Hello! I use lubriderm for my legs after I shave and it works great! As for the ingrown hairs, I heard if you shave in the direction of how you hair grows there will be a less of a chance getting ingrown hairs.
(Btw thanks for the answer)

It's kind of unavoidable especially if you have coarse hair or curly hair, but my dermatologist once told me that loofas are the worst thing that you can clean your body with because you're scraping too many layers of skin which then creates more dead skin which can be the leading cause of ingrown hairs sometimes. She's recommended a anti-bacterial soap for me to use for my body and face (because I break out pretty often) and it's been a life saver for me. It's called CETAPHIL. Try using that and see if it helps sometime. I use my hands and that's it. I know it sounds bare and uncleanly but I am a clean girl and I am a germ-a-phobe, but it's helped my skin in amazing ways by dropping the loofa. Good luck lady :)

I HAD THIS PROBLEM!!!! A nightmare! SO I had to STOP using razors. I let my hair grow completley out which took about 3 weeks. During the 3 weeks I soaked in hot water (not too hot) to loosen up the ingrown hair and scrubed my legs. Then Finally I got my legs waxed and havn´t had a problem since! You will be fine just stay away from the razors!!

This will sound gross lol but with ingrown hairs just squeeze them out like blackheads or pimples, me and my bf do each others a I find it fun lol I don't think u can prevent them other then Being careful when shaving an I think waxing insteAd can avoid causing them because it pulls the full hair out rather then shaving

I would wax if i were you. I used to get lots of ingrown hairs when i shaved. Its because it blunts the hairs and so when they try to pop out of the skin when they grow back they cant and so they curl underneath. Waxing can stop this. Or you could get them laser removed. After a few treatments they dont grow back.

Hair on your legs use a electric razor or just a normal one use it light and gentle if you don't you will regret it also you can only use a normal razor 5 times and an electric one can be used with lubricant (found in supermarkets or local shops)

For your legs you could use veet cream or a razor. If you have enough money you could go for laser treatment.
