One of my biggest issues is that I have quite a lot amount of hair all over my body,it is kinda thick on my arms and legs , I tried waxing and epilating, aside from the unbearable pain I have a very white-pale sensitive oily skin, so I get pimples and red spots everywhere,shaving makes it worse , it grows thicker and much more than it was before.because of this I can't wear bathingsuits,shorts or even t.shirts and tank tops,please help :(

The only thing that probably make the hair grow thinner is laser treatments...I've tried it makes the hair grow slower and ligher...doesn't totally get rid of it though.

I have it too, girls. I used to always wear jeans, long sleeve shirts, and sweaters everywhere. That's all, and I would NEVER EVER EVER take off my sweater.

When I was allowed to shave, I discovered that my legs were quite sensitive. But I researched and found that aloe Vera helps to make the redness, itchiness, and bumps go away. So what I do is wet my legs, rub aloe Vera all over them, use a fresh new men's razor, and slowly shaved upwards towards my face. Afterwards, I rinsed my legs, and without drying them I rub more aloe Vera on them. I let my legs airdry. I still get some redness here or there but it's not as bad as before.

For arms, I learned that the sun will "sun bleach" them. Have you ever heard a person say that their hair gets lighter during summer from the sun? Your arm hairs are no exception! :) It won't be instant, but if you let the sun on your arms in the future the hair won't be so dark and noticeable anymore.

I've learned that if I want to be able to wear what I want and not always be so hot from long sleeved clothing, I can't let what others might think bother me.
So what if my legs are a bit red & bumpy? I bet there's someone out there with something worse. Confidence is the key, girls!
If you're confident, ain't nobody going to care about your legs! :)
Now I wear bathing suits and can finally go swimming with my friends. I wear shorts & tank tops and I'm finally able to get a tan & not feel so sweaty from my jackets.
Let yourself shine through, ignore what others say. You're you and that's that. Nobody can tell you what's "pretty" and what's not.

I had the same issue on my arms until I started shaving. It's pretty easy and I feel more confident. You just have to shave everyday it you do decide to shave. But you aren't alone.

Try at least lightening it first ,Jolene body bleach, I did this on my arms for awhile and you can get rx from your Dr that balances out testosterone and estrogen that helps minimize body hair.
