EXFOLIATE Exfoliation
removes dead skin and
bacteria, which cause
ingrown hair and red, bumpy
patches. Using a light scrub,
apply exfoliator to your legs
in a circular motion. Rinse off
with water.
HAIRREMOVAL If you have
a thick growth, waxing is the
best and the most long-lasting
option. Shaving is easier if
you’re running late, or if your
skin is super-sensitive.

Tip Use leftover ground coffee beans to
exfoliate and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Tip Apply moisturizer before
bed and wear socks or tights
while you sleep. It will trap
the moisture in and make your
skin supple.
MOISTURIZE Exfoliating, shaving/
waxing dry the skin, so moisturize your
legs thoroughly. Look for moisturizers
with alcohol-free formulae. Oils are
more effective than creams and lotions
– olive oil is rich in antioxidants and will
do a great job.

PEDICURE You’re
not summer-ready
without a pedicure.
Go all out and
experiment with bold
nail colours, or dress
your toes in metallic
and shimmery shades.
COLOUR Stop falling for
skin-brightening gimmicks,
our skin tone is coveted.
You can give your pins a
little more colour with a
tinted moisturizer. It’s a
great trick to camouflage
cellulite, scars and red,
patchy skin.
