How to Get Really Smooth Legs and Keep Them Smooth
Dry legs, irritated skin and sprouting hair: Silky smooth legs can sometimes seem like a fairytale. But hair removal on the legs can be easy, effective and long-lasting if you know how. Here you‘ll find the best tips and tricks so you can find the most suitable method for yourself.
The Classic: Depilating Legs by Shaving
To keep your legs smooth after shaving and protect your skin from skin irritation and scratches, you can use an electric shaver such as the SatinShave Advanced Ladyshave from Philips. It has a flexible shaving foil that perfectly adapts to the contours of your legs. This guarantees a close contact with the skin and a close yet gentle shave. Whether you prefer to use it in the bath tub or for a dry shave, is up to you. Tips: You’ll get the smoothest results if you make sure that the shaving head is in full contact with your skin. Work slowly from ankle to knee against the hair growth. You don’t need shaving foam with an electric shaver like the SatinShave Advanced however a mild body lotion that moisturises your skin helps regenerate your skin after hair removal for silky smooth legs.
Shaving is an unbeaten classic among the hair removal methods for legs. Why? Because you can take care of it quickly and cost-effectively in the shower. But because your leg hair will grow back in a day or two, you have to shave regularly if you hold your smooth legs dear, and this can irritate your skin .
Grabbed by the root: Waxing, Sugaring and Epilating Legs
The gentler alternative for hair removal on the legs is epilation. The Satinelle Prestige Epilator for example pulls your hair out with special ceramic discs that protect the skin and makes epilating more comfortable. The integrated SkinStretcher attachment stretches your skin while epilating and thus makes for immaculately smooth legs. Tips: Make epilating even more comfortable by taking a warm shower beforehand. The exfoliation brush of the Satinelle Prestige also helps you to cleanse and calm your skin and open the pores before epilating. You’ll get the best results if your hair is less than 4 millimetres long. Epilate wet skin slowly against the hair growth. To soothe the skin after epilation, you can stimulate it with the massage head of Satinelle Prestige. Make sure to exfoliate and moisturise after to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs and keep your legs smoother for longer.
These three methods remove your leg hair from the root. Before new hair can grow, new roots have to be formed, which means two to three weeks of smooth legs without stubble! But the fun won’t always last long as wax and sugar paste are directly applied to the skin, which means the upper layer of the skin can be damaged during hair removal.
