please help me and my appalling milk bottle legs - revealed in all their horror tonight in a new pink short skirt - argh!! naturally i was not totally unaware of the situation, it being (sort of) summer an' all, but i rarely dare to wear a short skirt without the blessed camouflage of tights and boots...this is a major and possibly very short-lived departure for me. i really can't wear tights (or indeed boots) in august, surely. therefore (this seemed logical to me at the time, about half an hour ago) i emptied a half tube of ancient foundation onto the palms of my hands and smeared away. think 1940s cold tea-bags...i felt a bond with my war-time sisters as i went to work...
anyway, it's actually had a reasonably good effect
but
SURELY there is a product that is actually designed to do this job?!
[i can't face self-tan - unless there are new, idiot-proof, non-yellowing, non-blotching ones on the market for low-maintenance types such as myself]
suggestions welcome!!!

I got some Sally Hansen stuff in Boots recently (think it's called airbrush legs?) and it is v. good.

Hasn't rubbed off on my clothes and made my legs look good for long enough for me to stop worrying about them.

Not cheap though (9.95?) but cheaper than foundation and endless pairs of tights.

Don't say SEVEN... My previous name was haventsleptforayear... but that went out of date.

DS2 is now 3.5. We have the occasional full night's sleep but there's always someone wanting something (water, wee, cuddle, teddy etc.)

Sorry, rant over, hope the Sally hansen works for you!

Avon do one. It's skin so soft perfect legs I think.
