I can never get tan ANYWHERE I've tried literally everything. I don't know what else to do and when I shave my legs aren't the pretty soft look I get what looks like razor burn but isn't. Any suggestions on how to fix any of these problems?

Shaving with conditioner gives a closer shave and I find leaves my legs softer. Do you legs turn red after shaving?

I think the skin on your legs is sensitve... You could try a razor with moisture bars and aloe vera to soothe your skin.

I have the same problem as you, have you tried exfoliating your legs? I always do that before and after shaving and it makes my legs sooo much softer.

I exfoliate (coconut oil & brown sugar), shave with a mens razor (disposable Gillette ones, I use a new razor every time), sensitive shaving cream, moisturize (Curel lotion), then I wear tube socks until my legs dry to help the moisturizer soak in. :)

You don't have to shave. You could try a hair removal cream like Nair.

I had (still have) that same issue when I shave so that's why I switched to waxing and epilating. If pain isn't your thing you cab try a chemical based hair removal cream (very, nair) but it sounds like you have sensitive skin so patch test it first (I didn't and ended up getting a chemical burn all up one side of my leg. -_-) I also have an intense routine that remains the same regardless of method. Exfoliate and moisturize thoroughly the day before, moisturize an hour before, remove hair, take a men's after shave (Gillette men's after shave gel for sensitive skin) and massage your legs. Let dry. Apply a face mask (sounds weird I know, but trust me there won't be any bumps or ingrowns) let dry scrub off in the shower or a tub or somewhere, and then apply a thick coat of moisturizer mixed with some vitamin e oil. I know its a lot and that's why I stick to the long term methods, so worth it. If you would like anymore info or need specific details you can just ask me on my profile :3 hope this helps
