• Before showering gently buff your legs with a body brush to make them bump-free and get circulation going.
• Save your shave till the end of your shower or bath. The warm water will soften your hair and open the follicles for a smoother result.
• Always moisturise after showering to lock in the natural oils of your body and avoid red spots.
• A slight sheen on the legs gives the illusion of length. Apply a shimmery moisturiser, especially along the front of your legs. The sheen will catch the light and help to create length and contours.
• Sneakily add a few more inches of length to your pins by wearing beige, tan or gold coloured shoes. The colour blends into your legs so they give the appearance of going on forever.
• Choose a skirt that finishes at the slimmest point of your legs to help make them appear as thin as poss.
• In addition to looking after your legs for your night out, always keep three essentials in your bag for instant glamour. Wet wipes to refresh your face, lip gloss to pucker those lips and perfume to make you smell irresistible. You’ll feel fabulous and ooze confidence.

• Moisturise all over. Our skin is our body’s largest organ and we can’t tell you enough how grateful your legs will feel all year round if you make moisturising them part of your daily regime. You’ll lock moisture in which will stop any dryness or winter itching. You don’t need expensive creams for this treat either.
• Treat your toes. Those little pinkies may not be on display much in the winter months, but they still deserve some TLC and they should never be forgotten. So rub off any hard skin, use some foot soothing gel and keep your toe nails nicely manicured.
• Stimulate your legs with a massage. Better still, book yourself in for a full body massage or have a friend or boyfriend kneed away at your legs. It’ll help your circulation and your legs to feel properly pampered.
• Exfoliate for super smooth legs. Smooth legs are a million times more appealing than legs with stubble. So exfoliate once a week and shave your legs with a good razor that has built in conditioning strips.
• The right time and place. Showers create heat and steam to help open the hair folicals. When they’re open they’re the most receptive to a close shave, helping to give you smoother legs for longer.
• Treating your body and spirit. If you don’t get your legs out often, try treating yourself to some new sexy leg baring clothes and get them out of jeans every now and then. You’ll find it’s good for your spirit too.

• Invest in a good razor and use a sharp blade to prevent shaving burn. Newer blades reduce the pull on hair. The closer the blades are together the better.
• Replace the blades as soon as you need to apply pressure to shave. You’ll also find many Wilkinson Sword products have an indicator to tell you when to change the blades.
• Shave at the end of your shower so your hair is softened and hair follicles relaxed. It’ll also prevent your razor from blunting too quickly.
• Try to avoid shaving when you first wake up as body fluids make the skin puffier. After 20 – 30 minutes, the skin becomes more tauter and the hair is better exposed.
• Choose a direction to shave in and stick with it. It’s normally best to shave against the hair growth as this gives the closest shave.
• Get rid of all the dead skin cells that could clog up your razor and prevent a close shave by exfoliating or body brushing at least once a week.
• Don’t wipe the blades of your razor with a towel or tissue as this can cause damage to the blade.
• For the bikini area, use a fresh blade, light touch and plenty of warm water and shaving cream. Shave horizontally from outside to inside.
• Shave underarms from the bottom up, going over the area only once. Wait a while before applying your deodorant so it doesn’t sting.
• Make sure you moisturise from head to toe when you get out of the shower. An alcohol-free, unscented lotion without AHA’s is always a good choice.

• Step 1: Whilst sitting at your desk, lift your left foot off the floor a few inches bending your knees. Hold it for 10 seconds and repeat the other side. It’ll help tone your leg, hip and inner thigh and no one need know you’re doing it!
• Step 2: Exercise your lower legs by extending your legs straight and pulling your feet backwards until you can feel the stretch in your lower leg muscle. Then stretch your toes forward as far as possible and count to 10. Repeat.
• Step 3: Walk to talk to your colleagues rather than picking up the phone. Just getting up and taking a few paces helps keep the circulation going and gets those legs of your active again. Plus you never know who you might bump in to.
• Step 4: Minimise puffiness and strengthen your ankles by extending your feet and rotating your ankles slowly in both directions. Repeat 10 times in each direction on both legs. It helps increase circulation for the whole leg too.
• Step 5: Sit without a chair! Stand with your back against the wall and feet shoulder apart. Then lower yourself into a seated position keeping your feet flat and hold for 15-30 seconds. Don’t bend your knees beyond a 90 degree angle. Doing this for 4 minutes a day you’re guaranteed to see the difference.

And don’t forget, hair free and tanned legs help give that extra definition so pick up a Wilkinson Sword razor and find a good non streaky fake tan to get the ultimate leg look.
