I tried 5 buys to get rid of my strawberry legs this summer, one was agonising and even turned me & my bath orange
A LEG UP I tried 5 buys to get rid of my strawberry legs this summer, one was agonising and even turned me & my bath orange WHATEVER your views on body hair may be, the majority of women try to remove it. In fact around 90% of women in the UK shave their legs, and as I'm too much of a wimp for waxing, I'm one of them. 7 Leanne Hall tried five ways to get rid of strawberry legs this summer Credit: Supplied 7 One buy left her and her bathtub orange Credit: Leanne Hall But sensitive skin and shaving twice a week don't go well together and often I end up with strawberry legs I want to cover up anyway. It's an issue many people face and occurs when your hair follicles or pores are clogged with dirt, dead skin, bacteria or oil, which typically happens with shaving. But as we are set for a hot summer this year, I would like to get my legs out as much as possible. So I put five products to the test to see what would get rid of them so I can finally wear a skirt in confidence this summer. Venus Satin Care Women's Shaving Gel Sensitive Shaving Gel, £2 While most people swear by shaving foams for a smooth shave, I always find them to make my sensitive skin dry and itchy. Unfortunately, Venus' Satin Care shaving foam for sensitive skin, which is currently £2 was no different. While it did make shaving that bit more fun with all the foam, as soon as my legs were dry I wanted to scratch them and notice the dreaded red dots immediately.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that I didn't get the same reaction from the Veet Miraculous Oil. It was super moisturising and gave me a smooth shave, however, not as close to the skin as usual. I also used this after the shower and found it calmed down any red skin trying to make an appearance. Rating 3/5 7 The oil helped soothe my skin but didn't give a close enough shave Credit: Leanne Hall Estrid Pre-Shave Treatment, £7.95 I tend to roll my eyes at the thought of a scrub actually exfoliating my legs, but I was pleasantly surprised with Estrid's Pre-shave Treatment. It had a light lather to it, and the beads worked well enough to get rid of any dead skin, making for a smooth shave. I stepped out of the shower and moisturised like I usually do and was happy to report I had no itching or red skin. Even the next day, my skin looked smooth, and there was no sight of strawberry skin. My only issue with the product is that it costs £7.95, which is pretty pricey considering how regularly I'd use it.

Well, I couldn't be more wrong. I estimated it might be messy to apply so did so in the bath, and once it was on my legs I was horrified to see it was fluorescent orange and had stained my bath. Even after it had been rubbed in, the shade did not get better and I found it stung like a b**tch despite it being applied hours after shaving. Rating 1/5 7 The body makeup left my skin stinging and orange Credit: Leanne Hall Bulldog Skincare Sensitive After Shave Balm, £5.49 My last try was a little rogue as it was technically a men's product for facial hair. However, I figured if the Bulldog Sensitive Aftershave Balm worked for the most sensitive skin on our body then it had to be good for the legs too And I'm pleased to report that my intuition was right. I went on with my usual shaving routine with shower gel and an African net and towel dried my legs before applying the aftershave to my legs. Not only did my legs feel super soft, there was no strawberry skin in sight. What made it even better is that it costs £5.49 and you only need a small amount so it while last forever. Rating 5/5

From chic PJs to T-shirt slogans, how Gemma Collins is channelling Victoria Beckham after Towie star said she's new Posh
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ONE is a born-and-bred Essex girl with a love for fashion and diva reputation to uphold – the other is Gemma Collins. Yes, when it comes to Essex exports, Victoria Beckham has paved the way for her fellow county-women. 13 Gemma Collins has been channelling her inner Victoria Beckham Just ask Gemma, who yesterday told The Sun she and fiancé Rami Hawash plan to move to the Cotswolds. Whether they end up close to the Beckhams' £12million bolthole near Chipping Norton remains to be seen, but one thing is clear – the Towie star has her eye on that very Posh crown. 'The only way is the Cotswolds for me. It's real class,' Gem told us. 'Me and Rami are the new David and Victoria.' As Charlotte Oliver reveals here, Gem has been channelling VB for a while now, judging by her red carpet looks that say: 'I'm a high-powered fashionista with a gorgeous partner and the world at my feet.' But if the GC really wants to copy VB, maybe she just needs to smile less . . . 13 Victoria in a white suit in 2022 Credit: GC Images 13 Gemma in a similar get-up Credit: Getty IN The Sun's Fab Daily yesterday, Gemma said: 'The only way is the Cotswolds for me.
