Have you ever wondered if it was possible to get “baby-soft skin” again? The kind of skin that feels so good, you just can’t stop stroking it?
Achieving and maintaining skin that smooth throughout the year can be a challenge, but here are some steps you can take to achieve smoother skin, no matter the season:
Smoother Legs: No one wants to feel those prickly “before a shave” hairs – or the dry skin that can result from shaving, waxing, or other hair removal tricks. To quickly regain your best skin after shaving, try using exfoliating cream daily — prior to a shave or wax – to achieve incredibly soft skin all year round. We recommend Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream – this deliciously “spa-treatment-at-home” skin product will have you falling in love with your legs again!
Smooth hands and feet: Our hands get a beating, and are often the first things to tell the tale of seasonal stress – and we all know how easy it is for our feet to become leathery, cracked and dull. To maintain a gentle, smooth softness for both, try thoroughly moisturizing with L’Occitane’s Shea Butter Hand Cream, or Shea Butter Foot Cream. Also, try giving yourself at-home manicures and pedicures by soaking them in Epsom salt to reduce stress, as well as soften hands and feet.
For a natural way to get rid of unattractive rough and callused skin on feet, Donna Perillo, owner of Sweet Lily Spa in New York City, recommends soaking your foot in a bowl of warm water with equal parts lemon, orange or grapefruit juice (you can also use a combination of all three). Let your feet soak for five minutes to loosen dead skin on heels, toes and the balls of the foot, then use a pumice stone to rub away the “scaly” — rinse gently, and use your favorite foot balm to reveal the “silky!”
Try these tips to maintain skin so irresistibly smooth skin, it will have you feeling like you traded in your skin for a newborn’s…and go ahead and “stroke, baby, stroke!”
