Become A Fan6 Tips For Smooth And Sexy LegsSummer is finally in full swing, so if you've been hiding
your gorgeous gams underneath long skirts and skinny jeans all season, it's time to do something about it. Flaunt what your mama gave ya and prep your pins for the warmer weather with these expert tips.
Exfoliate FirstPrior to waxing or shaving, it's of utmost importance to
exfoliate your legs. While this is no new tip, it is tried
and true. Slough away those dead skin cells, and let your
legs shine.
Invest In A Good Razor Or WaxWhen it comes to choosing a razor or wax, it's okay to
splurge. Make sure you aren't using a product that has been sitting in your cupboard for a year, and with wax, check for expiration dates. Your razor should be used a max of three times before tossing it. Otherwise, prepare for razor burn.
Shave The Right WayShave during a warm shower, when the hair is nice and soft. Make sure your razor is fresh, and that the area has been prepped with a shaving cream or shaving oil first. If your legs have extra-coarse hair or are prone to ingrown hairs shaving with the growth of the hair can often be helpful. After you're done shaving, use a gentle astringent to keep the area clean and free of bacteria.
And At The Right Time Of DayA little-known secret is that the time of day you choose
to remove hair is essential. When shaving your legs, it's
best to opt for an evening or nighttime removal. Our skin
swells overnight, so an A.M. shave is not going to get
nearly as close as it would at night. Pick a time when you
won't have to rush as well. Because whether you're waxing
or shaving, you'll want to take your time in order to
prevent any cuts or irritation.
Try A Hair Removal CreamHate shaving? Try a pain-free hair removal cream that
actually smells yummy instead! Nair's Brazilian Spa Clay
for legs and body removes hair while you shower using Nair
Shower Power technology. Simply smooth on your legs before you hop in the shower and step out with silky smooth skin that stays hair-free for days longer than shaving.
Do Some SquatsTo make your legs (and buttocks) toned and tight for those
short summer skirts and shorts, doing 40 to 50 squats a day
while holding a five-pound weight will do the trick.
