Perfect. Summer. Legs.

Thanks Lordy that summer is HERE! I think we've all been waiting far too long :) So, I did a video on how to get great summer legs! I promised I would do a blog post on all the benefits, etc., so here it is!!
The Video
Exfoliating is KEY! It's so important to do this before/after shaving, show you slough of the dead skin cells and also prevent getting ingrown hairs... ouch! So yeah. It actually removes all that dirty top layer of skin, revealing fresh, new skin that is brighter and more vivid.
Lemon Juice is a natural bleach! I'm sure many of you have tried using it in your hair to lighten it, and thats exactly what happens when you let it penetrate through your skin! It also is a natural bacteria killer, so any cuts you have will get sterilized. It can also help your acne!
Mustard Oil: It is a good source of Zinc, Vitamin A, Iron, and more! The seeds also have calcium, protein, comegaAlpha-3/6 and antioxidants which improve your skin. You can also do more research on this!
Moisturize!: If you don't moisturize, this whole this is pretty much going to waste! It locks in all the moisture! You want something with either shea or cocoa butter, which is very moisturizing. If your skin is irritated from the lemon/exfoliating (it shouldnt be unless you have EXTREMELYEXTREMELY sensitive skin), then consider putting on aloe or another soothing cream. I also highly recommend using SUNSCREEN or lotion with a high SPF, as exfoliating does make the skin more perceptive/sensitive to sunlight, Some girls, like me, tend to turn black instead of golden in the sun, so my knees do the same.

I hope this works for you guys! If you guys like DIYS and these blogposts, then let me know! I really enjoy doing them! Alrighty, well have fun and email me pics of what your legs turn out to look like!

HUGE LOVE AND LOTS OF HUGS! -Uma
