list! These are my personal recs for my full shower + shaving routine — from the soaps and exfoliators I use before shaving to my shave essentials and the lotions/body butters I use afterward. 🫧🪒🧴
IMPORTANT: Pleaseee use a fresh, sharp razor!! 😭 I know constantly replacing blades can get expensive, but I noticed such a difference once I stopped trying to stretch dull razors for too long.
Obviously everyone's skin is different, so you definitely don't need every single product on this list. These are just the products + steps that have worked for me and helped keep my legs super smooth. 🤎
