There is no better feeling than freshly shaved, silky smooth legs after a hot shower. 

Believe it or not, the secret to smooth skin happens during your shower, not after.

Exfoliating is critical to achieving smooth skin that sparkles. You can use the most expensive, high-quality cream on the market but if you don’t prep the skin your results will be nowhere near as great as they could be. 

A must for me is using my organic, all-natural loofah that I purchased in Greece this past summer. Ditch those artificial plastic ones and opt for the real thing. It makes a huge difference and it feels way better on the skin.  

Once you are out of the shower and your skin is soft and warm, immediately apply your favorite body butter. If you are prone to acne or have sensitive skin, make sure your products of choice are not causing in-grown hairs, inflammation,  or greater sensitivity. For acne and sensitive skin, it is best to choose a product with no fragrance. Select a product that will benefit your skin type and improve the condition you are struggling with.

If you live in a warm and sunny climate or are frequently tanning, aloe and a heavy-duty moisturizer are your best friends. Keeping the skin constantly moisturized after being in the sun is crucial to retaining moisture in the skin and creating a longer-lasting tan. 

Lastly, if your feet need an extra boost of hydration, apply a generous layer of cream, then put on a pair of thick socks. Check back in a few hours or after a restful night’s sleep and your feet will be baby smooth.

As always, consistency is key. Stick with this routine for a few weeks and the results will speak for themselves. Give your skin some extra love during the cold and dry winter months or after spending some time in the sun. Your skin will thank you.
