Body hair is a part of every human being, regardless of being male or female. While males are fine with thick body hairs, females are not. Rather than being too hairy, females prefer to keep themselves cleanly shaved. There are many ways to get rid of body hairs, including temporary and permanent methods.
WAYS TO GET RID OF BODY HAIRS
There are many ways to get rid of body hairs:
Temporary means:
1. One could go for shaving as it is one of the easiest ways to get rid of body hairs.
2. Hair removal creams are another way of getting rid of body hairs. It is quite easy and painless for the users too.
3. Waxing is another way of getting rid of body hairs which is a bit painful but more effective than shaving and waxing.
4. Epilation is the best way to get rid of body hairs when it comes to temporary ways. It is less painful than waxing and lasts from 2-4 weeks depending upon the thickness of body hair.
Permanent means:
Laser hair removal is a permanent way to get rid of body hairs efficiently. It is not a one-time process though, it requires upto 5 times repeated procedures, resulting in the hairs growing back thinner and thinner and finally disappearing. It can be an in-clinic process and the home process only if one has the right equipment.
STRAWBERRY SKIN
Strawberry skin or Keratosis Pilaris is a common skin problem seen in almost the majority of women. Shaving improperly results in cuts and bumps, commonly referred to as razor bumps. When not moisturized properly, the bumps can lead bacteria and dirt to enter the open pores, which results in the end of the follicle getting darker. The tiny black dots represent the surface of a strawberry, hence, named strawberry skin. This can also result in ingrown hair or folliculitis.
Strawberry skin is a common side effect of hair removal which is caused by :
1. Using a blunt razor.
2. Shaving in the wrong direction.
3. Not moisturizing properly after shaving, leaving the open pores to get in direct contact with dirt and bacteria.
4. Having too thick body hair.

Epilators remove the hairs from roots that have the least possible chances of folliculitis and strawberry legs. Unlike shaving and other methods, it does not cause irritation and burns. It also does not cause bumps which means lessening the chance of strawberry skin.
It also provides hair relief for a greater period of time. So epilators are the best if you want to get rid of strawberry skin faster.
4. RINSE THE INFECTED PARTS IN WARM WATER.
We know that boiled or warm water is always effective in killing bacteria and other microbes. It is the same in this case too.

Moisturizing the skin prevents dirt and bacteria from entering the skin surface and clogged pores easily. Moisturizing frequently also gives a smooth texture to your skin.
Don’t let any barrier come in the way of your beauty, not even to strawberry legs. Follow these easy steps regularly to get rid of strawberry skin and be a proud owner of spotless, beautiful smooth skin within a week.
