WHAT’S NOW & HOW TO DO IT...

SHOW-OFF LEGS

THERE are no excuses! It’s time to ditch the black opaques and get your legs out for spring.

If the thought fills you with horror, don’t panic. What you need are fast-working rescue remedies to make your legs smoother and glossier.

Exfoliation is a must before hair removal, and it makes it easier for tanning and toning products to be absorbed.

Michaella Bolder, a St Tropez skin finishing expert, says: ‘Use a rough mitt and an exfoliator, such as Sanctuary Spa Body Scrub (below left, £7, boots.com) to kick start cell turnover and stimulate the circulation.’

Moisturising is the key to glossier legs, so slather it on twice a day. Once your legs are hair-free and smooth, add a veil of colour.

For ease, glide on This Works Perfect Legs Sculpt & Shine (middle, £28, thisworks. com), a handy roll-on which produces a subtle golden shimmer.

Or if you want a sunkissed look that lasts longer, try the St Tropez Self Tan Watermelon Infusion Mousse (left, £26, boots.com). You’ll look as if you’ve just been to the beach!
