There are little tricks and twists you can add to your body care routine to achieve a great leg look this season. Yes we’re in the season where the legs are out there for a show and of course the first place to start will be the gym where leg work workouts are available to achieve well toned limbs.
1. Scrub to Prep
Like any beauty routine the first step is to scrub and buff away any dead skin cells – this process allows whatever will come onto the skin to be well absorbed and work effectively. You can try the dry brushing or salt scrub to prep the leg. Another good tip to hold unto will be to soak your legs in epsom salt water, this helps depuff process -just add salt in warm water and deep your legs inside. If you suffer form heavy legs just alternate warm and cold water shower on your legs using your shower head – do this for 20 seconds on each leg.

2. Focus On Contouring Limbs
Learn to work with purpose when moisturising your legs, use tools along with the moisturiser like a gua sha or use your hands to massage the legs – this will help contour your legs and shift puffiness. Focus on stimulating the lymph nodes on the groin and the back of the knee. Massage upward from the knee to the hip then ankle to the knee- 10 times gentle pressing is enough.

3. Aid The Glow
The use of skin tool to remove hair from the legs is always the first step to aid the glow on your legs, and this should be part of prepping routine. Developing a habit to use a self tanning lotion is the second step to glam glow, and the sound of this will probably make you think that’s where it stops but truly, the use of self tan alone can look flat without the addition of dewiness to the skin. So to aid the glow of the tanned legs give it life by starting with hyaluronic acid serum ensure you cover the most likely to dry area like the knees, the arch of the foot e.t.c. This will give an instant plumpness and then finish off with use of body oil, you’re advise to go for the nongreasy one that can blur skin imperfections.
