Skin from the mosquito desert


Question Posted Thursday July 20 2006, 7:07 pm

basically, my legs feel like they've been attacked my thousands of mosquitos, ontop of them being as dry as a desert in the middle of the summer.
Whenever I shave, it's worse (duh). I've tried different razors. I've tried that razor with the moisture bar around it(didn't work). So far Venus Razors work the best.
I've tried about 30 different "ANTI-ITCH MOISTUIZERS" for my legs, and my legs just absorb it like a sponge and itch worse. I've also tried medical anti-itch creame... it helps by replacing the 'itch' with a 'burn'
So I actually have a couple questions
I was at the store and saw a Veet for dry skin. So I was wondering if Nair, or Veet dries out your skin?
Any lotions, shower gels, or anything that might help?
Maybe some voodoo spell you can put on me to make my itch legs go away with no side effects? :)

please and thankya

Veet and Nair do tend to dry out your skin, although the ones with aloe are better then the regular ones.

For itching the best bet if you are at home use calamine lotion, its pinky in colour but works like a charm. It's whats used for chiken pox so it really does work. If you are going out and the colour just doesn't match your outfit (ha ha)then afterbite works well, you can by it in most drugstores and it works like a pen where you dab each bite but its colourless. I don't know how old you are but benedryl in pill form does work on itches you might want to also want to try benedryl cream.

Hope this helped.

hmm well make sure you shave in the shower...im not sure if you do or not but dry shaving is obviously bad.

second i would just make sure you put on lots of shaving cream and shave slow, and after put lotion on to retain moisture and keep it soft.

as for nair, do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT buy it. it makes your leg having a burning sensation and have those little red bumps that last like 2 or 3 days. and for veet bladeless razor im not sure if thats the one youre talking about...but if it is from what youre saying i wouldnt try it if i were you because the shaving cream has some special formula in it to burn the hair off, so you could actually throw the "bladeless razor" away and wipe it off with your own fingers. i use Envi, and the actual cream stuff instead of gel.

hope i helped a little
