Shaving your legs is a pretty ordinary practice. But sometimes you want to take your leg-care routine to the next level. When that happens, you’ll want to do more than just a quick once-over in the shower beforehand.
It doesn’t matter if you have a beach day or a hot date on the horizon – if you want exceptionally smooth legs to sweeten the occasion, this 6-step routine will give you the sexiest legs possible.
Step 1 – Stay Hydrated
This may seem like a no-brainer, but this step is probably the most important. For healthy, smooth skin that everyone will notice, it’s important that you stay properly hydrated. Hot weather and excess sun can especially dry you out from head to toe. This summer, make it a goal to add extra water into your everyday.
Step 2 – Shave (The Right Way)
When it comes to sexy, smooth legs, it’s important to use a razor that will meet you halfway. Find a multi-blade razor that will easily contour to the curves of your legs. This will not only give you the closest shave possible, but also won’t leave you with unsightly cuts on those tricky spots. Pair a high-quality razor with a rich, nourishing shaving cream for an ultra-luxurious shave.

Step 3 – Exfoliate
Exfoliating your skin is a sure-fire way to leave it feeling silky soft and extra smooth. Find nourishing body scrub will slough off any dead skin cells that are left behind after your shave. Bonus points if your exfoliator smells amazing or contains added extras like caffeine.

Step 4 – Shave Again
While this step isn’t one you’ll want to include every single day, it’s ideal if you’re primping for a special occasion. After you rinse off of your body scrub, shave your legs again. Sure, it’s repetitive and takes a bit of extra time. However, it will make your legs extra smooth while also ensuring sure you didn’t miss any important areas the first time around.
Step 5 – Add Some Oil
Your extra-smooth leg routine doesn’t end when you step out of the shower. After you dry off, use a nourishing body oil to infuse your smooth legs with extra hydration. While a basic body oil will definitely do the trick, consider using a specialty oil instead. Remember, less is more when it comes to body oil – and don’t be afraid to blot off any extra oil if you go a little overboard.

Shaveworks – Pearl Polish Dual Action Body Oil
Step 6 – Moisturize & Mist
Once you’ve gotten dressed in your mini-skirt or short shorts, finish off your legs with a shot of hydration. A luxurious moisturizer acts as an awesome finishing touch and will make your legs touchably smooth. Go the extra mile by using a special moisturizing mist as well. This will sooth your skin and also reduce the chances of getting red bumps or ingrown hairs.
