Smooth and supple skin on the legs can be realized utilizing natural oils and tonics that stimulate skin health and promote radiance. This can be done in a relatively short amount of time. At home treatments and topical healing applications done consistently, will reveal smooth legs, radiant skin and will boost your confidence. By cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing your skin with simple ingredients, you will improve the look of your legs.
Step 1
Cleanse the skin all over the legs with one cup ground oatmeal and water. For dry skin conditions, use whole milk instead of water to create a paste. Whole milk has fat lipids that offer skin pH balance and moisture, while oatmeal has nutritional content and cleansing properties, as noted by Laura Cummins with PioneerThinking.com. Rinse the paste off after the legs have been cleansed.
Step 2
Exfoliate the feet and rough areas of the legs with wheat germ from your local supermarket. Rinse the wheat germ off the skin with lukewarm water after the dry areas have been thoroughly scrubbed. Wheat germ is high in natural proteins, vitamins and other nourishing ingredients. The subtle, granular texture will smooth away dead skin and roughness while stimulating healthy cell turnover and regeneration.
Step 3
Apply plentiful amounts of organic honey to the bumpy or rough areas of the legs. Leave the honey on the skin for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove with lukewarm water, and pat the skin dry with a clean towel. Organic honey is considered a humectant, which means it helps the skin retains moisture and balance, as mentioned at HoneySkinCare.com.
Step 4
Smooth fresh aloe vera gel all over the legs once or twice per week, especially on the knees, ankles and the backs of the thighs. Leave this gel on the skin to dry. Aloe vera is famous for its hydrating, detoxifying and soothing properties that aid skin repair and boost skin radiance. Purchase a live aloe plant if possible to have fresh aloe vera gel on hand for weekly applications.
Step 5
Mix seven to 10 drops of grade A, lavender essential oil with an almond, hazelnut or apricot carrier oil. Lavender, which is naturally antiseptic, anti-fungal, and antibacterial, is very hydrating when incorporated into a natural, pH balanced carrier oil, comments Laura Cummins, with PioneerThinking.com. Apply this soothing oil mixture to get smooth, beautiful skin on your legs.
