Shaving help please

My first question is how often do you shave? That can affect the little bumps and red marks. Second, do you use a shaving cream? Personally, I use a conditioner in place of shaving cream. It allows me to get close to the skin and doesn't leave behind irritation. Also, maybe try not exfoliating right after the shave? Try doing that in the next shower to allow your skin a break

I don't think there is anyway to get rid of it. I would see a doctor and ask. I have the same thing but mine never goes away. It's a skin condition and I have it on my legs and arms. I hope everything works out for you though. Hope this helped as well.

I get that too. Do you soak your legs before shaving? Soaking the skin will loosen hairs giving you a closer shave. Also if you shave all the time you will get this problem. I have this problem because my hair grows extremely fast so I shave often. Waxing would be your best bet to stop this because it will pull out the root, whereas shaving does not.

Okay instead of using shaving cream, use shampoo! After you shave your legs put on a moisturizing condition and let it sit for about 1 minute, or longer the. Rinse it off:) also try a new razor to get a closer shave. I used to have that, but ever since I switched it seems to work! Make sure you change your blade regularly too to keep it at a close shave (you'll know when to switch it when you still have a little bit of stubble on your legs after a shave or when your hair grows backnfaster than usual!) good luck:)

I've had the same problem in the past as you. I find that soaking in a warm bath for about ten minutes, exfoliating with a sugar scrub (I use Tree Hut's Shea Sugar Scrubs), and using a good moisturizing shaving cream for sensitive skin (Satin Care Sensitive Skin or Satin Care plus Olay ) with a sharp razor (Venus Embrace) works best for me. Also, after I'm done with my initial shave I like to drain all the water and rerun another bath of hot water. This helps bring any lingering hairs that didn't get a close shave up to the surface, and then I shave over them again to get as close as I can. This has helped me out so much to not get bumps or stupple after shaving.

Try shaving with conditioner instead of a foam or cream! I do that and I have extremely sensitive skin that's usually irritated after, and it works wonders.
