If you have dry scaly legs, it is definitely a no no to show off your legs. So let us see what are the tips to make sure than the skin looks hydrated on the legs this cold winter. The first tip is that usually the legs have less oil glands than the rest of the body. So make sure if you are using a body wash on the legs, make sure you are using the body wash as less as possible. Do not use a loofah very regularly as it will end up dehydrating the skin further if possible apply a coconut oil or an almond oil on your legs before the shower. Wait for 10 minutes before you step into your shower. Use lukewarm water instead of hot water to make sure the oiliness of the skin stays intact. Use pH balanced soap free body wash or soaps to maintain the skins hydration. An application of a thick shea butter containing moisturizing creams to make sure the skin stays hydrated throughout the day. Don’t fort to repeat the process at night so that you can wash your feet with warm water and apply a moisturizer a layer before going to bed. Definitely involves some exfoliation of the skin just like you use for your face, use an exfoliation once a week for the legs to make it looking its best this festive season.
