What is the best way to get rid of ingrown hair on my legs?

For years I have been battling with this. I have exfoliated and exfoliated. I have thrown away the blade and tried waxing and creams. Nothing seems to work. I even resort to removing them with a pin. If anyone has any good suggestions, I would be grateful. I am tired of living with these red bumps all over my legs. Thank you.

I used to have the same exact problem, and I totally understand your frustration! I've tried exfoliates too and they just didn't work. My solution was a pumice stone... I use it every day when I take a shower. The trick is to buy a good pumice stone... Dr. Shoals (I think that's how you spell it) makes a good one that's oval shaped and doesn't scratch up your skin. (I bought mine at Wal-Mart in the section with foot care stuff.)

When you get in the shower wash up like you usually do, then (I usually sit) gently rub the flat side of the pumice stone up your legs in strokes... wait a few minutes before shaving... and try to use a good razor with a moisture strip on it.

Good luck! Hope those pesky bumps are gone soon!

ps... waxing can make ingrown hairs even worse over time.

Have you tried shaving in the direction of hair growth instead of against it? Yeah, you won't get as close a shave, but maybe it will help ward against ingrowns. Good luck.

What is the best way to get rid of ingrown hair on my legs?

I had the same problem a long time ago... exfoliating can make ingrown hairs worse. Use Aveeno's sensitive skin shaving cream with soy for your shins, calves, and knees and Bikini Zone for your thighs and bikini area. Make sure to let everything set in and soften your skin before you start shaving. Also, shave less often and use Jergen's shave minimizing lotion afterward (it also has soy).

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.

Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.

Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.
