Short Skirts Stressing You Out? Here's How to Make Your Legs Look Flawless

Whether you're battling mosquito bites or cellulite, we've got the answer for you.

By Katharina Lyklar

Summer is arguably the year’s most carefree season, yet keeping legs ready for skimpy skirts and shorts is anything but easy breezy. With that in mind, we hunted down every essential to get our legs looking smooth, soft, and glowing from now til the year's end.

Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliator

Most body exfoliators either aren’t scrubby enough to remove rough skin or they leave you feel like you’ve taken a sheet of sandpaper to your calves. This one, however, strikes the right balance of super gentle and super exfoliating.
BUY FROM: Macy’s, $28

Proraso Shaving Soap in a Bowl Sensitive Skin Formula


Sure, you can squirt out a dollop of shave foam from a can, slap it on your legs before shaving and be done with it, but going old school with a shaving soap and brush feels a lot more luxurious and gives a far smoother, far better shave.

BUY FROM: Sephora, $10

Venus Swirl Razor with 5 Refill Blades

A troupe of four blades gives the closest shave possible in a single sweep. And since these razors are refillable, they’re leagues less eco-hostile than your standard disposable.

BUY FROM: Jet, $37.06

Alba Very Emollient Body Lotion

This gentle lotion manages to leave skin hydrated without fragrances that can trigger post-shave flare ups.

BUY FROM: Target, $10.99

Soap and Glory Sit Tight Super Intense 4D Firming + Smoothing Body Serum

No cream will permanently rid you of dimples, but this serum does a pretty remarkable job of moisturizing skin and minimizing surface puff responsible for casting cellulite’s lumps and bumps in high definition.

BUY FROM: Walgreens, SALE $19.20 (Regularly $24, 20% Off!)

Jergens Natural Glow 3 Days to Glow Moisturizer

This cream isn’t nearly as fun as a three-day escape to the tropics, but it leaves skin looking just as perfectly bronzed—minus the sun’s aging rays.

BUY FROM: Ulta, SALE $8.99 (Regularly $9.99, 10% Off!)

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Shimmering Dry Oil

The quickest of fixes, this shimmer-oil gives legs a bronzy glow without leaving them feeling greased up.

BUY FROM: The Body Shop, SALE $15.40 (Regularly $22, 30% Off!)

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

If there were an Instagram filter for legs, this would be it. Mist it on to create a perfectly even coverage that disguises everything from spider veins to bruises.

BUY FROM: Target, $9.79

Charlotte Tilbury Supermodel Body Highligher

One upping a standard leg camouflaging product, this one adds a luminizer into the mix leaving legs smooth and glowing.

BUY FROM: Charlotte Tilbury, $65

Dermablend Leg and Body Makeup

No matter how many tasty mosquitoes find you, you can hide the evidence (if not the itch) by daubing this waterproof concealer onto bites.

BUY FROM: Ulta, $33
