A lot of us have experienced strawberry legs - small, dark, or pink-colored spots that appear on the legs after a shower and shave. At the very least, they can make you think twice before you put on a pair of shorts or a dress - at their worst, they can definitely impact your confidence.
Luckily, this isn’t just something that you have to deal with. Here's how to get rid of strawberry legs - and strawberry skin everywhere else too.
Strawberry legs is a common term used for dark pores on legs, open comedones, enlarged pores or hair follicles that are filled with sebum, debris, and bacteria mixed with air and melanin. They’re like small blackheads up and down your legs, and they darken when the pores are opened and exposed to air (aka when you shave).
Keep in mind, strawberry skin legs are different from razor bumps and ingrown hairs - though the latter two can certainly contribute to the overall appearance.
Luckily, it’s not usually a super common or persistent problem. Instead, it’s a seasonal concern that plagues only about 10-15% of the population. But that doesn’t make strawberry bumps any less of a buzzkill if and when they do pop up.
Here’s how to get rid of strawberry skin - and prevent it from happening in the first place.
A contributing factor to strawberry legs is ingrown hair, particularly if you have thicker body hair. Ingrown hairs usually develop when the hair is broken off sharply and when there’s a buildup of excess dead skin that’s keeping that hair from growing properly. So how to prevent strawberry legs before they even start? By dry brushing and exfoliation.
Dry brushing, as the name suggests, is when you take a brush with thick bristles - like this body brush - and gently buff your skin in small, circular motions.
In addition to helping ease the appearance of strawberry legs, regular dry brushing can also stimulate circulation, help treat dry skin, and even lessen the appearance of cellulite.
Do some gentle exfoliation for strawberry legs in the shower. Exfoliants free of synthetics, harsh abrasives, microbeads, alcohol, and overly-harsh acids and full of hydrating, skin-soothing ingredients are best.
Now, doing this back-to-back may wind up over-exfoliating your skin, so we recommend that you only use scrubs for strawberry legs on alternate days or simply stick to the strategy that you like best.

Finally, make sure you moisturize while your skin is still damp. This should be a fragrance-free, clean formula to avoid possible irritation - and you can even use a formula with some lactic acid (or other AHAs) if you need that extra oomph.

This strawberry skin treatment is next to perfection for your skin glow. High Society Face Oil is not just for high society individuals alone but anyone looking to correct and improve their skin’s softness and smoothness.
Shaving with an old, dull, or cheap razor is totally one of strawberry leg's causes - along with razor burn and full-blown folliculitis. The dull blades drag against the skin, increasing the chances of the hair curling back in or of skin congestion.
Make sure, then, that you choose a sharp, effective blade and that you change your blade at least every few weeks (depending on how thick your hair is, how you store your blade - out of the shower is better - and how frequently you shave).Use the best razor for strawberry legs.
Choose a shaving kit that will provide the most comfortable shave possible and not snap your hair to cause ingrown hair. Before you shave, apply our 2% salicylic acid lotion to aid comfort.
Body icing is the process of moisturizing your skin with fatty acids that improve the tone and texture of your skin and support free radicals. Here's how to get rid of strawberry skin with body icing:
Freeze some water with oil into ice cubes to treat strawberry skin. Our High Society Face Oil will not only treat your skin but will eliminate black spots and improve the skin’s softness and smoothness.
If all else fails and this remains a pressing concern for you, you may want to consider laser hair removal or waxes/strawberry leg's epilator. While these options are more of an investment, they do provide a more permanent solution to these shave-related concerns.
When administered to strawberry skin legs, hot wax and sugar wax can help by opening the pores and removing hair from the roots. Using the best razor to shave your skin regularly can slow new hair growth.
While shaving and waxing increases your risk of developing folliculitis, another solution for preventing strawberry legs is by using an epilator. It is an excellent substitute. Although this may sound uncomfortable, this procedure is typically tolerated well and must be repeated every two to three weeks.
Electrolysis or Laser Hair Removal targets the dark pores on the legs and stops the hair from growing excessively. Its goal is to slow hair growth by severely damaging hair follicles seriously. However, the effects last longer than the razor-shaving removal methods.
If you are experiencing a severe strawberry skin condition, regularly exfoliate your skin. This should help get rid of strawberry legs and avoid ingrown hairs. This process should allow new hair to grow through the skin's surface. If the problem persists, this could be a result of some bacteria or infection on your skin. Please see a dermatologist immediately.
