Want to have soft legs that stay smooth all day? Here are a few tips that will get your legs looking fantastic.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Warm Water
  • New Razor
  • Exfoliating Gloves or Body Net Sponge
  • Body Exfoliating Liquid
  • Shaving Gel
  • Body Oil
  • Moisturizer
  1. Step 1

    Always start out with warm water on the skin either in the shower or bath and make sure the area in entirely wet.

  2. Step 2

    Next apply exfoliating body liquid to an exfoliating glove or bath net and gently rub in a circular motion and rinse.

  3. Step 3

    Apply shaving gel in a nice uniform coat to each leg. Make sure to cover the entire area. Shave each leg. Apply shaving cream again and shave a second time. Remember to clean the razor off after every stroke to ensure the best shave. Rinse legs thoroughly and pat dry.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember to always use a new disposable razor or make sure the razor you are using is not dull.
  • Soaking the legs in water for several minutes helps soften the skin for shaving.
  • Shaving gel is a better choice to help eliminate skin irritation such as razor bumps.
  • Always use caution when using a razor. Apply the right amount of pressure to avoid cutting and irritating the skin.
