Beauty: 6 Easy Steps To Summer-Worthy Legs
Saturday, May 18, 2013
Exfoliation
First and foremost, you gotta get a smooth canvas and that means removing the flaky skin winter left behind. A great buffer is St. Ives Renewing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish. It’s gentle enough not to rake and leaves behind a level playing field.
Shave
Use your razor of choice but if you haven’t done the job since Christmas (show of hands?), go with a five-blade like Gillette’s Venus Embrace. This curve hugging razor is strong AND gentle. Use your fav shaving cream (or in a pinch, hair conditioner – yes, it really works!) and get ‘er done.
Moisturize
Creamy Palmer’s Coco Butter in all its forms, lotion, cream, balm will drench and treat your skin. Feeling better already?
Color
Here you have a choice. Regular use of a self-tanning lotion and religious application will get you good color, as long as you choose one close to the skin tone you have NOW, not the one you think want. The gold standard is Jergens Natural Glow Express and Daily Moisturizer. But as an alternative, Sally Hanson Airbrush Leg Spray comes in several different “Glows”. Again, find the one closest to your leg shade and spray on amazing improvement. Remember, the Airbrush washes away.
Polish
Don’t forget toes. For summer, a tropical color will set off those newly created velvety legs. Essie’s Capri fits the bill perfectly with a sultry hot flush, and will look sexy with those new jeweled flip-flops.
Radiance
Finally, a little bit of body oil (just a smidge) rubbed down the front of the legs, is the Hollywood stylists’ secret weapon. Classic Johnson’s Baby Oil is the icing that gets your legs red carpet ready (even if your only audience is the folks in the conference room).
All these products are budget-friendly and found in local discount and drugstores, where you’ll be passing right by the hosiery aisle!
