Sensitive Skin Problems???

So I have sensitive skin, but mainly on my legs. But really bad!


I've always shaved, afraid that any other hair removal method would irritate them worse.


Shaving gel (sensitive skin) makes my legs break out (I look like I have hives!!!)


Using a disposable razor makes me break out....and non disposable too!


I've heard of using conditioner? Tried that.


Nothing has given me positive results.


Only using Dove and letting my legs air dry sometimes works.


Sometimes even using Dove I still break out.


I hate it. It's such a pain because I break out most of the time I shave. Sometimes I don't... if I wear shorts or wait to put lotion on my legs until the next day.


It's awful!





Any TRIED and true solutions?


Thanks!

Sensitive Skin Problems???
I don't shave my legs but I thought I would throw my two cents in (plus I wanted to reach out to you 'cause you posted such a nice answer to my question). Have you ever tried Kiehl's products? I have a crazy sensitive face and their shaving cream is the best I've found. It's a little bit expensive but it's so worth it. I found some ladies shaving cream on their website:

Their entire product lineup is great. I've got a bunch of their shaving stuff and their lotions. It can get a bit pricey but I think taking care of our skin is worth the extra cost so I never buy anything else. I was just out last weekend and I bought a bunch of different kiehl's stuff to "stock up" for winter (I really don't feel like running out in the middle of february when it's freezing).





anyway, I hope this information helps. I wanted to e-mail you and tell you how much I appreciated the answer you left for my question on depression but your e-mail address is hidden so I figured this would be the next best thing. I've been having a really hard time lately so it really means a lot to have so many people respond to my question. it helped to know that even though I don't have anyone to help me in the "real world" there are people online that can lend a hand.





Anyway, thanks again for everything and I hope you give kiehls a shot. I don't know where you're at but if you can find a retailer near you that carries their stuff then you could probably go down and get some free samples...that's how I got started.
Reply:waxing would be better but it is expensive. i have the same problem. i used the schik quatro and it seems to work good for me, better than razors with only 3 blades. whatever you do, DONT USE NAIR it will be terrible it made my legs bleed after having it on for only 2 minutes and burned really bad
Reply:Have you tried Arbonne products? They seem to help a lot of folks with difficult skin irritations.
Reply:The problem could be your razor. If you had it for a long time bacteria starts to build up and then can go into your pores causing breakouts. You could also be allergic the lubricant strips that some razors have on them. Try 1st changing your razor and changing it often so you don't give the bacteria enough time to build up. Also try using cuticurra soap or lotion - it will help with the breakouts. I used the soap on my face for a slight acne problem I had and it was better than any acne product out there. My dermatologist told me about it - and its cheap!


GOOD LUCK
Reply:Have you tried Aveeno? That's the only thing that I can use. My skin is highly sensitive too.
Reply:well it would be good to visit your doctor who will direct you to a dermatologist


also try this


the aveeno sensitive skin oatmeal bath


its very gentle but helps the skin alot and i know ppl who have used it and said it relieved the dryness alot


perhaps the metal on your razor blade is giving you an allergic reaction; a friend of mine got allergic reactions from the metal in ur earrings


go get allergy tested, ask your doctor you will get the best answer


dont use nair its horrible for the skin, and laser woudl just burn so will waxing so for the most part you can use aveeno and in the mean time ask your doctor for a prescription


good lucK!
