Remember that classic doctor's advice of "Take two aspirin and call me in the morning"? Well, I'm not a doctor, but that's my remedy for just-shaven, now-irritated legs. 
I've already dabbled in aspirin-based remedies for face and hair, but this one's meant for your stems. Get my recipe for the remedy when you read more.
- Start by crushing two aspirin between two sheets of wax paper.
- Dissolve the aspirin bits in 1/4 cup of distilled water.
- Add three drops of glycerin to the solution. This emollient acts as a solvent for the aspirin while holding moisture in your skin. Stir the paste until the pills are dissolved.
- After shaving, apply the mixture to your skin with a cotton ball to avoid shaving bumps and calm any irritation.
If you've taken a rest from the razor in Winter months, you may be extra sensitive to shaving now that Spring (and shorts and skirts) are here. So grab those ingredients and you're good to go . . . bare-legged.

7Interesting. Might have to try!
8Great tip! And just a reminder to watch any nicks you might have when going to the gym--nasty stuff out there you don't need to catch! I have this liquid bandaid stuff that I use if I don't want to use the real thing.
9pinkflake, yes- use it after you've showered and dried off. Let it soak in and don't rinse
10Thanks for the tip.I'll keep that in mind next time I shave
11Whats the aspirin for
12Thanks Bella! Can I use it on the bikini area after a wax?
13aspirin contains salicylic acid, so it's probably there to reduce any inflammation from shaving(ie bumps, irritation from razors)
14Never heard of this one, thanks for the advice!
15Where do you buy glycerin??
