are they spider veins?
why not have them zapped?

Two options:

1.Maxi skirt.

2.Sod what anyone else thinks, nobody will look at your legs anyway (they're probably not as bad as you think they are) so wear what you bloody well want.

Maybe try using the fake tan differently?
I use Clarins gel- I use it 50/50 with moisturiser after exfoliating my legs.

One application takes the paleness off then you can build i t up.

Found Dove/ Johnsons etc etc useless. Always streaked.

I agree that no one will be looking at your legs. Keep them well moisturised and exfoliated and they'll tan naturally soon enough anyway.

God we are a pale lot today! Personally I think all you should aim for is taking the blue off. Any darker and the rest of you doesn't match and looks odd. And for that I use Johnsons holiday skin 50:50 with body lotion every few days. I've never found it streaked but I know lots of people do.

Try Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs spray, its basically spray foundation for legs. It is amazing. It's about £10 a bottle and does my legs about 6 times.

Yes the SAlly Hanson stuff is good but I wouldnt use it veryday. it would bankrupt you for starters. I wore some on my 40th as my dress was v short!

Oooh just came on to this thread to recommend Sally Hansen airbrush and see I have been beaten to it! Lasts me ages though, I wear skirts/dresses every single day during summer, don't own trousers or jeans, yet only used two cans last year?! And still have at least half of the second can.... I have very long legs too. Hmmm. I do only use couple of sprays max per leg though, just to smooth out marks and veins etc on shins and calves, so that's prob why.

Gosh sorry thinking out loud there Blush. Anyhow def get some, it is brill, you will not regret this purchase.
