....shave your legs.

The great beauty paradox. Magazines bombard us with ideas about outsourcing our beauty routines: hair colouring, manicures, waxing, eyebrow shaping, cellulite wraps etc, when many of the girls who work on the magazines are so busy (and well informed) that they do actually perform many of these tasks themselves -or they did when I was a beauty editor. While a lot of these treatments have become so cheap it's laughable, there are times when seriously, isn't it just easier to do it yourself?? I mean shaving your legs is surely a snack...all it takes is five simple steps.
1. Shower for 2 mins to hydrate and soften skin.
2. Use a new blade and shaving cream when possible
3. Exert as little pressure as possible - direction not an issue
4. Leave ankles and knees till last, when you're most comfortable with the razor
5. Hydrate your skin as soon as you get out of the shower (within 5 mins) to seal in moisture
