Everytime i take a bath or whatever and shave my arms and legs they itch and break out. I usually shave with just my body wash that i use or soap. What am i doing wrong?

I had this problem too, so i started using a shaving cream for sensitive skin ( i have to get sensitive skin everything ) and i dont break out at all hardly, only when i dont use enough or little things like that lol.

That's normal and happens to a lot of people. It's probably the body wash that leaves a residue on your skin (that you obviously can't see), but it irritates your skin and causes you to itch, break out, and get rashes. Use a shaving cream, and after you use body wash exfoliate to help remove that residue from your body wash. (You can buy it in a bottle, it's like a cream that has small beads in it, i use one by Olay that's pretty good).

Using body wash and soap is what you're doing wrong. Use actual shaving cream from now on. Get the kind for sensitive skin.
