How to Have Perfect Legs

Steps

1. 1
   Learn to maintain your legs. Are you naturally klutzy or do you just fall down a lot? Try to be more careful; falling can not only hurt your legs but also cause bruises, cuts and scars.
   
   
   
2. 2
   Shave your legs as often as needed. Figure out the best and easiest method of hair removal for you. Some people prefer waxing; some like shaving. With the great products now available for shaving, it's easy to find a good shaving gel and a good-quality razor. Be careful about your razor choice; sometimes expensive is better. Some people think it is better to shave at night, because it gives your legs a chance to "wake up."
   
   
   
3. 3
   Use leg makeup if you must, but be cautious as it will transfer to other products. Spray on makeup for your legs is also available. It helps cover up bruises and other imperfections for special events, but is not suggested for daily use.
   
   
   
4. 4
   Talk with a dermatologist if you are concerned about pimples, veins, or any other blemishes on your legs.
   
   
   
5. 5
   Exercise. Working out helps to develop shapely and toned legs. Some basic exercises you can do for great stems include:
   
   
   
   • Jumping (with a jump rope or trampoline)
   • Running/jogging
   • Walking
   • Riding a bike
   • Swimming
   • Stair climbing
   • Aerobics
   • Weight training. Consult a trainer for the correct weights and reps. Usually less weight and more reps will gently build muscle and tone without adding bulk.
6. 6
   Work on your tan for a healthy look but be careful not to go overboard. You don't want your legs to appear darker than the rest of your body. You can tan outside or in a tanning bed, but understand the risks first. You could also use self-tanning spray; many are available, but try several to find one that works for your skin tone. Don't attempt a self-tan before a special occasion as you run the risk of looking orange. Jergens offers options for both fair or medium skin.
   
   
   
7. 7
   Use a scrub. Always exfoliate and wash your legs before shaving them. It helps give them a natural glow from taking off dead skin cells.
   
   
   
8. 8
   Moisturize daily. Lotion will keep your legs soft, smooth and free of flaky skin. It will also help to maintain your tan.
   
   
   
9. 9
   Wear a flattering high heel instead of a stubby-heeled or flat shoe. It gives the legs an elongated look. Make sure you become comfortable in higher heels so you don't appear clumsy. Stilettos also help to improve the look of your bottom.
   
   
   
10. 10
    Wear skirts and flattering shorts that hit your leg in the appropriate place and are the proper length. You don't want anything too short, but you want them short enough to show off your legs. Avoid ankle- and tea-length dresses and skirts, as well as capri pants that narrow at the knees. These items may show off your legs, but they can also make your hips look larger. If you are tall, make sure you buy pants and jeans of an appropriate length to wear with heels.
