Monthly-must: Perfect-pins

monthly must perfect pins

With spring turning to summer, legs no longer have to be under wraps. Whether you have super long legs like Cameron Diaz, curvy and shapely a la Kelly Brook or small and petite like Kylie Minogue (we wish!), it's time to get them prepped, polished and preened so they are worthy of the skimpiest skirt and hottest bikini this season.

Scrub up

Restore the glow and shine back into limbs buy investing in some dry body brushing. First thing before or after a shower, use a bristled body brush, which will stimulate circulation and get rid of dead skin cells. Start at the soles of feet and work your way up in long, circular motion from toes up to thighs and bum. It's a daily habit that will guarantee sexy smooth skin!

In the shower, exfoliate with a trusty exfoliator like L'Oréal Paris Exfotonic with AHAs to smooth uneven skin, particularly on problem areas like backs of thighs and arms, knees and elbows.

Say goodbye to cellulite

Out the shower, you can indulge in some cellulite busting treats to get legs really summer-worthy. Massage problem areas with body brushes to stimulate help reduce bumpy, cellulite skin.

Follow this quick and easy massage action with some nourishing body cream that also doubles up as a silhouette shaper, because there's nothing like a bit of beauty multi-tasking. L'Oréal Paris NutriLift Anti-dryness and Firming Cream, £4.99 will moisturise, smooth and firm skin.

Fake tan

Now that legs have been given some seriously smoothing treats, it's time to turn up the colour and apply some faux tan that will transform them from bland to babe. Use a daily build-up of a lighter tan to avoid streaky mishaps. New Garnier Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer now has dry mist technology that doesn't require rubbing in and covers skin evenly, £9.99. Available in two shades to suit lighter and darker skins, it will veil legs with a subtle and sun-kissed glow.

Polish up

Now that legs are looking superstar sexy with radiant glow, it's time to turn your tootsies into hot and sexy sandal wearers. Remove any old nail polish that's been lurking on nails during for the past few months and treat toes to a bit of a nail filing and exfoliating with a foot file.

Next apply a protective base coat which is a must to protect against any staining from this season's bright and bolshy colours. Maybelline New York new Salon Manicure range means you can care for your nails at home but in professional, salon style. The Ultra Strong 3 in 1, £3.99 is a triple action product designed to help protect, nourish and strengthen nails.

Now the fun part. Brights and neons were everywhere on the catwalk, so forget neutral colours as shades are hotter and zingier than ever this summer. L'Oréal Paris Resist & Shine UV Colour Protect nail polish, £4.99, has a UV filter technology to protect against colour and shine fading. Be sure to check out the very sexy Sanguinello and Fusion Red to get you in the mood for summer or some Cyclamen for some on-trend lilac.
