Spring is here and summer is just around the corner, which means you'll be rocking bare legs and arms all season long as you switch to your summer wardrobe of t-shirts and tanks, shorts and skirts (insert perfunctory SPF reminder here). Here are four essential beauty tips to make sure your legs and arms are as smooth as silk and the products to help you get there.
Finish off with a faux glow
Until the skin on your legs and arms gets used to being exposed to the sunshine again, it’s probably going to feel a little dull and lacklustre. Fake a bronze glow by using a gradual tanning lotion. These products help you to develop a beautiful bronze glow without the dangers of traditional sun tanning (and horrid tanning beds) through the help of the active dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which helps colour the skin that beautiful beach bronze we all want but skip out on for the sake of sun safety. Gradual tanners also allow you to develop a glow over time so it appears more natural and also means you won’t get any ridiculous fake baked looks from overdoing it with an overnight tanner. Add a little firming action to your faux glow with the new Jergens Natural Glow +Firming Daily Moisturizer ($16, available at mass drugstores).
