How to improve the appearance of legs and how to tan pale legs in winter?

Spray tights, self-tanner, bronzing lotion

How to improve the appearance of your legs in winter? Contrary to appearances, for many women, this issue is a major problem. Pale legs look unhealthy and often optically add a few pounds. Although we don't expose our legs to the fresh air in winter, there are occasions when it is necessary. Winter trips to the swimming pool, gym, or sauna, carnival house parties, fairytale December weddings, or Christmas parties – these are events where we forgo tights for bare legs – even in winter.

Pale legs are also a problem for people who don't like wearing tights. Perhaps they simply don't feel comfortable in this item of clothing, can't match it to a dress or skirt, or believe that no tights look as good with a dress as bare legs. Today, I would like to show you a few ways to make your legs look beautiful – even in winter!

Spray tights – a solution for people who don't like traditional tights

Pale legs can be temporarily covered with a fantastic cosmetic, which is spray tights. What are the advantages of using them? First of all, spray tights even out skin tone (eliminating the problem of pale legs) and give it a beautiful, uniform, and healthy shade. They are ideal for "big events" because they act like Photoshop – retouching bruises, hiding spider veins, and covering discoloration. And all of this with the very first application!

How to use spray tights? The best thing about this product is that it gives an immediate effect. At a wedding, you can quickly pop to the bathroom and apply the product to your legs, spreading it evenly. Then just wash your hands thoroughly, and you're done! Spray tights are available on the market adapted to different skin tones, so every one of you will surely find something for yourselves. How to use spray tights to avoid streaks? Because the cosmetic sets, you need to spread the product thoroughly over your entire legs, with quick but decisive movements. If you delay – streaks may unfortunately appear.

Good quality spray tights do not stain clothes, do not run during wear, and do not mark in critical areas (for example, behind the knees). It is worth remembering, however, that spray tights should be applied to smooth and clean skin – ideally, after a moisturizing leg scrub, but without applying any other lotion.

Bronzing lotion – a delicate and natural effect on pale legs

A bronzing lotion gives a different effect than spray tights – it works much more gently and, of course, not immediately. Legs covered with bronzing lotion acquire a healthier color only after a few hours – so it's worth applying it in the evening to enjoy a delicate warming of the skin tone in the morning. How to use bronzing lotion? As with spray tights, before applying the lotion, it is worth thoroughly shaving or epilating your legs and doing a moisturizing scrub (the cosmetic should contain as many natural ingredients as possible so as not to unnecessarily irritate the skin). This will ensure that the bronzing lotion does not leave streaks.

How to use bronzing lotion when you want a more intense effect? Then simply reapply it several times a week (every second or third day). If the color you achieve on your legs seems satisfactory, stop using the bronzing lotion for a few days. Remember that bronzing lotion does not give a very strong tanning effect – it is rather natural, and the skin looks as if it has only been kissed by the sun.

Pale legs? Don't hide them under trousers – opt for bronzing lotion!

How to improve the appearance of your legs with self-tanner?

If you want to get rid of the problem of pale legs in winter, and at the same time make them look dazzling, go for self-tanner. Products in this category currently on the market no longer emit that specific scent that could be detected in self-tanners just a few years ago. Moreover, their formulas have been adapted to a specific skin tone – so there is no fear that the tan will be unpleasantly orange.

How to use self-tanner? This is a product whose use carries the greatest risk of stains or streaks on the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to properly prepare the skin (as described above: shave legs and do a gentle peel). This will make the self-tanner easier to spread. It is also essential to thoroughly spread the product on the skin – it is best to do this in a well-lit room so as not to miss any part of the legs. Self-tanner should be applied particularly carefully where the skin is drier – on the knees or around the feet.

Self-tanner gives a very fast and strong effect after the first use – so it can be used before a wedding, reception, or party. If streaks appear, self-tanner can be removed by peeling (with a cosmetic or a brush with stiff bristles) with the addition of lemon juice.

Self-tanner instead of tights for a big night out? Yes!
