Be brave and ditch those black opaque tights this party
season!
This year, to make sure your legs are looking their loveliest
before you hit the town here’s a few little suggestions for you.
Exfoliation – our legs are kept well wrapped this time of
year, so give them some love and kindness by gently exfoliating them. Personally, I love to make my own with Coconut
oil and salt or brown sugar, and you can add a drop or two (no more!) of your
favourite essential oil. Chamomile or lavender are lovely but avoid if you are
pregnant. Pay attention to your knees and ankles which can get a lot drier than
other areas.
De fuzzing – we let that hair grow whilst we can hide behind
opaque tights, jeans and trousers – we all do it! When we want to show them off
in sheer or no (!) tights we need smooth perfection. Waxing is a long lasting
way of removing hair, and if you keep it up throughout the year gets finer and
sparser and less painful – win win.
Moisturise – now all the dead skin and fuzziness is gone,
treat your legs to thorough moisturising. This time of year dries our skin out so
a rich body cream will be fantastic applied before bed giving it time to be
absorbed, leaving your legs feeling lusciously smooth and soft.
Tanning – glamorous golden legs are always in fashion. We can’t
all afford to whizz off to the Caribbean to top up a tan, unfortunately,
however, spray tans are affordable and long lasting. A great spray tan will be
even, smooth and gorgeous – never orange. If you don’t want a spray tan and
only need the tan for one evening there are some lovely 24 hour wash off bronzers
now available.
Pedicure – If you’ve been hiding in thick tights and boots
chances are your feet are feeling a little neglected. So treat them too, softer
feet will feel so much better in those dancing shoes, and glossy, glittery or
metallic toenails will sparkle on the dance floor.
