A BEAUTY enthusiast has revealed the budget-friendly products they used to rid their strawberry legs.
After becoming frustrated with small spots on their shins and thighs, they adopted a new skin care routine.
They took to Reddit’s 30 Plus Skincare forum to share how they “cured” strawberry legs.
SKIN INTERVENTION
Posting under the handle Wooden Ornamentsthey said that many people often have purple or red spots on their body.
“Mine resulted from several years of laser hair removal that damaged my pores and left little clogged bumps all over the thinner skin on my shins and upper thighs,” they said.
“I started using Amlactin Intensive three times a week to help with texture.
“I did this for about a month and then I stopped the lotion and started mixing Tretinoin with Lubriderm (not pre-mixed, just in the palms of my hands) twice a week.
“This helped even out the color since my skin had the same texture.”
The Redditor said they achieved impressive results in three months by consistently using the DIY treatment.
AmLactin Intensive Healing Body Lotion has a 4.3 star rating and Lubriderm Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion it has a 4.7 star rating out of a possible 5 at Target.

Each product costs less than $15.
The beauty guru advised anyone considering the strawberry leg treatment to be careful when using the products.
“Be aware that both amlactin and tret cause sun sensitivity as we enter summer, so this is not a good routine for people who like to sunbathe,” they said.
“I also use a mesh bath towel to exfoliate because tret can turn the skin gray.
“It is important to hydrate on days when there is no active treatment. I hope this helps!
SMART COMBINATION
Many people upvoted the post and said they also noticed an improvement in their skin with hydration and exfoliation.
“For me, Accutane cured my strawberry legs. It was a good side effect,” one person wrote.
“Mine has been improved, although not completely eradicated, by rubbing my thighs and arms with an exfoliating towel most times I shower and then applying moisturizer with 10% urea,” said another.
