Happy Sunday fellow bloggers and blog readers!
Summer's here and what better way to waste your Sunday afternoon than reading a blog post by me!
Girls, we all know just how hard it is, to achieve those fabulously fierce and ever desirable goddess like legs. You know the one's I'm talking about...the ones in the Venus adverts. Seriously, who creates that shit? Those legs are works of dark sorcery. Now apart from stating that Harry Potter and his world might indeed be real, this blog is one to help you perfect your luscious leg routine. After all girls, our pins, are one of our best features. Now it’s time to rock them, IT’S SUMMER!
Here are my top tips, to frock-worthy pins in 15 minutes...
1. Exfoliate those bad boys! Get the dead skin off, make them shine like iridescent pearls. My favourite one to use at the moment is St. Ives. Exfoliating sometimes brings out an even better tan as it leaves the skin soft, radiant and flake free. I love this one as it smells divine of peaches, and feels really summery. Why I love it most of all? It doesn’t damage the environment like a LOT of exfoliators on the market do as it doesn’t contain Micro plastics. It amazes me just how many people aren’t aware of the devastating effects micro plastics known as micro beads, have on the planet and the creatures that share it with us. Our wildlife that live in our rivers and our seas suffer for our beauty. Fishes and even plankton swallow our by-products of exfoliators and it slowly kills them. If you do one thing to do stand up for our animals - buy a natural exfoliant, like St. Ives.
(Btw. I'm going to do a blog post shortly on the best products around for micro plastic free skin care)
2. In shower moisturisers are a god sent! I don't care what anyone says they are, god looked down and thought you know what lazy girls need? Moisturisers that you can apply in the shower! My favourite is Nivea Body In Shower Moisturiser. It smells gorgeous and leaves my skin feeling 110% more subtle and full of moisture. I normally leave on for two or three minutes because I like to think the more it can soak up but you can literally apply and then shower off if you like. I love the Cocoa butter one as it smells unreal! Kissable legs anyone?
Superdrug is where I normally buy mine as I love how they always have great deals on my favourite products. It's like they know exactly what I need every week!
3. Moisturise again! It may be a bitch to moisturise once you're out as well but if you do it makes those legs all the more worth it. I recently discovered Vaseline Spray and Go. Another godsend! For lazy girls like me who never really think to look after their skin (well unless they've been in the sun recently) this is ideal. No fuss, no faff, just spray it on and with one swoop of the hand it's rubbed in. It also absorbs ridiculously well so that you can dress immediately and not be sticky or get cream marks on your outfit. Again I've gone for the cocoa butter option because its smells beautiful and then there's no mix of aromas coming from me.
4. You can never have too much cocoa butter! Finally I finish off with the Body Shop's body butter in cocoa butter. I've had this poor years from a very special friend of mine and it's genuinely the best thing I've ever smelt. It's full of richness and vitamins adding an extra glow to your legs making them super shiny and super stand out.
