Aside from her crazy love life and appearances on  The Simple Life, Paris Hilton is made famous by her long, sexy legs.  What’s the secret to a great pair of legs? Simple: Smooth and even skin-toned.  Hairy or spotted legs is unheard of in the fashion or beauty world.  Here are some tips on how to get sexy legs!

 

How to get sexy legs : Waxing

If your leg is a little bumpy or overdue for a shave, opt out from the razor. Using a razor can result in cuts and uneven shaving. Instead, wax your legs. Refer to previous entry for home made wax concoction. Waxing removes hair from the root. As a result, it takes longer (3-8 weeks) for hair to grown in again. Waxing does not cause cuts, pigmentation, or badly smelling skin. It is also thought that the skin that grows after waxing is finer and softer, though I have not found much supporting evidence for this. (Please comment if you know more about this). Of course, avoid direct sunlight and heat(hot bath) before and immediately after waxing. If you are a user of Vitamin A cream or tablets (such as Differin, retin A, or isoretinoin), waxing may not the best alternative for you as these medication may make your skin more prone to tearing when you peel off the wax.

 

 

 

 

 

How to get sexy legs : Exfoliating

The outermost layer of your epidermis consists of 25 to 30 layers of dead cells. These cells can act as a physical support and protective barrier to your body. Though an excessive of dead cell, especially on your face, can be unattractive and aging. The key is to maintain a healthy balance between bodily protection and beautiful skin. This can be achieved by limiting the amount of exfolitation to no more than twice a week. Excessive exfoliation may result in abrassive skin

 

Modern exfoliation cream is revolutionized to include age-defying skin care to provide beautiful, healthy, glowing skin. As in the previous post, I recommend The Revitol Skin exfoliator.  Like many cream in this category, The Revitol cream contains an exfoliator (oatmeal-based) to remove the dead layer of skin on the surface of your skin.  However, what set this cream apart from its competitor is that it contains essential vitamins and anti-oxidants to rejuvenate your skin. In addition, you will also benefit from photoaging, irregular pigmentation, and cleansing skin. Refer to their website(click here) for additional information.

How to get sexy legs : Moisturizing

 

Dried skin can result in flaky skin and are more prone to damage. It is recommended that you apply an all day moisture after showering. Try a body butter. Body butters provide thicker and longer lasting cover. You can find body butter at a local Body Workshop, Bathand Body or Walmart (for cheaper and works just as well).

  5. Thanks for the blog entry. I love the shimmering lotion idea.
    Lina, you can get shimmering lotion at most Bath and Body Work shop. It’s just lotion with little sparkling effects. Looks really nice under the light.
