As has become routine, I lied down next to my daughter as we read our typical bedtime story, prayed, and snuggled before she drifted off to sleep. In the middle of Go, Dog. Go! my daughter interrupts me, “Ouch! Your legs are scratchy.” Harsh reality coming from a 6 year old. Gone are the Winter and Spring days of hiding my infrequently shaved legs under jeans and long dresses!
It’s a known fact that I shy away from wearing shorts, mostly because my lack of stature is only accentuated by the wrong style of shorts. But at the height of our Southern California Summer, even I will be donning shorts to obtain some reprieve from the heat. If you’re hesitant to wear shorts this summer because you aren’t sure your legs are “summer ready,” I’ve got 5 easy ways to help ensure your legs are looking their best!
5 Tips for Summer-Ready Legs:
- The Perfect Shave. The first step to smoother, flawless legs is the perfect shave. I’ve been using the Gillette Venus Swirl razor with Olay’s Sugarberry Bliss Shave Gel for skin that’s soft to the touch.
- This particular razor features 5 contour blades and Flexiball technology to access all of the curves on your legs.
- Moisturize. Applying a hydrating, moisturizing cream to my skin has become part of my daily beauty routine. I prefer thicker body butters, but choose the cream that fits your skin type.
- Exfoliate. Every few days, I use a soft scrub to remove any dead skin from my legs. Not only will you eliminate the dry skin you might have carried over from Winter and Spring, your skin will begin to look and feel more hydrated.
- Protect. When your legs have been covered up for nearly half of a year, it’s inevitable that they may lack the golden tones of your arms and face. Rather than expose them to the sun’s harmful rays, try a bronzer. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen every single time your skin is exposed to the sun.
- Tone. As part of my Summer-Ready Legs regimen, I have been working on toning my legs with squats and lunges. There are a number of leg-specific exercises you can try to get your legs ready to show off this summer.
Choose Your Smooth!
The perfect shave is one of the most important steps to achieving summer-ready legs. Venus offers 3 razors to fit your lifestyle including the Venus & Olay razor, the Venus Disposable razor, and the Venus Swirl Razor. If you’re a multi tasker, you’ll love the fact that the Venus & Olay razor moisturizes while you shave, eliminating the need for shave creams or gels. On the go? The Venus Disposable is ideal for those with an active lifestyle. Simply shave, then toss the razor out when you’re done. And for perfectionists like myself, I prefer the Venus Swirl for flawlessly smooth skin! You can find all 3 Gillette Venus razors at your local Walmart at their guaranteed everyday low prices.
