Well, ladies… summer is right around the corner, and that means it’s officially time to bring out the sundresses, shorts, and swimsuits! As the temperatures rise and the days get longer, now is the perfect moment to shift your focus to giving your legs the attention they deserve. After spending months tucked away under layers of jeans and leggings, your legs are probably in need of a little extra TLC. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. With the right steps, you can transform dry, dull winter skin into smooth, glowing legs. You’ll be ready to shine in the summer sun. From exfoliation to hydration to hair removal, we’re sharing some tried-and-true tips that will help your legs steal the spotlight all season long!
1. Exfoliate with a Body Scrub
Start by sloughing off dead skin cells with a gentle exfoliator. Regular exfoliation removes dry, flaky skin and helps reveal softer, smoother legs. Try the Glow Tonic from Dr. Lily’s custom skincare line, SkinKure. This AHA BHA Glow Tonic exfoliates and soothes the skin. Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acid complexes promote exfoliation of dead surface cells resulting in enhanced cellular renewal, unclogged pores, and reduced blackheads.
2. Consider Laser Hair Removal
Shaving often takes up valuable time and can quickly become frustrating. Even worse, it may cause hair to grow back thicker, making the process feel even more tedious. Instead, consider switching to laser hair removal—a highly effective alternative that delivers long-lasting results with minimal upkeep. For the best outcomes, make sure a qualified physician performs the procedure to ensure both safety and effectiveness. To learn more, check out our blog on the potential risks of laser hair removal.
3. Moisturize with a Rich Body Cream
Once your skin is freshly exfoliated and ready to absorb moisture, it’s time for the next crucial step: hydration. Don’t just reach for any lightweight lotion—instead, opt for a rich, nourishing body cream that delivers intense moisture where your skin needs it most. Unlike thinner lotions that often evaporate quickly, a high-quality body cream deeply penetrates the skin and locks in hydration, helping to maintain softness and prevent dryness throughout the day. One of our absolute favorites is the Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Balm. Not only is it gentle enough for all skin types, but it’s also packed with skin-loving ingredients like vitamin C. Its thick, balmy texture creates a protective barrier that soothes irritation and helps relieve common issues like dryness and eczema. For silky-smooth legs that stay hydrated and healthy, this balm is a game changer.
4. Achieve a Sun-Kissed Glow Safely
Nothing says healthy legs like a sun-kissed glow! The best way to get that golden color without the risks of UV exposure is with St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse. This self-tanner gives you an even, streak-free tan that not only makes your legs look radiant but also elongates their appearance. Say goodbye to harmful sunbathing and hello to a glowing, safe tan!
