FACE MISTS THAT ARE TOTALLY WORTH YOUR MONEY

It took me a minute to come around to face mists, which—let's be honest—may appear to be nothing much more than atomized H20 to many of you. In short, a total waste of time and money. But hear me out: the ones you’ll see here are brimming with skin-loving ingredients, calming Rosewater, and even water from the French Alps. Just ONE spritz on my just cleansed and bare face was enough to change my life (and skin) forever. How you ask? Well...it instantly makes me feel revived, comes to my rescue at work when all I want to do is a nap after lunch and cools, soothes and hydrates my complexion when I need a midday pick-me-up. Ahead, a bunch of facial mists that you are bound to love: 1. AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER Think of it as water, but with supernatural powers. It’s packed with skin-softening silicates and has a balanced dose of Calcium and Magnesium that work together to improve skin's texture and strengthen its barrier. Plus, its pH level of 7.5, ma

7 STEPS TO STUBBLE-FREE LEGS: HOW TO REMOVE HAIR FROM YOUR LEGS

-



Unwanted hair is a pain. Especially with a sexy LBD in the closet, no time to visit the salon and hairy legs staring back at you. Fret not, a razor, and a few other everyday items can transform your outer ‘damsel in distress’ into a chic diva. 



Just follow these few simple steps for hair removal, and sport the smoothest gams in the room.


Step 1

Exfoliate


Take some normal body scrub—even face scrub will do—on a loofah and gently exfoliate your legs to remove dead skin and open up your pores. This will scrub open ingrowths, so you get the smoothest shave possible. We like using The Body Shop Peppermint Reviving Pumice Foot Scrub or Natio Orange Blossom Sea Salt Scrub. Be sure to use warm water to open up pores and soften skin for better exfoliation.





Step 2

Prep Your Skin


After you’re done exfoliating, slather body oil or baby oil (even hair conditioner will do in a crunch) on your legs. It’s always a good idea to keep some baby oil like Johnson's Baby Oil With Vitamin E or massage oil like Bio-Oil handy. This not just preps your skin, but also ensures your razor runs smoothly over your legs sans nicks and cuts.





Step 3

Foam Up


It’s a good idea to use body wash, not shaving foam, to lather up your legs. Pick a formula with soothing, antibacterial ingredients like Aloe Vera. We highly recommend using the Anatomicals Coffee Buzz Body Cleanser.






Step 4

Get, Set, Shave!


Take a good razor with at least three blades, like our all-time favorite Gilette Venus Razor. The pivoting head reaches every nook and corner for a perfect shave. The exfoliation has already aligned your hair, and the oil massage allows the razor to glide on skin effortlessly. Use quick, short strokes to swish off every hair insight.





Step 5

Wash

After you’re done shaving, wash your legs. Remember to use cold water for the final rinse to close pores. Pat your legs dry.


Step 6

Soothe


Though optional, follow this step if your skin is sensitive and prone to razor burns. A thermal water spray like Avene Thermal Spring Water soothes and calms your pores, and reduces the redness that sensitive skin might have suffered due to the shaving process.





Step 7

Moisturise


Apply a thick layer of body lotion, concentrating on your heels, ankles, and knees, to soften and supple up your shaved skin. You can use one with cooling and soothing key ingredients, or with those additional benefits of SPF, in case you are not the one who slathers an additional layer of sunscreen. We would recommend Lotus Herbals AloeSoft Daily Body Lotion.
