How To Get Rid Of Dry Flaky Skin On Your Legs

Who doesn't want beautiful legs; soft, silky, legs that look great weather you're going to the beach, out on the town, or just running around with your capris or shorts? I certainly do.

If that is your desire, you've come to the right place. Read on to discover the secret for taking your legs from dull, dry, and flaky, to soft, shimmering, smooth as silk legs.

What Causes Dry Flaky Skin On The Legs?

The cause of dry flaky skin on the legs is usually caused by hot shower, harsh soaps, cold or dry weather, sun damage and overbathing. However, it can also be caused by shaving, eczema, psoriasis, hygiene habits, lack of hydration and more.

You have the ability to improve the condition of your legs by exfoliation, moisturizing and practicing year round self-care and sun protection.

Instructions:

Cleanse Your Skin

Wash your legs in the shower with your favorite body wash.

Exfoliate Your Legs

Exfoliating your legs will help remove the dry skin build up. The best exfoliation for this is Empress of Pearl's Superpower Pearl Powder.

Make Your Scrub

In a small bowl or cup, make a scrub my mixing 2 tsp. powder with a few drops of water or milk to make a paste. You can also add 2 tsp crushed guava leaves to the powder, then the water or milk. Oatmeal works well also.

This provides a gentle and effective exfoliation that buffs away dead skin cells, leaving your legs feeling soft and smooth.

Apply To Your Legs

Apply the mixture to your legs and in a gentle, circular motion massage the mixture into your skin. Focus on dry or rough areas like your knees and ankles. Avoid applying too much pressure.

Let sit on your legs for approximately 5 minuets. Then rinse the scrub off in the shower with warm (not hot) water.

Note: Rinsing it off while bathing in warm water is much healthier for your skin.

Long showers or baths and hot water remove your skin's natural oils. Limit bathing to no more than once a day and no longer than 5-10 minutes. Limit exfoliation to no more than once a week to prevent irritation. Do not exfoliate if you have any cuts, sunburn, or broken skin on your legs.

Moisturize Your Legs

This is where the magic comes in.

Immediately after rinsing and drying your legs, apply Silk Peptide Cream. This cream imparts luxurious slip and glide, while boosting moisture binding abilities, increases absorption, and gives even the driest skin the look and feel of a lasting supple, silken sheen.

Conclusion:

It is possible to be rid of the itching, peeling, cracking and dry skin on your legs and have beautiful soft, silky, smooth legs once again by following the instructions above.

Now go out and show off those gorgeous, shiny, shimmering, hydrated legs.
