DIY SKIN SMOOTHER FOR SILKY SOFT LEGS

Hey guys!! So another week has just crossed us by, hope you guys have had or are styll having a good long weekend! My long weekend comes to a veryy sad end today  

But what makes me sooper happy is this DIY that i happened to stumble upon on leg exfoliantion.. who knew we were supposed to exfoliate your legs rightt? well i atleast did not, I always assumed that the very act of shaving your legs was exfoliating in itself.  Oh silly me! 

But I do now!  And although I feel like I’ve been missing out all these years….I couldn’t be happier about discovering this stuff! After using it this morning I would venture to say my legs have never felt softer OR smoother!  (No kidding!!)

SUPER SILKY LEGS

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup oil (I used olive oil, but you can use any oil, coconut oil, baby oil, canola oil, etc.)
• 3 tablespoons citrus juice (lemon or lime) 

• Razor.

Mix everything together. I put mine in a mason jar and just shook it all up. (If you take the glass jar into the bath or shower with you, please be extra careful.)

Soak your legs in the tub for 5 minutes. Or if you’re taking a shower, wash and conditioner your hair first, then after your legs have had a chance to soak for a few minutes, apply the mixture to your legs and rub it in. I was surprised at how GOOD this felt! I ended up using it on my feet and arms as well!

The abrasiveness of the sugar rubs off all the dirt and dead skin, the lemon juice works as a mild skin peel revealing brighter, smoother skin and of course the olive oil penetrates deep into the skin and provides long-lasting moisture.

After rubbing the mixture in for a few minutes, its time to shave your legs... Feels pretty good huh?? Well........ we're just getting started!!

Now, rinse and REPEAT! Yep, do it again. Rub mixture all over legs (and feet!)…shave….and rinse again. This time you might want to use a mild soap to get some of the oil off. Or not. Your preference. (Note: make sure the bottom of the shower is oil-free when you are done so the next person in doesn’t get a slippery surprise. Since I used body wash after shaving, mine was fine.)

When you get out of the bath or shower, put lotion on and enjoy your silky smoooooooth legs!  I guarantee you will be so amazed at how soft your skin feels, you won’t be able to keep your hands off yourself! ;-)

TREAT YOURSELF FROM HEAD TO TOE

Every girl deserves a bit of pampering -- but you don't have to jet to the spa for lavish treatments. Here are some of our very favorite DIY beauty tips and tricks in which to indulge from the comfort of your own home.

SOFT SOLES

Feet are so often neglected, but there's nothing attractive or comfortable about dry, rough soles. For a great at-home treatment, fill a bowl with some hot water and soap or a foot-soak treatment, and soak those tired dogs. This will help soften your soles so they're easier to buff with your favorite buffer or cream. Follow by slathering your feet with some Vaseline. Put on some socks and leave them on overnight. You'll awake with the softest tootsies ever.

PUFFY EYES

Just because you're an early riser doesn't mean your eyes love mornings, too. A quick solution: Cold spoons. Keep some spoons chilled in the refrigerator or pop one in the freezer when you awake. Press the spoon against your closed eyes to help relieve puffiness.

DARK CIRCLES

Everyone has seen a picture of a woman relaxing with cucumber slices on her eyes. That's because cucumbers help reduce inflammation and decrease swelling. You can put cukes on your cheeks and other puffy areas, too. Green tea bags also work well in reducing puffiness.

LONG-LASTING POLISH

Finding that your favorite nail polish has turned into a goopy, clumpy mess is frustrating. Heat exposure is the culprit here, so make your nail polish last longer by keeping it in the fridge.

THE POWER OF LEMON

Lemon's so versatile, it's insane. For instance, you can soften rough patches on your elbows and knees with a lemon half applied for about 10 minutes. The acidity in the lemon exfoliates rough skin and even helps lighten dark areas. You can also use lemon juice to whiten fingertips and nails; just soak your fingers in some lemon juice for a few minutes and follow with moisturizing
