Q&A: After Shave Care for Legs

Q: My skin gets dry and bumpy after I shave my legs. How can I prevent this?

A: If you're using a foaming shave cream or bar soap to help get stubble-free, that might explain the irritation. Both products can be very drying. Instead try a non-foaming shave gel like the one below by Philosophy

or a mild cleanser, like Cetaphil, for extra moisture.

The proper technique is also important. For the gentlest removal, use a razor with no more than two blades and always shave in the direction of the hair growth.
