    Are you talking about razor burn? If so, you might want to try a really good razor( I use my husbands mach 5 razor, shh! Don't tell him!) and sensitive skin shaving gel. -

    Also, don't shave too often, I use to get horrible razor burn. I finally figured out that if I shave my legs like every two/three days, with a good razor and the sensitive skin shaving gel (not just soap), it's fine. Good luck!

    I have also found that if you use conditioner instead of shaving gel you get a smoother shave as it softens the hair prior to shaving.

    I agree with ali. You need a good razor, a skin-sensitive lather/shaving cream, and first soak your legs in very warm water (like in your bath). Afterwards, rub an aloe-based cream on your legs.

    Do you understand how the hair grows, the different directions? Here's a video to show you --

    I have very sensitive skin and the only thing that works for me is a sharp new razor and hair conditioner. The info about the conditioner was given to me by my cosmetologist sister-in-law.

    Hair conditioner! Great plan - who knew? (well, I guess you knew, and your sis-in-law... ;))
