I used to epilate my legs but it just seemed to break the hairs and irritate them rather than pull them out, this made my legs very itchy and sensitive and it was causing a lot of ingrown hairs so I ditched that idea fast!!

Once the hairs had grown back normally I started shaving them again instead, this has been fine for me for years until the past few
Months my leg have been really itchy and and look like they have huge pores on them, it stings to put on moisturiser after shaving.
I don't have any ingrown hairs on my legs and I scrub and moisturise them daily, what can I do to get them back to normal?

Try not to put moisturizer on straight after shaving as your pores will be open and can cause an irritation. Mine used to do that and become so itchy I waited until the hair was long enough to get them waxed and no they are absolutely fine. Hope this help! :)

Gold bond creams always work for me. Especially the minty kind.

I always use a avacodo body cream after I shave it helps keep them moisturized and doesn't burn. It is very makes them very soft

During winter I have to shave my legs with baby oil vitamin e enriched, instead of soap I use eucerin calming wash (personally I think you could entirely forego soap 99% of the time) & then IMMEDIATELY put on a thick lotion. Hope this helps- its so irritating!

Better you go for waxing.. If you can't afford you can buy and do your self.. This is the good and healthy way to remove yr hair..

The product that I was talking about is Tend Skin liquid. They sent me samples in the mail and they work pretty well. I apply after I get done shaving.
