No more rough skin!
Soften Your Bod with Avocado
Take a ripe avocado, remove the pit and skin, and mash it up in a bowl. Slather it all over your body, let it sit for 20 minutes, then rinse off. Your skin will be sooo soft — avocado is a natural moisturizer.

Pretty Feet and Hands Rough Skin Remover® will exfoliate rough skin away. The exclusive formula gently exfoliates dry, flaky skin for incredibly soft, silky, smooth feet and hands.
Before you shower or bathe, shake the bottle well and apply a small amount of Pretty Feet & Hands to rough, dry areas on your feet, ankles, hands, and elbows – anywhere your skin is dry and flaky.
Massage completely until the rough skin rolls off. After rinsing, apply a moisturizer to those same areas.
You want to smell delicious from head to toe but you don’t want to douse on the perfume ad knock people over with a heavy scent, here is what you can do:
Add a few drops of aromatic oil to a bath and soak in it for about 20 minutes. If you don’t have time to take a luxurious dip, spritz yourself with a fragrance that’s light enough to use everywhere. One great tip is to spray your perfume as soon as you get out of a hot bath or shower, while your pores are still open. Just dab yourself dr with a towel to get any exces water off of yourself and spritz away!
Well girls, it’s that time again. Spring is here and it’s going to go by fast! With Summer looming overhead, you better start thinking about getting your body ready to put on that bikini! Here are a few tips to get your body ‘bikini ready’ :
Soften Your Skin
The number-one way to make dry, dull, pasty skin look radiant and smooth is to exfoliate. Use a gentle body scrub every day in the shower. An oil-based version will give you extra hydration. Two great options: Sephora Body Sugar Body Scrub and H20 Plus Sea Salt Skin Smoother.
Tackle Your Feet
Don’t forget about your feet when you’re prepping for bikini season. Submerge your feet in a large bowl of equal parts warm milk and water. The lactic acid naturally eats away at dead skin. If you don’t want to do it yourself, use Archipelago Botanicals Milk Foot Soak in warm water. After five minutes, buff away any calluses and rough spots with a pumice stone, then rub in a foot cream that has alpha hydroxy acid, like Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Foot Creme, to soften the skin even more.
Hair Removal
A smooth set of legs and underarms and a flawless bikini line are essential for warm weather. But be sure to execute your hair removal the day before you slip into your swimwear to give your skin some downtime. Start every shaving session with a hot shower or bath to soften your hair so it’s easier to remove. If you have the patience and the pain threshold, consider waxing your legs, which will keep you bare for up to a few weeks.
Get Your Glow Going
Boost your color with a gradual self-tanner like Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Daily Moisturizer. Your skin should peak in five to seven days; afterward, apply the lotion every other day to maintain your glow. For something with more staying power, try a regular sunless tanner.
The trick to streak-free results: spread the product on with uniform swipes in all directions. For knees, elbows, and ankles, dilute the tanner with moisturizer to ensure the dry skin in these areas don’t turn too dark. Also, skip spots where the sun don’t shine since tan soles or armpits are a dead giveaway.
