Having awful legs could ruin your outfit, so it’s really
important you pay special attention to your legs.
Below are 6 secrets to having smooth and silky legs
1. WAXING:
Waxing is a very popular hair removal method and you should
book an appointment with a professional if you haven’t waxed before now. You
can also do it at home by yourself but it’s advisable your first waxing be done
by a professional.
2. LASER HAIR REMOVAL:
Laser hair removal is one of the easiest ways to remove
unwanted hair from your legs permanently but it’s quite expensive. Laser hair
removal involves destroying individual hair follicles using a laser and it’s a
method used by Victoria Beckham.
3. DEPILATORY CREAMS:
If you have a very sensitive skin, using depilatory creams
won’t be advised as they could be quite harsh but for those whose skin can
permit, depilatory cream is a wonderful way to keep your legs silky-smooth.
It’s advisable to test the depilatory cream in a very small region of your leg
before applying all over your legs.
4. SHAVING:
This is another way to remove unwanted hair from your legs,
keeping it smooth. Ensure you use shaving foam or oil to ensure your skin stays
moisturized during shaving and always go for razors specifically designed for
women to minimize razor burns and cuts. You should always apply moisturizers
immediately after shaving. While shaving is the simplest hair removal method,
the smooth results from shaving rarely last more than a night.
5. EXFOLIATION:
You shouldn’t just end at hair removal as exfoliation is
very important if you want to keep smooth legs. If you have olive oil and salt
or sugar, you can do this on your own. Make a thick paste by pouring enough
olive oil into a jar of water with salt or sugar and then massage the paste
gently to your skin. Rinse afterward with warm water.
6. MOISTURIZER:
Moisturizing your legs is needed after exfoliation. You
could use natural moisturizers like coconut oil and shea butter. Natural
moisturizers are healthier and nice for your legs.
7. DRINK ENOUGH WATER:
If you keep working on the outside for hydration and
moisturization but not hydrating from the inside then doing other things will
have very little impact. It is very important to stay hydrated if you want your
skin to stay soft and moisturized. Drink 8-10 glasses of water in a day and you
will see a noticeable boost in the beauty of your skin.
8. MASSAGE:
After you shave and also regularly, massage your legs with
body oil. It will provide intense nourishment to your skin and also makes your
skin healthy. Try to use oil which is chemical-free and paraben-free,
especially after shaving your legs. Otherwise, they may cause skin irritation
and is not good for the health of your skin.
