QUESTION: I have naturally dry, dehydrated skin. I get my legs waxed by a beautician every four to six weeks. I also exfoliate my legs and apply body milk daily. Yet, I still get those stubborn red dots. What more can I do?
ANSWER: "Kudos on your excellent leg care routine—it's spot-on and consistent. Daily use of a high-quality moisturizer is a smart move.
To take it further, incorporate a soothing oil to calm the skin and lock in moisture. Opt for a very gentle shower gel, as this foundational step keeps skin supple.
Red dots might stem from waxing sensitivity. Skip waxing once and try a depilatory cream instead to test if they reappear.
Avoid razors, as they cause blunt regrowth, leading to a prickly stubble feel."
