When I shave my legs, they still looks hairy or have red dots..?

Question

Why is it? Is it the razor? They look like there are still hairs or they go all spotty. Why?

Answer 1

odds are that you didnt put enough soap or shave gel on your legs. if you have pale skin its just more obvious. i have that problem. be sure to moisturize because it helps a lot!

Answer 2

the red dots are from razor burn.

make sure you really lather your legs with shaving cream.

Answer 3

You have to shave the same way as your hair goes and use lots of shave cream

Answer 4

It could be the razor. I keep recommending shicks, there's one that has little wires around the blades that protect your skin and still give you a close shave.  The best solution however to get a perfect shave that doesnt irritate your skin is using an electric shaver. They have special kinds for girls that you can use wet or dry.  I use it dry and it doesn't irritate at all.

Also, the issue with shaving is that if you have fair skin you can see the hair growing under your skin so it looks hairy even after you shave. The solution for that is either tanning, waxing or using an epilator. I have been using an epilator for about 2 years and it does the trick.

Answer 5

I'd live with it. Some men find hairy, red-dotted legs s**y. Good luck.
