Those look like ingrown hairs Jesus what did u do after? You might need to see a dermatologist

>>40494777 (OP)
elipation is a meme
should have moisturised
idk looks fucked, do see a derm, you might be fine without but if it is cheapish do go

>>40494777 (OP)
avoid with moisturiser and regular exfoliation.

>>40494777 (OP)
looks normal to me

>>40494777 (OP)
unsanitary equipment & environment

nigga got mega monkey pox

Epilation isn’t a meme it works really well, smoothness for a month usually with no bumps

epilation is a meme
i did it once on one of my legs 3 years ago
that skin got irreparably fucked and its noticably rougher still than all the rest of my leg skin
nowadays i just shave once a week bc my hair grows in slow enough that i can stay smooth like that

>>40494777 (OP)
exfoliate
anti-bacterial soap before epilating
This looks like a follicle infection because of ingrown hairs or dirt and bacteria entering the new cavity
Maintain better hygiene

>>40494808
shaving does this to me, epilation leaves me smooth for weeks and doesn't irritate me. depends on your body anon. just exfoliate one day in advance and moisturize well afterwards

>>40494982
laser

>>40494951
what chair u got? ive been wanting to get a new one because i have an uncomfortable office chair and urs looks really comfy and like huge

>>40494966
>>what does gropebait mean o.o
I’ve been epilating for 3 years and had no bad results but nair fucked my thigh and I have discoloration, I guess it’s just your skin type

>>40494988
Some random office chair my rich neighbors threw out bc the padding on the bottom was ripping, I just out a blanket on top of it

>>40494990
happy for you
im just gonna get it all lasered, doesnt cost much extra to add in legs once i start blasting my pubes off after srs

>>40494985
why the fuck would i spend thousands on laser when using my 25 euro philips epilator for 15 minutes every 2 weeks achieves the same thing

>>40494999
Laser is forever

>>40495005
Usually u need electro on top of it

>>40495015
nuh

>>40495005
i'd rather put a few thousands towards my ffs savings than get laser and avoid being mildly inconvenienced every 2 weeks

>>40494777 (OP)
i have zero issues with it and stay smooth for weeks

keep your legs clean, exfoliate daily, keep your legs clean, moisturize, keep your legs clean

uepilated like a couple of months ago & took a hot shower after that (exfo + moistureized)

the next day u got i wake up to this lol. I basically did nothing ab it & have noticeable scars on the more fucked areas all over my arms & now perma wear full sleeves. I got a massager with the epilator maybe i shouldve used that idk.

funny thing is that i tried waxxing a part of my leg with some left over strips that my sister didnt use & no problems, kinda infuriating considering how much I spent on that epilator

witchcraft

niggas think is black magik and dont know that it happens when theres a proliferation of bacteria

that's why i stopped caring about body hair
mine grows wild, but i will tolerate that any day over painful ingrown hair bumps and itchiness, plus pih spots

>>40494777 (OP)
use benzoyl peroxide, it will kill the bacteria that is causing the pimples

>>40495044
how long was your leg hair when you epilated?

>>40495005
no its not. neither is electro technically. if you take t again or have t again you can regrow a lot of dormant follicles

>>40495044
the hair length should be long enough for the epilator to grasp it but short enough so that it doesn't break when the epilator pulls it, causing ingrowns
>>40495203
maybe op's hair was at full length

>>40494808
So do you think it would be better to shave your legs normally first, moisturize until your legs are obviously moisturized and not dry, let the hair grow back, and then epilating would be safe?

>>40495216
Yah usually I shave if I haven’t done it in a while and let it grow back to like half an inch and epilate then shave what doesn’t pull, and redo this until hairless

>>40494951
AWOOOOOOO

>>40495238
what i dislike the most about epilating is the noise it makes and that is too slow (the satinelle essential, at least)

>>40495216
hair was at full length, like a couple of inches.

ill try again but this time ill shave and wait for it to grow half an inch first thanks for that advice, although i will be testing it on a small patch of skin just to be safe lmfao

>>40495270
It takes me a long time bc I’m meticulous and will go over one spot just to get a single hair but I just chill and watch a movie and it’s chill

>>40494777 (OP)
Try rubbing it with coconut oil. Should heal up in a couple of days.

>>40498403
no!

>>40494777 (OP)
it's over
quit trooning

>>40494951
what in the fuck epilator are you using this is what i got

>t. gross southasian bodyhairhon

>>40501322
I have like a 200$ one my bestie got me for my birthday
It looks like the hairs are breaking and ur not pulling out the root. Mine looks similar without the dark spots (the root) until I moisturize and let the irritation settle and after a day it’s smooth

>>40501365
for $200 cant i just get an ipl

>>40501459
Yah but I didn’t pay for it and I already have an ipl it takes a long time to work and doesn’t rly get it all

>>40494777 (OP)
Need to exfoliate before and after then moisturize. Don't expose your skin to anything that'll rub on or irritate it like skinny jeans for a while after. Haven't done it myself, but I've heard that's the best way to do it
