Continued from How to Get Skinny Legs.
Do you know how to get sexy legs? No, it has nothing to do with losing 10 pounds or any amount of weight for that matter. Of course, if you are overweight and your legs look like a pair of honey-glazed hams, you probably need to lose some weight before you spend your time and money on any other stuff that can potentially make your legs look better.
But if you are not overweight and do not have any plans to lose 20 pounds, and you still have no idea how to get sexy legs, there is no reason to worry, a lot of people seem to be clueless about how to get sexy legs. Personally, I think that it is impossible to figure out how to get sexy legs. Why? Because it is just one of those things – you either have sexy legs or you do not.
But according to a number of experts, there are a number of things you can do to either develop sexy legs or improve your already good looking legs to look even better. So, here is what the experts say about how to get sexy legs no matter what your situation is:
How can you get sexy legs at the gym? By doing barbell squats, of course. If barbell squats are too hardcore for you, do the following: “Stand with feet slightly wider than hip-width apart. Lower your body as if sitting in a chair, till knees are bent about 90 degrees. Leap straight up, raising arms above head. Land gently back in the chair position. Try 3 sets of 12, three times a week,” says Pilates pro Kit Rich.
How to get sexy legs at home Exfoliate to slough off dull, dead skin, then shave. Once legs are dry, apply a body bronzer. “The darker shade helps hide scars and cellulite,” says Victoria’s Secret bronzing pro Meredith Baraf. Dab an illuminating cream from the center of thighs to shins. “The subtle sheen reflects light, making legs look leaner,” says makeup pro Tracy Murphy.
How to get sexy legs at your dermatologist Cellulite makes your legs look old. If you have cellulite on your legs, some experts claim that certain laser treatments can help reduce or even completely eliminate cellulite on your legs. For example, Thermage Comfort Pulse Technology is a new treatment in which high heat is delivered to lower skin layers. It “spurs circulation so dimpling is less noticeable,” says NYC derm Heidi Waldorf. The cost? It is not cheap, we are talking anywhere from $3,500 to $5,000 per session, but hey, can you really put the price on cellulite-free legs?
For some women, cellulite is not a problem, but spider veins are. If you have spider veins on your legs, you might want to try sclerotherapy, in which saline is injected into veins so they collapse and vanish in three to five sessions, says dermatologist David Colbert. The cost? Compared to the laser treatment, $150 per session does not sound too bad.
How to get sexy legs at your local spa I do not know about you, but the combination of sugar and oil makes me dizzy and nauseous, but apparently it is exactly what you need to improve how your legs look. “To smooth skin, opt for a scrub with sugar and oil,” says aesthetician Sonya Dakar. And ask for a rub-down: Massaging cellulite-prone areas helps drain fluid inside and between fat cells, lessening the lumpy look.
If that does not work, try a wrap. After applying a caffeine-based serum, legs are tightly wrapped and covered with heated towels. “The process reduces water retention, for leaner-looking legs,” Dakar says. [via]
