Question:
Why do my legs look darker with hair?
when i have hair on my legs, they look fairly dark. after i shave (yes i do, im a dedicated cyclist), they look much lighter. why is this?
Answers:
Hairs give a shade to the skin. Also, thin layer of epithelium is gone while shaving, so skin is sort of denuded and looks fairer.
