    I have had this condition since I was in my late teens. I am 48.

    My knees for instance are softer skin, etc. I only need to shave ......hmmm every 4 months or less often. I used to shave more often. I don't have hair growing at all at the backs of my entire legs nor inner thighs.

    But I believe my legs going more and more "hairless", is more hereditary as I age, since my mother never shaved. She never had hairy legs. THis hairless trend is coinciding with my armpits...now I only need to shave them hmmmm....every 4-5 months. No hair to shave.

    Yes, Lubriderm is a recommended lotion. There is another lotion that has daisies on its logo designs and starts with g.
    I use Kerilotion immediately after I shower.

    And for the past 15 years, I shower every day now..probably as a result of cycling often though when I lived in Ontario I didn't cycle during the winter.

    My sisters do not have same leg condition as me. Some sisters have had to shave way more frequently than I ever did.

    THought it was worth finding out if others here have some leg skin.

    Since I do cycle often in good weather and am in shorts often, I do use alot of lotion plus sunblock.

    You should know that it is very normal for women to have less hair on their legs, underarms, etc, as they grow older.
