The Best Tips for Smooth Summer Legs and Looking Your Best!

I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #NeverMissASpot with Skintimate® at Target. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.

What is it about summer and early fall that makes us want to look our best? Aside from being in a bathing suit, even when I’m going out on a date with my husband, I try just a tad more. I think it’s because it’s still light out, the days are longer and we’re okay with showing a little more skin thanks to warmer temps! Lol I am the first to admit, I don’t take the best care of my skin, but I’m working on it and summer leading into fall is the perfect time to really start a skincare regiment. Since I have never been the biggest fan of my legs (I’m short and hello 10+ years of cheerleading that have made them “thicker”), it’s SO important to me that I try to make my summer legs look as bomb.com as possible. So today, I thought I’d share my best tips for smooth summer legs and looking your best!

1. Exercise: This is a given, but it’s also one of the best ways to avoid just dreading your legs. Muscle tone helps, even big thighs like mine! Just think lunges, squats and more squats. A common misconception is this will make your legs “big,” but it wont – it will tone.
2. Okay, so #1 really isn’t a skin care tip, but it’s an important one! Number #2 is keep them shaved. I am a huge fan of Skintimate® Skin Hydrating Shave Gel with Shea Butter because it contains moisturizing ingredients like lanolin and Vitamin E, and the gel forms into a rich lather allowing a razor to glide smoothly. It works great on underarms too (just a tip!). Oh and it smells amazing which never hurts!
3. Self-tanner: if you’re like me, you don’t have all the time in the world to be at the pool, so a great moisturizing self-tanner can work wonders on your summer legs. This is my fav. product.
4. Moisturize! I love body butters and lotion. It seriously makes the world of a difference to have great moisturized skin that’s silky smooth.
5. Be confident! Okay, so I have big thighs, so what?! They aren’t changing and a thigh gap is something I’ll never have, but when I put these tips into play and I’m tanned and smooth, honestly, I say bring on the dresses.

If you’re a Target lover (like me) from July 30 – August 19, Target is offering 5% off the Skintimate® Skin Hydrating Shave Gel two-pack. So go stock up, grab some lotion and pick out your favorite dress for date night. Thanks Target! I think I even convinced Aaron to love Target. We were there this past weekend and his words were “we should grocery shop there every week.” 🙂

Happy Tuesday friends, those summer legs are going to take you places today!

P.S. this dress is on major sale and I’m obsessed!
