Dermatologist Shereene Idriss breaks down a leg-care routine starting with glycolic acid exfoliation and single-blade razors to prevent ingrown hairs. She recommends men's shaving gel to skip the pink tax, then seals moisture with urea lotion and Aquaphor spray. For lasting smoothness, she suggests laser hair removal as the long-term investment.

Start by exfoliating your legs before you jump in the shower using a dry brush, or use a glycolic acid face wash on your legs. A single blade for ingrown hairs, but 2 to 3 blades for a smooth close shave. Men's shaving gel works absolutely fine, don't pay the pink tax. We moisturize using something with urea to keep our skin smooth, and then we lock that shit in with an Aquaphor ointment spray. This one's amazing. Last, forget those Chanel bags, laser hair removal is the investment of choice. You will be smoother, happier, and hairless.
