How To: Love your Legs

When the sun comes up and the temperature rises so do the hemlines... Pants become shorts and demure dresses are tossed to the side in favour of flirty skirts. But not all of us love our legs. Whether it's skin discoloration, dryness, razor burn, pale skin, sallow skin, or cellulite there are a number of reasons why we reach for stuffy stockings or sweat out the heat in covering clothing. With a few quick tips and a little confidence you can toss your tights and the ankle-length skirts and hop into the fun little summer dress you've been dying to wear!

1) Get rid of your baggage. Dead skin and prickly hairs can make legs look and feel rough. Exfoliation and hair removal are the fastest ways to get smooth skin -- plus you can kill two birds with one stone by waxing! The warm wax picks up dead skin cells as well as the hairs, revealing fresh, silky skin.

2) Saturate your stems. Hydrating lotions are your best friend. If you're blessed with naturally tanned skin a shimmering lotion can accentuate muscle definition. For the rest of us, an even application of sunless tanner (if you're very pale a gradual tanner is best) followed by shimmering lotion can keep legs looking sunkissed and radiant. By the way -- Tans can help hide any bruises, spider veins or skin discoloration! It can also help conceal cellulite.

4) Gear up your gams. If you're smooth, tanned and glowing but still feel a little insecure why not try a fun anklet? It will take the attention off your legs and can jazz up simple shoes.

Don't forget, the perfect accompaniment to lovely legs are foxy feet. A pedicure polishes off any look!

Pedicures: The Foot Fix

Spring is around the corner and soon all of the shoes that have been hibernating all winter will once again make an appearance. All of your adorable flip-flops and sandals, peep toe pumps and strappy heels are begging you to get a pedicure. Pamper your toes with a fabulous day at the spa! Why not:

-Indulge in one of Skindulgence's Signature Spa Pedicure? It includes:
~ A foot soak, a nail trim as well as a cuticle and callous removal. Followed by a peppermint scrub and an aromatherapy leg and foot massage. Top it all off with a perfect polish application and enjoy a bottle of our signature hand and body lotion to take home with you! Divine!

-But why not baby your feet? Slip into a pair of Free Toes, a brilliant idea by a young entrepreneur from White Rock. They're socks that have no toes so that you can still wear flip flops or sandals without your feet getting cold or mussing up your nail polish.

- Complete the pedicure package with a pair of Flojos, the most comfortable and stylish flipflop on the market. Not only will your feet like fabulous they'll keep your polish smudge free until they've totally dried.

- Don't forget to pick up a bottle of the nail polish you just had expertly applied to your toes so you can do touch-ups on any chipping.

At Skindulgence we believe in pampering yourself top to bottom and we allow you to do just that. Give your feet some love!

Sincerely,

Skindulgence

Free Toes

Introducing Free Toes, the socks that allow your toes to go free!

These funky socks were designed by nine-year-old Katelyn, a young entrepreneur from White Rock, BC.

Free Toes are great for doing yoga or pilates because they keep your feet warm but still allow your toes to grip the mat. They're also ideal for dance class as they allow the heel to spin but keep the toe slip-free!

We think the one of the great uses for them is at the spa: After a pedicure you have to wear flip-flops but with this cold weather that can get chilly. As the photo above demonstrates, Free Toes allow the toes to fit through the sandal but also keep the rest of the foot warm.

Stop by Skindulgence for a pedicure and a pair of Free Toes!

Sincerely,

Skindulgence
