Hey all
after terrible shaving rash I get on my legs I decided to bite the bullet and get a wet and dry epilator.
so I used it in a hot shower like instructed and half an hour after taking two codeine tablets.
codeine stopped me feeling a crippling toothache yet did nothing for my leg plucking.
Is there a wrong way of doing it? I'm confused as to why it hurts that much.
any advice would be appreciated
I have sensitive skin so I get the highly unpleasant razor bumps as well.
A little trick I learned ; shave those legs and bottom areas with hair conditioner!!!!!
If it's a good make (not the typical cheap American or Chinese stuff) it should work very well and create minimal razor burn. Also remember to do slower longer strokes. If you just wing your razor along in short quick motions, that is NOT good for those pores.
Additionally, get a good razor. Venus is the most common but I honestly think it's not very good unless you're immune to razorbumps. Sometimes men's multi-bladed razors are good as you can find more with large lubricating gel strips that make a world of difference, and they get those stubborn hairs in far less strokes, meaning less irritation, especially in areas prone to difficulty or sensitivity.
I tried waxing once. It did a good job, but my legs were more irritated than anything I've ever gotten shaving.
And stay away from epilation products! Very few do the right job without nasty side-effects, and even fewer can be used without serious risk of pore damage. I personally think they shouldn't even be allowed to be sold.
