before you start shaving, while your in the shower, let your legs soak the water in for about 5 minutes. shaving works best and you can prevent the black dots by letting your legs get wet for a while first. also, go out and buy a nice quatro razor. this will help too. make sure you change your razor about every 15 days or so depending on how much you use it. make sure to put lotion on your legs after shaving too.

its stubble.
if its dark, i would start waxing your legs, becuase shaving makes your hair get thicker and darker, and waxing, lighter and thinner, so you shoul wax

I think this is probably the root of the hair you've just shaven off. They are more visable after you shave, because when they're longer, it's harder to see the hair, but the closer you get to the root, the darker it gets because there are more chemicals,ect, that stick there.

all it is, is stubble.its just where the new hair is gonna grow back in. if you`re that selfconcious about it, try using nair cream to take off your leg hair, because it goes deeper then razors.

I believe those dots are what your hair grows from. I have them too and unfortunately I don't think there's much you can do about it. If you try waxing or go with razors that give you a closer shave such as shick intuition, the dots should be less noticeable.

It's just because you have dark hair, there's nothing you can do about it. However, you can buy Jergens Naturally Smooth after-shaving lotion to make the hair less thick and it grows back slower.
