Dark spots


Question Posted Sunday March 26 2006, 6:37 pm

Why is it that when I shave my legs I can still see dark small circles where the hair used to be?

Is there any way to make them stop appearing?
Does this happen to anyone else?


Please help.

Either you have big pores, or you have dark leg hair and it's the tiny little bit of stubble left. If you think its the stubble, then maybe try using an epilator, which is a device that works like a rotating set of tweezers and pulls the hairs out. Hurts like hell but it lasts longer and it'll work out cheaper in the long run.
Actually I can't imagine you have big enough pores on your legs to cause black spots. But if you think this might be the case, buy a bottle of toner and dab it on after shaving. Toner closes your pores.
If there are only a few black spots dotted around, and not where EVERY hair once was, these are probably ingrowing hairs (regrowth that does not manage to break through the skin but grows just underneathe). Just exfoliate your legs in the bath the two nights before you shave, and the night after.

This will be ingrown hairs. Annoying as anything but they can be beaten! Get yourself a body brush and use it to exfoliate your legs once a day. Follow it with a good moisturiser and you should notice the dark circles start to disappear.

Any particularly stubborn hairs can be removed with the aid of a good set of tweexers, Just be careful not to pinch too much skin!

Try exfoliating 2 days before you shave, that always helps. NEVER exfoliate right before or after you shave, because it'll burn, really bad.

that happens to me too. i believe its a mix of a bad razor (brand not how dull it is) lack of shaving cream, dry skin and ive been shaving my legs for like 7 years!

try an electric razor! ive heard they are much better
