Smooth Legs for Spring

With the weather warming up you’ll be breaking out the shorts and skirts, so you’ll want your legs as smooth as possible!  Use these tips for great legs:

Exfoliate- Gently exfoliate your legs before shaving.  This will remove rough, dry skin and allow you to get a closer shave.  (It’ll also soften the hairs so if you miss any it won’t be as noticeable!)

Shave in the direction of hair growth- Do this first, then go back over in the opposite direction.  The different angles will give you a better chance of catching all the hair.

Rinse the razor in cold water- When rinsing off your razor between strokes, use cold water.  The cold on your legs will make the hairs stand up and make them easier to shave.

Apply lotion to damp legs- Don’t let your legs fully dry before applying lotion; the moisturizer will soak into slightly damp skin better.  And definitely moisturize!

If you’re using self-tanner- Only apply a moisturizer to rougher areas such as the knees and ankles.  This will allow for a more even tan.

For a special occasion- Apply a shimmery lotion (or mix a neutral shimmery powder into your favorite lotion!) to the center of the front of your calves.  This will draw attention to your legs and make them appear longer and thinner!
