Eight Tips For Getting Sexy Legs

Get More Steps In Each Day

Drink Plenty Of Water

If you want to condition and shape up your legs a little bit more, one of the easiest ways to do it is to get more steps in. Aim to walk as far and wide as you can each day, even going out of your way to take the stairs and park further away than you usually do. All of these steps add up - you might feel silly at first, but it’ll really help you. Not only will your legs shape up, you’ll enjoy the plethora of other benefits you get from getting plenty of steps each day, such as feeling happier and better long term health!

If you lead a relatively sedentary lifestyle, try starting a walking regimen with a goal of 6,000 steps a day. Each week (or month, depending on your goals), try to increase your steps by 1,000. There are lots of inexpensive, efficient fitness trackers out there that can help you track your progress.
​
It can be tough to get steps in each day if you have a desk job, but sitting for a prolonged period of time has it's health risks.  If you don't have or want a gym membership, consider purchasing a treadmill or stationary bike for home use to help you get steps in while you binge watch the next hot Netflix show!
​

It's well known that water helps to flush your body of toxins and clear your skin, but did you know it also:

• Helps with to reduce swelling of the legs.  When your feet and ankles begin to swell it may sound illogical to start drinking more water, but doing so will help your body to  mobilize fluids and reduce the swelling. Do your best to sip water throughout the day, keeping a reusable water bottle handy.

​

• Helps reduce muscle cramps and leg pains.  Clearly not cosmetic, but certainly worthy of bonus points for getting your 64 ounces in, especially if you're older and more susceptible to dehydration. Drinking water can reduce pain in your joints by keeping cartilage soft and hydrated. This is actually how glucosamine helps reduce joint pain, by aiding in cartilage’s absorption of water.

Exfoliate Regularly

Invest In A Quality Razor

Exfoliating your skin helps to keep it smooth and glowing, You get rid of nasty dead skin cells that can make legs and the rest of your body rough, and you help to keep the blood flowing as it should be. You may even find a reduction in things like cellulite and stretch marks with regular exfoliation. Coffee scrubs are fantastic for this, and give almost an instant shine and glimmer to the skin. You won’t believe how smooth and soft they feel afterwards, either!

DIY Coffee Scrub

• 1 C. freshly ground coffee, finely ground
• 1 C. brown sugar
• 1 C. coconut oil, melted
• ​2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Mix the coffee and brown sugar together in a bowl.  Add the coconut oil and vanilla extract, stir to combine.

Store in an airtight glass container and keep in the fridge.  Will keep for about 2 weeks.

There’s nothing worse than having razor burns and other uncomfortable nicks and scrapes on your legs from using a low quality razor. The best thing you’ll ever do (if you prefer shaving as a form of hair removal, that is) is to invest in a great razor. There are razor subscriptions you can look at that will deliver a new, high quality razor to your door as often as you like so that you don’t always run out and then end up using a blunt one or rushing out to buy another terrible one.

Each hair removal method has their pros and cons. Waxing can be good for exfoliation and perfectly smooth legs for around a week, but it doesn’t last all that much longer and some people find it too painful. Then there are permanent hair removal methods, but you have to be in those for the long haul! 

If you must shave, make sure you’re doing it with a high quality razor, as well as a great shaving cream or foam. Be extra careful if you have sensitive skin. Go slow!

Moisturize Every Day

Try A Targeted Beauty Product

Make sure you keep your skin shiny and smooth by using a nice moisturizer each day. You have plenty of choices depending on your skin type and the level of moisture you’d like to achieve.  Personally, I like to use an in-shower moisturizer (along with a moisturizing body wash), which makes it an easy-peasy no brainer.

When you’re ready to leave the house, apply a little oil to your legs for a healthy shine. They’ll have a sexy sheen that lasts and they’ll look extra smooth too!

If you have specific problems with your legs that you’d like to target, do your research before trying any special beauty products. Products like Venorex claim to get rid of spider veins, but you need to make sure you take your time and read up to ensure you’re using something safe, as well as spending your cash on something that actually works. There are creams that claim to get rid of cellulite and tighten your legs, when all they really do is moisturise. Don’t be drawn in by marketing scams. Make sure something actually has a chance of working first.

​

Our last tip?  Wear heels more often!  You don't have to learn how to teeter on stilettos to get a sexy silhouette--a slight heel like a kitten heel or wedge will do the trick.  Not only will your legs look more defined, you'll tone and shape them while looking stylish and sexy, too!
