Wax On, Wax Off
Although it’s a little painful and time-consuming, the best trick to smooth legs is waxing. Yes, it hurts a lot, but also delivers long-lasting results and gets rid of the roots of the hair, rather than just shaving them off at the shaft. There are lots of easy kits for using them at home, so you can either do waxing at home or go to a beauty salon. If you do it on your own, pay attention to the right directions in order not to get nasty results.
Shave Properly
It’s true that shaving legs doesn’t take much time, however be polite, and shave properly. It’s important to use some special shaving product, like a gel, a cream or a shaving lotion. Move your razor slowly upwards from the ankles to the knees and go both towards and against the grain, paying attention to the way your hair grows. Make sure not to overuse your razor and when it gets a little bit dull, throw it away.
Keep Cool
To get smooth results, keep your water cool. This doesn’t mean shaving in super-cold water, as this is bad for you too. Lukewarm water is the best, and some time later you’ll certainly notice the difference.
Use Olive Oil
After you have shaved your legs, apply a little olive oil and massage your legs before going to bed. Make sure your skin has completely absorbed it, and then wash it off in the shower. This will keep your legs smooth for a long time.
Exfoliate Your Legs
