How to easily get smooth, lightly tanned legs - what’s your routine?

[Lagirl20]

My legs are pale, hairy, dry, and resemble corned beef. I never exfoliated or moisturise or tan them. Please share your tips on how on how to improve them with me!

I’m assuming I should use an exfoliating glove in the shower/bath but how regularly? What’s a good lightweight non-greasy moisturiser? How often should I moisturise? What’s the best natural looking light gradual tanner? I’m desperate to get them looking better this summer.

I do not know, but am following with interest as I have a wedding to go to next weekend and would like not to have the faff of tights.

I use an exfoliating Korean wash cloth (Amazon), shave regularly and use St Tropez gradual tanner every second day. E45 on other days.

Dove gradual tanner is good. I think it's called derma spa? You need the medium/dark one as the fair one does nothing.
Shaving will exfoliate your legs I guess, I use that apricot scrub for my knees and ankles, moisturise the rough bits, then on with the Dove.

Shave or Immac legs. Use exfoliating gloves(about a quid in the cheap shops) with soap on on legs and thoroughly on ankles and knees.
I have tried may gradual tans and found Skinny Tan gradual tan lotion medium by far the best. I apply it before bed, make sure you thoroughly rub it into your skin. It smells okay and does not come off on the bedding. I do this every night or every other night throughout the summer.

I don't really exfoliate but I do body brush on my dry skin before a shower and always moisturise after on damp skin which really does make my skin soft. In fact I notice really quickly if I don't do it for a couple of days I get dry patches. We are in a very hard water area so this probably doesn't help.

As for tanned I'm pale and have never more than occasionally fake tanned, I've recently bought St Tropez and it really does give a nice colour and go on well.

Shave and dove gradual tanner. It's very low maintenance

I have never got on with gradual tanner on my legs, but love This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle. It takes some blending but gives a lovely even colour and light coverage which washes off.

A really good moisturiser after the shower works wonders. I use Palmer's coco butter.

My issue is I have pcos and my hair grows so fast. If I shave I have visible stubble by the afternoon. It looks horrible. If I epilate it's agony and only lasts under a week before I get painful regrowth. I'm currently using home IPL but seeing no improvement so far.
