If you are going out this weekend in that short little dress, prepping your legs is just as important as the makeup you are going to put on. I am going to give you 4 easy steps to get those jaw dropping stems.
Step 1: Exfoliate
Make sure to exfoliate in the shower. I like to use Philosophy's The Big Skinny. It will slough off dead skin and has oils that leave your legs silky smooth. You always want to exfoliate to expose more of the hair in order to get a closer shave.
Step 2: Shave with New Blades and Moisturizing Shaving Cream:
Many people wax their legs, but the majority of us shave. If you decide to have, I recommend using a moistruizing shaving cream and a newer razor blade. She sharper the blade, the smoother the shave.
Step 3: Oil Up!
After your shower, smooth on a shower oil or dry oil. This step will replace your lotion. I like the Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil because it is sensitive, will not irritate freshly shaven skin and absorbs into the skin so you do not feel oily. You will be left with hydrated, smooth and glistening legs!
Step 4: Color and Glow
The last step is color and glow. Let's be honest. Nobody wants to see super pale and uneven legs. Not cute. I have listed a couple of products below that will remedy this problem.
I love and use VersaSpa religiously. It is a micro mist self tanning/bronzing product. It will last almost a full week and turns your skin a nice brown. No pumpkin skin for pale girls and if you are darker complected or a woman of color, it will even out your tone!
Sally Hanson Airbrush Legs is an awesome alternative to the spray tan. It washes off in the shower so you do not have to worry about being stuck with it for a week. When you spray it on, you literally look like you either have completely flawless legs or like you are wearing pantyhose. I have seen women use it and totally conceal the look of dark and prominent varicose veins.
Lastly, Lorac Tantalizer. I always keep this product in my freelance kit just in case my models need it. It is a lotion but you can also buy it in a foam as well. Rub the Tantalizer on and get an instant bronze glow. It will give you a little extra color and your legs will look fab. This product is used on the red carpet by many celebs such as Beyonce and Cameron Diaz. It rinses off in the shower and is easy to use.
