orange streaks on my legs ... (i have pictures...)


Question Posted Saturday March 7 2009, 1:36 pm

i'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but yesterday i was shaving (with a bad razor...) & i got 6 cuts in total on my legs. they stopped bleeding, so this is why i'm not too sure if they have anything to do with this.

i woke up this morning with this orange like color on my legs. they're like streaks, and at first i thought it was dry blood, so i went to shower. none of it came off.

It almost looks like scars on your legs... the only other thing I can think of would be from any tanning lotion you may have used. I use Jergen's Natural Glow, and it leaves orange streaks if I shave my legs afterward. But if you don't use a tinted lotion, then that's obviously not it.

Get a razor that has a moisturizing strip- like a Venus or one of the nicer Daisy razors. The extra money is worth it, trust me. And if you don't use shaving cream, try to use it at least every once in a while. It keeps the legs smooth.

As for what to do about tomorrow... it's honestly not that noticeable from far away right now. I'm guessing that it will fade by tomorrow anyway. So if you wear pantyhose with your dress, then you'll be fine. Or, you could wear a little bit of makeup on your legs. Or... if you have any self-tanning lotion, try to use that tonight so it can kind of even out your skin tone.

It's from that bad razor.
But maybe you could wear pantyhoes to cover it up?

Foundation and stuff could get everywhere...which could be more embarrassing than having those marks on your legs. =/

They're probably just scratches from the bad shaver. Do not do that again, just wait til you can a new one, cause you can do serious damage to your legs when you're too hasty, trust me, I KNOW. Anyway, just buy some leg perfector at walgreens, or put some foundation over them. They'll go away, so don't even worry.

Well I guess to cover it up you could just like put concealer or foundation over it. But I'm not sure what it is...maybe you were scratching your legs in the middle of the night and it left marks. They don't really look noticeably orange, kindof pinkish. So maybe that's it? Whatever it is, it doesn't look unhealthy or anything so it'll probably go away soon.

But yeah. Put concealer over them. Or powder or something.
