shave your legs with a new blade and conditioner, then afterwards, spray on that sally hansen thing for imperfections. i dont know what its called but its like spraying on pantyhose. it really works, it makes your legs smooth, even, and looking natural. the bottle isnt expensive, its like $7. oh yeah.. and it doesnt come off with water. so thats cool. you need soap to get the color out. aww.. hope you can wear skirts and dresses soon.!

They could be in-grown hairs, they can be painful, talk to a doctor for more information. :D Good Luck

you've got sensitive skin, so it's gonna be real tough to wax, and you'll ALWAYS see your pores, no matter what you do, it's just a part of nature (it's more obvious on some people, depends on your skin type) the only thing you can do is get a little sun so they don't stand out as much 'cause your skin'll be less transparent

It's called ingrown hairs. The best way to limit them is to try and shave as gently as possible. There are no sure fire cures as far as I know. Some people are just luckier than others. Another tip is to not put on lotion immediately after shaving. The lotion goes into the newly irritated pores and can cause commotion and red dots. Wait for a bit for the skin to dry. Also try a different razor, and always make sure your razor is fresh and new! A dull razor will most certainly cause more irritation.

there are lotions that you can put on your legs to make the hair follical become smaller if you rub it on your legs it helps deminish all the hair and make it grow slower if you can find some i found it at walmart a couple yrs ago but i bet its not there anymore sorry i cant help more Always Angel
