Hi, my name is Angela. I'd like to think I'm a friendly person and I've had my share of experiences and knowledge.
My friends tell me I'm great at giving them advice (most of the time) and I like to have fun while I'm at it.
Not sure about something a decision? Need more insight? Have some questions about sex? You should feel free to ask me about anything at all. I check my email all the time and I'll try to respond as soon as possible!
advice
well i am in an embaressing situation..when i remove hair from my thighs and upper leg by either shaving or waxing it seems to leave marks sometimes...right after removing hair the skin is little red and sometimes there are black marks or sometimes there are marks like acne....if i dont remove hair than there is no such problem...i need some solution to this..something that will calm my skin after removing hair...
It's probably because that area's irritated. I'm guessing this is probably your first couple times waxing. Remember that for about 15-20 minutes, the area will have some redness. Here are some pointers:
Is the hair on your legs long enough? it should be about half an inch long or else the wax won't grip onto the hair as well.
Make sure you clean the area, but don't rub the skin because you'll just irritate it more.
Try switching to another brand.
If you shaved and there are red bumps ("like acne"), its probably just ingrown hair. To get rid of ingrown hair, try smoothing lotions (available at beauty stores or just CVS), or you can always use a tweezer.
