How to get rid of Strawberry legs in few weeks? (Keratosis pilaris)
So lets talk about Strawberry legs; those dark pores like dots pop up on our skin after shaving for sometime.
I’ve suffered from strawberry legs quite sometime now, after treating my skin using the following steps, I was able to completely get rid of the dark spots.
Here are 4 simple steps to help you to get your smooth skin back.
Step 1 : Exfoliate regularly
You can just get rid of dead skin cells and ingrown hairs by exfoliating regularly.
Grab a gentle scrub glove or a brush 2-3 times a week (depending on how sensitive your skin is) and scrub your skin using natural exfoliants like coffee and sugar.
I use two home made body scrubs – recipes are mentioned at the end.
Step 2 : Moisturize Daily
After exfoliating, apply a layer of moisturizer to lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

Step 3 : Shave properly
Proper shaving techniques are key to avoid those strawberry legs. Use a sharp razor and a shaving cream or a oil to get a clean shave without irritating your skin.
And remember, always shave in the direction of hair growth to minimum irritation and reduce the risk of ingrown hair.

Step 4 : After treat
After shaving, show your skin some love by treating it with a lotion or a serum. You can also apply natural aloe Vera gel or a moisturizer as well.
Recommended products : Aloe Vera, Rose hip oil, Calendula oil , Lavender Oil and Shea butter or a moisturizer.
Coffee Scrub I use
- Ground coffee (you can use used coffee as well) 6-7 tbs
- Epsom Salt – 3-4 tbs
- Coconut Oil – 2-3 tbs
- Olive Oil – 2-3 tbs
- Body wash or body butter 3-4 tbs
Sugar Scrub I use
- Sugar – 6-7 tbs
- Coconut Oil – 4-5 tbs
- Honey – 3-4 tbs
- Body wash 3-4 tbs
You can change the quantity according to the size of the glass jar you use to store the scrub. I make these as a big batch so I can use for a month consistently.
So there you have it. With these simple steps and products, you will get rid of bumpy strawberry skin and have a silky smooth skin in no time. Happy shaving!
