A desire amplified by the fashion trends of no pants, micro shorts or mini skirts which continue their rise this year, placing more emphasis than ever on this part of the body. The end of winter is an opportunity to take extra care of your legs, which are often put to the test for many months by the cold and the friction of jeans. It’s a good way to prepare them to receive the sun’s rays (and compliments) again. To do so, here are products with targeted action to beautify your legs as the good weather approaches.
How to take care of your legs before discovering them in spring?
Refine skin texture with a scrub
Exfoliating is an essential step to get rid of all dead skin and impurities. It also helps prepare the skin to receive the treatments that will follow. The Body Scrub from First Aid Beauty combining manual scrub with pumice pearls and chemical AHAs is a bestseller in the field. Sensitive skin can also turn to a grain-free peel like that of Garancia which works in 30 seconds.
Smooth and give shine
These two body lotions are formulated to treat dull skin with a rough, bumpy appearance. They are both composed of AHA, lactic acid for REN and glycolic acid for Drunk Elephant , to gently exfoliate and even out the complexion. An action complemented by that of shea butter for the first and vegetable oils for the second to soothe and nourish the legs.
Deeply nourish the skin
Nothing is more unpleasant than dry skin that feels tight in the middle of the day and becomes covered in streaks. To overcome this, we opt for a body cream which will deeply nourish and hydrate the skin. Sol de Janeiro has just released a variation of Bum Bum , one of the favorites of beauty addicts, in the form of a velvety body butter that hydrates over time and preserves the skin barrier. Fresh‘s Nourishing Body Lotion is a good option too. It contains plant milks of centella, rice and flax seeds which provide intense hydration for 24 hours.
Exfoliate hyperpigmentation, spots or scars
Hyperpigmentation can have many causes such as sun exposure, age or old scars. In order to obtain a uniform complexion, Bioderma has created the Pigmentbio lightening cream to apply locally. To treat scars before they create marks, you can also apply Typology ‘s cica-repairing balm which helps to effectively treat and absorb small everyday wounds.
Firm the legs
Among the best firming creams, the fresh gel with immediate tightening effect from Clarins is enriched with 7 organic plant extracts which work daily to firm and shape the skin. Another cult product, the Charlotte Tilbury body cream which includes caffeine which tightens and brightens the skin to actively reduce cellulite. Its cocktail of hyaluronic acid, vitamins C + E, aloe vera, soy germ and plant oils helps boost skin hydration.
Shave without irritating the skin
Those who choose to get rid of their hair with a razor know it well: the products used before, during and after shaving are the key to obtaining perfectly smooth legs. Between the use of a scrub and a moisturizer, a gentle treatment for the skin to facilitate the passage of the razor is essential. We opt for a One Two Free shaving oil or an Unbottled treatment which soften and protect the skin.
Minute treatments to enhance your legs
For those in a hurry who want to have an instant result, Erborian ‘s CC cream for the body works on the same principle as that for the face: it adapts to all skin tones to blur marks and give a tanned complexion. discreet, without transfer. Its composition with centella asiatica hydrates the legs and leaves them softer and smoother. For a subtle, golden glow, Freshly Cosmetics imagines a 100% natural body oil that incorporates golden micas reflecting the sun. It improves elasticity and firmness and nourishes the skin while making legs smoother.
