Beautiful legs: The quick summer beauty program

Are you also really looking forward to summer? In Germany, a "normal" summer has almost become a miraculous event. But when you stand in front of the mirror and look down at yourself, it doesn't quite look the way you'd like it to? Never mind, because we have the super "cheat plan" for beautiful legs on offer.

This is how we like to go to the beach or stroll through the city: with beautiful, lightly tanned legs

In other words: (untrained) legs look slimmer in an instant when they are lightly tanned. That's why self-tanner is now one of our best friends. A little shimmer on the shins makes them look slimmer. Depilation should be a matter of course - how is entirely up to you. Then it's time to "show off your feet", because only if they are well-groomed and your nails are painted will your new sandals really look good.

Removing corns: how to get rid of those annoying pressure points

Firming and tightening

For most women, the thighs are the biggest "leg problem zone": cellulite alert! We can get rid of these unsightly dents with the right diet (low sugar, low fat, no alcohol, no soft drinks etc.), exercise and a few supportive skin care creams. Also helps against orange peel skin: Alternating showers and plucking massages.

Gentle hair removal

Hair on your legs? We don't want that. They have to go - no matter which method we choose. Shaving is the most practical: painless and quick. Shavers that you can move back and forth are brand new. Of course, the result is more effective and long-lasting with your epilator or wax. Important in any case: always apply a good cream afterwards, preferably with nourishing products that prevent ingrown hairs.

Take care of your feet

No beautiful legs without presentable feet! Expensive pedicure? You don't need one. You can also do it at home. After a relaxing foot bath, remove the softened calluses with a foot file or a plane (if you don't have that much time, "just" exfoliate). Then apply a good coat of cream, but be sure to degrease your nails before applying polish, otherwise it won't last.

Clever tricks

Cheesy white on the beach? Oh, nope. It doesn't have to be. Please stay away from tanning salons, they are really unhealthy (there is a risk of skin cancer and premature ageing). We prefer to cheat with self-tanning. The latest formulas are not only super easy to use (mousse, wipes), they also no longer smell unpleasant - on the contrary. And a little shimmer also makes you look slimmer. Ha!

Work out well

In the gym, it's the "abs, legs and bums" classes that are most beneficial for a sexy summer body. But you can also do a lot for fitness and a firm body in everyday life: Why not cycle to work, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or get off the bus one stop earlier and walk the rest of the way. Booked a club vacation during the vacations? Great, then do a few courses and snack on fruit instead.
