hello, i just started shaving after waxing for two years. im a young teenager and need advice before my legs become ugly!!! basically when i shave, afterwards, there are always lines and dots that seem they are under the skin. i use soap while shaving, if you have any idea why this happens, i would like to know because i dont like the look of it!

1] shave after being in tub or shower at least ten minutes
[ pores open up, and hair softens so shaves easier ]
2] use a double or triple edge blade [ only your own - don't borrow or lend to anyone ]. Use each blade 3-4 times, and get a new one.
3] use a sensitive skin or extra protection shave cream
4] shave from ankles to knees, in long, smooth, overlapping strokes, so you cover each area about twice. Do only two or three strokes before rinsing blade off.
5] then shave from top of knee to top of thigh, in same manner. [ Do NOT shave pubic hair against the hair growth ]
6] straighten legs, and shave fronts and backs of knees
7] flex toes up towards knees, and shave backs of ankles
8] rinse razor well, and let air dry
9 rinse legs well, also. Brush teeth or something before applying lotion to legs - give pores a chance to close up, so
don't get 'breakouts'
DO NOT
a] use soap - drying, and not a close shave [ in emergency, use conditioner! ]
b] shave with hair growth on legs - not close shave
c] share razors

Sounds like razor burn. Use a gel or a foam instead of soap and always use a sharp razor. They get dull in two to three weeks so make sure you're changing them often. I've never seen what you're talking about though.

hey i suffered from those same problems a few years ago but then i started to use shaving gel but the best way for you to get rid of this problem and TRUST me it will work is to use coco butter you can get it at any near by grocery store it comes in a stick as a creme and in curtain lotions :) juts rob it into on legs ! everyday

It's razor burn. You need to use a shave gel or foam rather than soap.
