The « strawberry legs »

Have you noticed thousands of little blackheads on your legs?

You have « strawberry legs » !

Be Esthetic tells you all about this strawberry-skin effect.

What does it look like? What does it look like? Who gets it? Solutions? What does it look like?

These are small black or dark-pink spots that cover your legs or arms. With traditional hair removal (razor, wax and depilatory cream), the sebaceous glands produce more sebum, causing the pores to dilate and impurities to accumulate. Air oxidation causes the skin’s clogged pores to take on a darker color.

Why is this ? What causes and aggravates this strawberry-skin effect ?

This phenomenon is exacerbated by traditional hair removal methods and the proliferation of ingrown hairs. Pores become increasingly dilated and darker.

Who is affected by this imperfection ?

Mixed-race and dark skins are more prone to this problem, due to their thicker, denser hair, but light skins are not spared either.

Solutions :

The radical anti-strawberry-skin solution : laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal remains my most effective hair solution, and optimizes your chances of erasing and fading that strawberry-skin effect.

How does permanent laser hair removal work ?

The beam of light emitted by the laser is absorbed by the hair’s melanin right down to the root, destroying it. It heats up and tingles a little, but new-generation lasers have a built-in crumpling system, which makes the sessions quite bearable! Permanent hair removal is a gradual process, requiring several sessions for optimum results.

At Be Esthetic, our latest-generation lasers are adapted to all phototypes (light, mixed and black skins) and feature an integrated cooling system.

Put an end to hair and hair-related problems: ingrown hairs, rough legs, pigmentation spots caused by shaving and depilatory cream.

With definitive laser hair removal, say bye-bye to the strawberry-skin effect.

LBody care you need to do every day :

To fade those little blackheads, erase spots and tighten pores, you need a good body routine ! You take great care with your face routine!

Well, the same goes for your body. Adopt a good Body Routine.

1-Exfoliate

Get into the habit of exfoliating your skin regularly, whatever hair removal method you use. Exfoliation will help prevent redness, ingrown polish and the strawberry-leg effect.

Beware of grainy mechanical exfoliators, which are very harsh on the skin. Grainy scrubs (salt, sugar, fruit peels or gent de craint) irritate the skin, which responds to the tugging by producing skin oils (seborrhea) that encourage the proliferation of impurities and clog the skin’s pores. You think you’re doing the right thing by stripping your skin, but the opposite is true.

To avoid irritating the skin – especially black skin, which needs even more gentleness – we recommend using an ENZIMATIC EXFOLIATE.

What is an enzymatic exfoliant? An enzymatic exfoliant is a lotion composed of glycolic acid that cleanses the skin, deep down, of all its impurities: removing dead skin cells, tightening dilated pores and all this without irritating the skin.

Applying an enzymatic exfoliant once a week helps reduce the risk of ingrown hairs and clogged pores, and by stimulating cell renewal you’re guaranteed to transform the strawberry-skin effect into peach skin!

At Be.esthetic, we offer a range of body exfoliation products, and we’ll help you make the right choice.

2-Hydrate

Wait at least a few minutes before applying your body care products.

It’s very important to wait until your pores have tightened before applying a body cream, milk, gel or oil.

Prefer lukewarm or slightly cool water to finish washing, as heat tends to open pores.

Which moisturizer should you choose for your body?

Depilatory cream and self-tanner : WARNING!!!

Wait until the following day before applying a moisturizing cream or self-tanning cream, to give your skin’s pores time to tighten, so as not to clog them and avoid the strawberry-leg effect.

The magic formula against strawberry legs is: Be Esthetic
