WE all love having super smooth legs.
But regular shaving can often lead to irritation – with lots of women also suffering from a condition known as "strawberry legs".
And while there are lots of products on the market claiming to be able to help strawberry legs, aka keratosis pilaris, they often cost a lot of money.
So countless women have been searching for alternatives, with one remedy taking social media by storm.

"I’m fresh out the shower and I’m going to try that Germolene trick on my legs," she said in a video on her TikTok page.
