2. Shaving Now that you have exfoliated, why not enjoy the soft skin by removing unwanted hair? While shaving is a pretty easy task, a few easily implemented things can make the results all better. As mentioned before, showering with lukewarm water is better for your skin as it will open up your pores and prepared them perfectly.
Shaving after exfoliation is excellent for softer results. Make sure to use a generous amount of shaving cream and to rinse the blade properly to avoid cuts. Rinse your legs with cold water to close up your pores.
3. Make the Most of Your Time Make the most of your time in the water by unwinding while you clean. While showers are quick and easy, if you want to relax and give your skin that extra TLC, soak in the tub to make your skin supple and touchable. Add bath oil to the tub; it will absorb into skin to give it a nourished, moisturized glow.
4. The Final Step One of the most important things you can do to keep your skin soft and healthy is to moisturize. However, if you moisturize while still in the steam in the bathroom, your skin will absorb better. Gently pat skin rather wiping excess water off as it will help the skin retain most of the moisture from the bath or shower. Then apply lotion or body oil while you’re still dewy as your pores are still open and your skin is still moist. For summer, body oil is especially suitable for summer because it provides you with a healthy sheen when you are wearing those sundresses and short shorts.
“Love the Skin You’re in” As cliché as it might sound, you really must take care of your skin – you have to spend your whole life in it, you might as well be comfortable! Healthy skin is worth more than all the makeup, fancy dresses, and sky high heels you can own. It is one of your sexiest assets, so take care of it. Make sure to exfoliate, remove all dead skin, and to moisturize daily. Also, while tanned skin is coveted, it is also unhealthy.
Spending hours in the hot summer sun is extremely damaging to skin; sunscreens don’t prevent you from tanning, but they do help prevent some of the damage that comes with it, so make sure you are always protected with at least SPF 30. If you really must have a tan, then invest in daily gradual tanning moisturizers – they have great ones from Estee Lauder, Clarins, and Nivea – and they will not give you that detested orange hue. Last but not least, don’t forget to show off that healthy skin!
