It’s that time of year again, short-shorts, minis, and rompers are back in rotation. If you’ve been slacking on your skincare, here’s a cheat sheet to getting sexy smooth legs in time for summer.
Step 1: Exfoliate
Exfoliating is just as important for your body as it is for your face. I like to use exfoliating gloves, but if you don’t have a pair you can make a quick body scrub. It’s pretty easy, all you need is sugar and your favorite body oil. Mix them together in a jar or mug, take it with you into the shower, and get to scrubbing!
Step 2: Shave
Now that you’re removed all that dead skin, shaving will be easier and more effective. Using a quality razor is the best way to prevent bumps. I use the Venus Swirl which has a pivoting Flexiball to contour to all of my curves and tricky areas such as knees and ankles. Inside the Venus Swirl cartridge there’s a tiny comb that helps the razor grab even the shortest hairs, so even if you’re not the best shaver it’s still easy to use.
A few shaving tips to remember— replace your blade after 10 shaves or so, shave downward first then upward to help prevent razor bumps, and never ever dry shave. Always shave in the tub or shower and be sure to use a shaving cream or gel every time.
Step 3: Body Oil
The Venus Swirl comes with MoistureGlide, a water-activated body serum that comes straight from the blade. If you’re like me and prefer a really shiny look on your legs, follow this up with a body oil, I usually go with coconut oil. It’s a miracle product!
Step 4: Lotion
You’re probably thinking oil and lotion? I know it sounds like overkill but trust me, your legs will love it. Apply a light layer of lotion and you’re all done. By taking care of your legs, moisturizing, and shaving with a quality razor, you’ll really see an improvement in your skin. Now get out there and strut this summer!
