Hi, I've heard that this can help with "Strawberry legs" and wonder if it really does?
Also, I wonder how often one should use it and if it can be used right after shaving?

Hi Ella 😊
Yes, this can definitely help with “strawberry legs.” It contains glycolic acid (AHA) which exfoliates the skin and helps to dissolve dead skin cells and clogged pores, making the skin smoother and less spotty over time. Regarding how often you should use it, it’s good to start gently, about 2-3 times a week, and then increase as needed if your skin feels tolerant. In theory, it can be used daily, but many get the best results without irritation by not using it every day.
Right after shaving, however, I wouldn’t recommend using it. The skin is often extra sensitive then, and the acid can sting or irritate. It’s best to wait at least 24 hours after shaving before applying it to avoid discomfort. Also, don’t forget to moisturize properly afterward and use SPF on exposed areas, as AHA can make the skin more sensitive to the sun ✨
Have a great day! 💌
