Managing Strawberry Legs

6. Prevention: Shaving Routine

A proper shaving routine can reduce or prevent strawberry legs. It is best to shave during a shower because the warm water enlarges pores, allowing the razor to remove the hairs more easily. Use a good, sharp razor that shaves close to the skin. Always use moisturizing shaving cream or gel and draw the razor gently across the skin in the direction of hair growth. Avoiding shaving the same area multiple times will also help prevent irritation. Splash skin with cold water to close pores after shaving, then pat dry with a clean, soft towel.
