Legs just seen light of day and Ohhh Nooo!

Put a skirt on for the first time since last September (!) and realised my legs are in a terrible state! Pure white, mottled, hairy and rough! Anyone got some quick fixes to allow me to go out in the skirt? Please don't suggest fake tan as even the lightest shade goes orange on me!

How about gradual tan then? The dove one is a really good moisturiser that sort of evens out manky skin and then the colour builds so that it's more of a sheer glow on first application.

Or those nivea (I think) sunscreen oil sprays. They give my skin a nice sheen.

Or just DGAF. Shave, exfoliate, moisturise, obviously, and they'll look better anyway.

(I'm going for the DGAF option today even though DH complained that I blinded him yesterday Grin)

Body scrub, new razor, shower oil, moisturiser, done. Temporary wash off tanning stuff is best for my paper white legs (st tropez do a good one, in Boots) but usually I just don't bother. It's my skin colour so fuck it.

Elemis frangipani salt glow or Soap & Glory sugar crush scrub are my favourites btw. And I use Aveeno blue top right after shaving as anything else stings and makes the pores go red. Bioderma shower oil is the bees knees.

I wouldn’t bother tbh, the nice weather’s only here until tomorrow. Shave, exfoliate and gradual tan plus coral pink toenails ....in a month or so!
