Here Skinny’s Secret, we want all of our readers to always feel their best. So that’s why we’re going to tell you how to get the smoothest feet, not just for summer… ALL. FIVE. RING.
Owning smooth, buttery feet can definitely help you feel more confident. Once your legs are in top condition, you won’t even have to think twice about putting on your favorite shorts, skirts and dresses and showing off those hot bodies.
Sometimes it’s hard to get silky smooth feet after every shave. That’s because the leg area doesn’t have as many oil glands as the rest of the body. This leaves the vacuum free of natural moisture.
With minimal moisture, dead skin cells can easily accumulate on your feet, making it difficult to get bright and soft feet. In fact, that dead skin can sometimes leave you with razor bumps, razor burn, and ultimately, uneven skin tone. Thanks, but NO, thanks. NOT good for your foot skin.
So let’s go down to it. Here’s how to get the softest and smoothest feet ever.
How to get smooth feet
♡ Exfoliate your feet.
Exfoliation is the key to smooth skin anywhere on the body, especially the legs. An annoying red pimple on the back of the thigh, celluliteand ingrown hairs are at least partly due to dead skin buildup on the legs and/or lack of good circulation. Hey, it happens!
So if you’re not in the habit of exfoliating regularly, we recommend you start TODAY. Our efforts Make your own body scrub with baking sodaor you can literally use your leftover coffee grounds. (FYI: caffeic acid has some very good anti-aging properties, so don’t skip the coffee grounds method.) Gangster Chic Body Love Exfoliating.
♡ Dry the brush regularly.
If you know Lauryn, you know she’s addicted, like really Addictive, to dry brushing. Dry brushing has many benefits for your skin. It can remove dead skin, remove clogged pores, reduce cellulite and promote better absorption of your moisturizers/lotion. Plus, it just feels so cool and satisfying.
If anyone knows how to dry brush like a pro, it’s Lauryn. So check out her post on dry brush for a complete list of guidelines and tips to get the most out of your dry brushing experience.
♡ Shower with warm/cold water.
We all know there’s nothing like a cool, warm and relaxing shower. BUT, warm water is extremely harmful to the skin. Think dry patches, red & blotchy skin, uneven skin tone, etc. So try to shower with warm or cold water when you can. Shower with cold water Also really good for your hair.
♡ Use a moisturizing shower gel.
We’re here to tell you right now: body wash can stop your feet from becoming the eye-catcher we know. Poor quality shower gel can do more harm than good.
Not only can it disrupt your skin’s natural pH, but it can also cause some serious skin problems and leave your skin dull and dehydrated. No. No no. And not even.
Instead, use a shower gel that helps hydrate the skin. Lauryn love Shower gel for people in need, & lots of other beauty bloggers. If you have very sensitive skin or have eczema, Aderma is a good thing (but always check with your own healthcare provider).
♡ Use a quality shaving cream.
For silky smooth feet you need a GOOD shaving cream. Otherwise, when shaving your legs, you may do more harm than good.
Of course, we recommend TSC . SUNSCREEN CREAM. It’s made especially for women’s skin and doesn’t just give a good gliding feel. It also prepares the skin for shaving and helps reduce razor burn and bump. Not to mention, it’s literally butter and will leave your feet softer than ever. As soon as you put it on your skin will feel protected and nourished.
And for your face and bikini line, you already know we recommend TSC HOT SHAVE RAZOR. It makes hair removal a breeze. If you love shaving cream & razor, be sure to buy both SHAVETTE KIT.
♡ Apply lotion/moisturizer after bathing.
Since vacuums actually produce a lot of natural oils, you need to rehydrate and moisturize your skin after every shower. All. Only. Shower head.
Some of the products we recommend are coconut oil and/or Skin & Senses Body Oil. For best results, apply moisturizer or body cream as soon as you step out of the shower.
♡ Apply body oil on your feet.
Just like you apply facial oil (ICE QUEEN – duh), you must apply body oil to your feet. The body oil will give your feet a boost of hydration to keep them looking tanned, dewy and glamorous all year long.
The ICE QUEEN FACIAL OIL Can double as a body oil. And coconut oil also works with this. Along with the Skin & Senses one mentioned above, check out some of our other products love the beauty & body oils here.
If you’re looking for a super hydrating body oil, choose one with hyaluronic acid.
♡ Stay hydrated.
Dehydrated skin can cause skin to become dull and uneven. This principle applies to the whole body. And yes, even legs.
Drinking plenty of water can help fight acne and improve skin’s overall tone, texture, and elasticity. And, of course, makes your feet look a lot smoother.
If you and water are not absolute best friends, check out this post on how to easily drink more water.
♡ Wear SPF on your feet.
And last, but not least, wear YOUR MASK. A lot of people forget to put sunscreen on their feet or they intentionally do not apply sunscreen to get a better tan. You should always apply SPF sunscreen on your feet. Sagging knee skin at 50? No thanks.
Wearing SPF on your feet protects skin from sun damage, reduces sunburn and flaking, and actually helps your feet maintain a more natural tan. All that promotes soft and smooth feet.
Smooth, sexy legs, here we come.
Ready for feet that look AND feel smooth? If you apply these tips, you will have super soft and sexy feet in no time. It doesn’t matter your skin type, how fast or slow your hair grows, or what skincare routine you already have, these tips are applicable to anyone looking for smooth, supple feet.
