There’s nothing more motivating than a sexy LBD you want to debut at a party to get you those modelesque gams you’ve always wanted. Here’s our checklist of everything you need to be dress-ready for spring.

1. Your Legs, , Toned and Sexy—n ow!

2. The Beauty Regime to Follow A little at-home therapy is all you need to be a shameless leg show-off in no time.

DO A SERIOUS SCRUB Unless you exfoliate first, even the best moisturise­r r can’t do its job. Our skin becomes drier because the bottom layer doesn’t regenerate as frequently. Exfoliatio­n strips away flakes on top, allowing fresh cells to come to the surface.

SOFTEN IN THE SHOWER Get a head start on hydration with the latest generation of body washes—cream oils. These are usually a mix of glycerin, oils, and petrolatum; they cleanse and soften all at once. Cleansing can strip moisture from the skin, but cream oils have been shown to improve skin’s moisture content after washing.

MOISTURISE! MOISTURISE! MOISTURISE! Dry skin is unhealthy skin. Well-hydrated skin provides a better barrier to the environmen­t and it makes legs look smoother and prettier too. There’s nothing like a good lotion to keep your skin happy, shining and smooth.
