Many experience small dark spots on their legs, bumps after shaving, or skin that never feels completely smooth – even with daily exfoliation, shaving, and moisturizing. 

This is often referred to as strawberry legs, strawberry arms, or strawberry armpits. 
However, behind this popular name, several different skin mechanisms are actually hidden. 

At Raz Skincare, we don't just address the symptom – but the biological causes behind the problem. 

What are strawberry legs? 

Strawberry legs is a collective term for visible hair follicles, dark spots, uneven skin texture, and irritation around the hair follicles. 

The condition is typically caused by a combination of: 

Many mistakenly believe the problem is solely due to dry skin. 
In reality, it often involves disturbed cell renewal, inflammation, and clogged hair follicles.

The 3 most common causes of strawberry legs 

1. Keratosis Pilaris (hyperkeratinization) 

Keratosis pilaris is a very common skin condition where keratin accumulates around the hair follicles. 

Keratin is a natural structural protein in the skin, but when the skin produces too much of it, it can block the hair follicle and create: 

The condition is often seen on: 

2. Follicular occlusion (clogged hair follicles) 

Here, there is an accumulation of: 

inside the hair follicle. 

When the material oxidizes upon contact with oxygen, it darkens and appears as the classic dark spots. 

This is one of the most common causes of the classic "strawberry legs" appearance. 

3. Pseudofolliculitis (ingrown hairs and inflammation) 

When shaving, hair can grow back into the skin instead of out through the skin surface. 

This causes:

Why do common products often not work? 

Many products only address one problem at a time. 

Some moisturize the skin – but do not exfoliate. 
Others exfoliate aggressively – but cause irritation and inflammation. 

Strawberry legs require a treatment that simultaneously works on: 

✔️ accumulated skin cells 
✔️ clogged pores 
✔️ inflammation 
✔️ the skin's moisture balance 

That's exactly why we developed Raz's Signature Treatment for Strawberry Legs.

The most important rule

Consistency beats intensity. 

You should not scrub the skin clean. 
You need to teach the skin to behave correctly.
