With the weather getting warmer and the days longer, bare leg season is upon us which means having to maintain super silky stems. While everyone has their body care routines, there are some products that make it much easier to achieve super smooth skin so you are ready to shine this summer.
If you are a regular waxer and the thought of shaving even the shortest of hairs terrifies you, there is one way you can maintain smooth skin in between waxes. For those awkward occasions when you are caught off guard and realize have leg stubble but it is not long enough to be waxed yet, you can temporarily remove the hair using sugarpaper mitts. Simply rub the skin with the abrasive mitts in circular motions to gently remove the hair. While this method won’t pull the hair from the root like waxing does, it also does not bluntly cut the hair, meaning hair will still grow back finer than it would after shaving.

Although many shower gels claim to be moisturizing and hydrating for your skin, often they still leave our skin feeling slightly dried out from the soap cleansers inside. For an in-shower body cleanser that actually leaves your skin much softer than it was before you washed, try an oil-based shower gel. La Roche Posay’s Lipikar Huile Lavante is a beauty industry favorite as only a few drops are needed to sufficiently clean yourself while leaving your skin baby soft. It can also be used as a bath oil – perfect for those relaxing pampering days.

Incorporating a body polish into your skincare regime helps to remove the dead skin and tough dirt that builds up through the day. Although heavier-duty scrubs are also great for exfoliating, often they can be damaging when used too frequently or too harshly. Replacing a scrub with a polish will be slightly gentler on the skin and won’t be as drying, leaving you with summer-ready smooth skin.

Give yourself a massage at the same time as cleansing with some exfoliating shower gloves. Use the gloves while applying your usual shower gel or oil in order to lightly buff and even the surface of your skin. Like the polish, they should only be used a few times a week to avoid being too abrasive and causing irritation.
