What Is Strawberry Skin? How To Get Rid Of It?

Strawberry Skin is a condition where shaving-damaged follicles on the legs become enlarged and clogged, creating the appearance of small dark spots.

Strawberry legs is a completely harmless condition, a natural byproduct of having pores and hair follicles. Something every human has—and a common side effect of shaving.

How To Get Rid Of This Condition?

Look for a cleanser or leave-on treatment containing salicylic acid and use it twice a day.

Treating dry skin is next in the quest to rid yourself of strawberry skin. The chemical exfoliation will take care of the excessively dead skin.

Skin needs hydration even if it isn’t freshly washed, so don’t be afraid to lotion up, everyday.

If treating strawberry skin with exfoliation and hydration doesn’t work, what’s visible might just be darker hair. Laser hair removal, epilators, or waxing can help here.

If the strawberry skin in question doesn’t respond to increased exfoliation and hydration or hair removal, check in with a dermatologist.
