Skincare issues like fine lines, pigmentation and dullness can pretty much occur anywhere. If you don’t pay good attention to the rest of your body as you do to your face, you are letting these issues go unchecked. There’s always so much spoken about skincare for the upper body parts. But if you are specifically looking for smoother, shinier limbs, we might have something for you to read and practice.

– A gentle scrub: If you are someone who likes to use a physical exfoliant, you can pick a brush that is soft or a finely milled scrub. When it comes to scrubbing your skin, less is more. As your skin is delicate, you should only be using a scrub once or twice a week. If you happen to make a scrub at home to achieve smooth skin on your legs, sugar or salt are the popular ingredients that you can use.

– Dry brushing: Dry brushing is another technique that will exfoliate your skin. It increases blood circulation and boost lymphatic drainage. Brushing the skin regularly helps in stimulating the normal lymph flow within the body and it also helps the body detoxify itself naturally.

– Shaving: Waxing or laser hair treatments can give you smoother skin in the long run. But it might not be convenient for all skin types. If you are shaving, exfoliate the skin first in order to prevent ingrown hair. You can use a high-quality razor to make it easy for your shaving process. Using a good quality shaving cream that acts as a barrier will also greatly help.

– Moisturise: One of the most important things to remember is to not overdo scrubbing as it will damage the skin barrier. Always make sure that you follow exfoliation with a good amount of moisturiser. This step is crucial to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Try to lock moisture in your skin by massaging a cream while it is still damp.
