Smooth knees

Knees work hard and show signs of wear and tear easily. Try dry body-brushing before

you get in the shower. Use The Body Shop Cactus Long Handle Brush, £10, The Body Shop, in long, sweeping strokes from the ankle up to boost circulation and slough rough patches. The skin tissue

on the knee is thinner, meaning it’s more prone to dryness as well as sun damage, which can leave the area looking a little darker than the rest of your legs. Exfoliate regularly to make way for fresh, peachy skin cells, and apply Clarins Body Firming Extra-Firming Cream, £42, John

Lewis & Partners, to boost elasticity

and improve tone.
