As titled. I shaved my legs all the time in the summer and I guess that results in large pores. Any ways that I can minimize the pores on my legs cuz it doesn't look attractive  Also, I have quite a few marks on my legs. Anyone knows how to get rid of it or lighten them? If anyone knows of any solutions, pls let me know cuz summer is coming. Thanks. =) |

| Are you sure it's just not dots from shaving? I get those too, little dots where the hair grows in-- the hair root. I use a body oil with clary sage so the hair grows in finer, and also using a self-tanner camoflagues the dots a bit. I don't think you can get rid of them unless you have laser hair removal or something... |

| yes they are hair roots indeed. Try to use wax instead of shaving would help. |

| Maybe you should try using a moisturiser afterwards with an AHA. I found that after continued use the little marks on my legs have faded. |

| yeah now that I look closely, they seem to look like little dots where the hair grows out. But how come I don't have them on my arms? I shaved my arms too. I tried waxing b4 but it doesn't totally remove all the hair. Btw, how do u get a close shave cuz I can still see stubbles on my legs. I always admire those girls with nice legs. |

| Yes.. I also recommend waxing or epilating. I own an epilator and honestly I would never SHAVE ever again. The outcome of shaving for me is just gross! Lots of nasty ingrowns and rashes. My hairs are growing back finer from epilating.. and I BARELY have any ingrowns at all. |

Lisey, can u tell me which brand of wax u used? I tried Veet wax strips on my arm once b4 and it didn't work too well. Also, what exactly is an epilator? Is it something similar to an electronic razor? Thanks.  |

I used to use sally hansen's waxing strips or something like that. It worked okay. I also have my own waxing kit that I've totally ditched. An epilator, I guess looks like an electric razor but it pulls your hairs from the roots. I got a braun silk-epil x'elle one. If you're used to waxing then epilating shouldn't hurt at all. It's really worth it for me!

what is the pain factor associated with an epilator? like tweezing?
I also have super visible pores on my legs and hands...I've found that a tan helps to conceal the colour contrast of my normally pale skin and darker pore. A good scrub also helps remove the scaly skin helping to smooth out the overall texture (I find my pores seem more visible when I have dry legs...ironically I have a oil slick face and desert-dry arms and legs) |
