There is no trick to make them longer and no rare miracle remedy to erase cellulite. but there are routines that can dramatically improve the appearance of cellulite. Ready for our 'beautiful legs' strategy?
- We mentioned earlier that legs have hardly any sebaceous glands, right? That's why your skin is so dry. And a word to the wise: as time goes by, it gets drier and drier. And if we belong to the majority of people who are too lazy to put cream on our bodies, why do we want more? Before we know it, our legs will have an unpleasant greyish tone and we'll even be able to snag our tights in winter.
That's the bad news. The good news? It's as simple as intensive moisturising. But we're going to give you a few tips on how to make that nourishment go a lot further and result in pure silky skin.
* TWICE A DAY
Don't just spread your favourite cream once a day, no: make it two! Especially in air-conditioned places (highly dehydrating) or the days after sunbathing.
* THREE TIMES A WEEK
Natural oils are a gift that penetrates and acts deeply. Among our favourites are Shiseido advance body creator super slimming reducer, clarins body smoothing milk with aloe vera 400ml. Apply a very small amount and warm it between your palms before spreading it on, using sweeping motions, always from bottom to top. If you have extremely dry skin, you may need to seal in the moisture by spreading a cream on top, as this will act as a nourishing shield, 'trapping' and locking the oil into the skin. With hardly any sebaceous glands, the skin on your legs is very dry: that's why extra moisture is needed.
Heavy legs? Here's how to relieve them
We recommend the ALOE VERA MUSCULAR HOT-Cooling Gel 250MLThe first step to soothe the aching sensation is to use a jet of water from feet to groin to reactivate circulation.
- Afterwards, a specific leg cream is applied: they have a refreshing action that soothes and lightens.
- The next step takes at least ten minutes and involves lying on the bed or on the floor so that the legs form a 90-degree angle with the trunk, with the legs touching the wall from the ankles to the buttocks.
- After two minutes of having your feet up, you can enhance the effect of improving venous return by moving your feet in an oscillating gesture, as if you were stepping on an accelerator.
