Your Smoothest Shave Ever

With summer coming up it's time to ditch the pants and grab your razor to get your legs ready for short and dresses and swim suits! There are several things I do when I shave during the summer to keep my legs looking their best. 1. Exfoliate. I cannot stress this enough, no matter how much lotion you apply, nothing will make your legs as silky smooth as proper exfoliation. I recently purchased a body brush off amazon.com for around $5. The bristles are firm enough to slough off all the dead skin, but soft enough so that they don't irritate my skin. I use it to scrub my whole body with Dial bodywash. 2. Shave. I have tried several types of razors, but my favorite by far is the Venus Embrace. The five blades give you a fantastically close shave. Change your razor often for the best results - a dull razor is never good. I use Skinitmate raspberry shave gel - I don't think your shaving cream type matters too much as long as you do actually use shaving cream. I like this one because it smells like a garden stuck inside a rain forest covered in the ripest, freshest fruit ever, and the scent still isn't overpowering at all. 3. Moisturize. I go back and forth between Aveeno unscented daily moisturizer and Suave Advanced Therapy unscented moisturizer depending on how much cash I've got when I go to buy new lotion. 4. Optional: Tanning Lotion. I like Jergens Natural Glow for fair skin - the smell is a little strong, but it gives me a subtle glow that is so pretty and definitely noticeable. Bonus tip: Exercise. There is nothing like running and squats to get your legs looking as shapely as possible. No amount of exfoliating and shaving is going give you toned legs. Bonus tip 2: This is fantastic for your bikini line too - exfoliating down there makes all the difference for avoiding unsightly bumps, whether you shave or wax.
