Avoid shaving your arms and legs when your skin is dry, as this can cause skin damage. It’s advisable to wet and soften your skin with warmth and moisture. After shaving, remember to apply oil or moisturizer, especially since the skin on your legs tends to be drier and has less oil.

There’s no need to spend money on special creams designed for women, as they are quite similar to those made for men. You just need to focus on selecting a cream with a scent you enjoy.
Look for a razor with a pivoting head and multiple blades. The Gillette Venus razor is popular among many users, or the Schick Quattro for women with its four ultra-thin blades is also an excellent choice.
Remember to change the razor blades regularly; a dull blade can cause skin irritation.
Because leg hair grows downward, shave from the ankle upward. For the underarm area, you should shave in all directions as the hair grows in multiple directions in this region.
Ingrown hairs occur when hair curls back into the skin. Avoid this by gently exfoliating daily and using a lotion containing glycolic acid.
Consider trying waxing, starting with your legs. If you have coarse hair, this method can help slow down its regrowth.
