Common conclusions

Based on your answers, there are several other ways that can help you prevent strawberry legs. Strawberry legs refer to blackheads on your legs caused by shaving. You should try to exfoliate your legs regularly. Exfoliation will help soften your skin and loosen up the dirt and oils that are already in your pores. You can brush your legs with a soft brush in a circular motion for a few minutes before showering, or you can use exfoliating cleansers that contain AHA or salicylic acid. Soaking your legs in warm water before shaving will also help remove dead skin cells trapped inside the pores.

Based on your answers, you know a lot about how to prevent strawberry legs. They are usually not a cause for concern but can be an aesthetic problem. You should always use a sharp razor that allows you to have a close shave. When you use dull razor blades, you will have to go over the same area several times, which will further irritate your skin. You need to keep your legs well hydrated to help remove dead skin cells. Shea butter creams are great for people with dry skin. Also, you should use shaving cream when shaving to keep skin irritation to a minimum.
