Strawberry legs are nothing unusual, rather the appearance of tiny black spots due to irritated hair follicles just beneath the top layer of skin. They get their name because they resemble the seeds on the outer surface of the strawberry fruit. These pores, also known as open comedones, are ingrown hairs or hair follicles that have become entrapped under the epidermis. Strawberry spots usually contain a combination of oil, germs, and dead skin cells and occur due to conditions like keratosis pilaris, folliculitis or even dry skin.

The good thing about having these spots is that they usually fade on their own with time, but if you prefer a smoother appearance and are short on time, there are a few things you can try. Moisturising your legs regularly can help keep your skin healthy and may improve the overall texture. There are also some skincare products, like creams or serums containing vitamin C, which play a significant role in fading the spots over time. The best option, however, is Regular Exfoliation!

Exfoliating your skin daily or alternately not only helps keep these dark spots at bay but also softens the skin and eliminates the dirt and oil that’s clogging the skin pores. This in turn helps prevent the dirt, oil and product residue from getting entrapped in your skin pores when you shave.

So, don't worry though, if you have Strawberry spots on your legs, because we've got your back with some super easy and fun DIY scrubs that can readily help treat those pesky spots and get your legs looking smooth and radiant once again.
