Dry skin on your legs: what are the solutions?
If, after a shower, you feel that the skin on your legs feels tight and rough, there is no doubt that they are experiencing dryness. Fortunately, there are many solutions available to restore their softness. We'll help you make sense of it.
Dry skin is a common skin concern. It is constant and does not just affect the face. The rest of your body is also affected. Like your legs for example.
The problem is that, in addition to factors that are difficult to control (such as age or genetics), there are other factors that contribute to dry legs.
So perhaps you have prepared for this dryness without knowing it. Overly hot showers and baths tend to dry out the skin. Cosmetics that are not adapted to your skin (such as overly high PH soaps) also have a negative impact. Just as frequent waxing or shaving of the legs can cause dryness and associated irritation.
In order to protect the skin on your legs every day, a “beauty” routine will help restore suppleness and softness:
I always apply my moisturising balm after my shower. It spreads faster and more easily, and I don’t need much of it.
Do you believe that if you have dry skin, you should avoid exfoliating so as not to dry the skin further? This is a common misconception. Instead, gently exfoliating your skin will help to remove dead skin, smooth and refine skin texture, while hydrating the skin. To do this, apply your product once or twice a week in the shower. Massage gently, concentrating on thicker areas such as the knees and heels, then rinse thoroughly.
They are often overlooked, yet your feet deserve your full attention. To prevent dryness and hard skin, don't neglect your heels. And to prevent cuticles from developing, moisturise your nails and toes every day.
