Hi!
I need help I been avoiding dresses skirts and shorts all my life. Im recently going to get married and my fiance asked me to wear a dress for my after party Im embarrassed see my legs are really white they dont mesh with my body Im white complected a little bronze but since i always wear jeans no exemptions my legs turned white really white. Eveytime I shave I get black dots its gross since Im so white when I wax my skin breaks out and i get red bumps I used depilatories same effect as shaving I dont have money to get laser hair removal since im getting married but am thinking about it in the near future. does any one now any other method for this or any thing that can remove this problem? should I tan first then shave? will tanning help since my legs are so white? should i shave after I get tanned and how long do I have to wait to get really bronzed so the black dots dont show?

Use a fake tan product and practice with it to get the routine down.

Use some good shaving cream when you shave and do it the night before. moisturize that night with a body oil or something natural. Find skirts, dresses and shoes in colors that are flattering to pale tones and avoid ones that make you look more pale. Use a tinted lotion that day or even tan if it makes you feel better, but don't try to become a bronze color that makes you look fake and orangey.
And all in all, learn to love your body!! Body confidence can make you look gorgeous in a paisley print curtain. There are many things much worse than being a little pale!

Everyone gets black dots after shaving... it's the hair follicle under the skin. If you use a really good moisturizer and lots of shaving cream, it should lessen the appearance of them. Don't shave with soap, it gives you razor burn, which is just as bad. If you don't want to actually go outside and tan, you can always try a self-tanning lotion or a bronzer, that way you can shave and then tan. I hope thhis helps a little. Good luck and congrats on the marriage!

use self tanning lotions. just buy sum magazines, they often tell u the best products around. also try olay lotion (the 1 in the perple bottle), it repairs ur skin, makes it silky.
ps: ur not the ony 1 avoiding skirts and dresses. lol

Try applying some soothing skin lotion after shaving, and wear nice stockings matching your bridal dress (pearly white or silver or pale pink ...maybe patterned)
