Step 4: Blitz your cellulite
If cellulite worries you, worry ye not, nine out of 10 women have some form of it and the chances are it’s not half
as bad as you think. Damage limitation is always favourable when it comes to the dreaded orange peel, however,
and applying a body oil that harnesses the natural power of essential oils after you’ve moisturised is a great
weapon to have in your leg-prep armoury. Step up: NUXE BODY Huile Minceur Cellulite Infiltree BodyContouring Oil for Infiltrated Cellulite. Granted, its name could be a tad catchier, but this fine oil has been
scientifically and specially formulated to reduce the appearance of cellulite. How? Everlasting flower, cedar,
grapefruit, sesame, macadamia, and hazelnut oils that’s how; all of which are essential oils that stimulate the
body to get rid of toxins by penetrating the root cause of cellulite and breaking down fat cells.

Step 5: Self-tan
There’s no shame in giving your legs a gentle glow out of a bottle to help
them look their best and your self tan (as we now call it; ‘fake tan’ smites
a little of embarrassment, which no responsible tan – artificial or not –
should), will glide on for a flawless finish if you’ve followed steps one to
four. By far the best way to apply your self tan – streak free – is with a
tanning mitt; once your tan is on the mitt, work it over your legs in a
circular motion taking care to go lightly on knees and ankles.
If you’re not au fait with self tan, or prefer a more natural look, we’d
recommend James Read’s Gradual Tan – this guy is a self-tan guru
and even has ‘Tan TV’ how-to videos on his website. His Gradual Tan
Day Tan Body is colourless, so it won’t stain your bed or clothes; can be
used daily to build up a light colour; and is infused with aloe vera and
hyaluronic acid, leaving skin hydrated and ensuring your tan lasts longer
and fades away evenly.
