With our guide, your legs can look like the legs of a top fashion model.
Yes, what you have read here so far
and the information which follows below. Legs on TV and movie screens, in magazine pictures and on stage
didn't get that way by chance; they go through this processes. One can pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars in posh salons for someone to do it for them
(after all they can afford it, or the agencies foot the bill), but we provide everything here for you to do it
yourself at home! The methods we provided you here, which
you can do yourself at home, are the very same type system of catered leg beautification therapy. But, many who pay the salons
don't realize they are really paying for in expensive spa treatments, is
not really the ingredients in the appliques, they are paying for the process know-how we gave you here free...and the "plush."
Fancy names on bottles = fancy prices for the same active ingredients you can buy for under twenty dollars at the local pharmacy. We do hope you will let us know if you found the information here
Easy & Effective Leg Toning Exercises
About Cellulite:
Shaving Your Legs If you are adamantly set against a depilatory method of removing
leg hair (or salon methods), and prefer to shave, always use a quality brand shaver.
Never shave your legs with a dull blade. Use a quality shaving creme or lotion.
And, most certainly use a shaving product designed specifically for the female gender.
While the blade cuts away follicle and necrotic skin, it also bears friction
against all the skin and is irritating to not only tissue but capillaries.
Shave with the grain of your skin, not against it. Electric shavers are somewhat easier
on the skin than the battery razors and both provide less irritation than the manual hand razor.The best time to shave your legs is as soon as you awaken
in the morning as possible, since your skin will be "tighter." Apply a thin coat
of skin conditioner (lanolin, glycerin or cold cream) after shaving. Wait at
least one hour after shaving before using an astringent. It is also
recommended not to shave your legs in the shower or immediately after bathing.
Never shave your legs after being out on the beach or in the sun (see also important warnings and
information below about your the effects of the shore on your legs and how they
can look their best on the beach). Home hair removal gadgets sold by mail order
companies don't work and some, we are told, actually pinch and hurt.
BTW: many professional models avoid the leg waxing process as this may clog skin pores Do not shave over
skin eruptions without consulting a dermatologist or physician. (For
information about leg waxing, depilatories, electrolysis laser hair removal, information about
and the treatment of varicose veins see the additional database of leg
Don't spend twenty or thirty dollars for those mail order detox kits. Make your own for less
than a dollar per treatment. Here's how:
Sure, we all know that Vitamins A, C, D and E are essential for skin health. It is
also well known Protein is a must for connective tissue and muscle form. Zinc, of
course, promotes new skin growth and protein production and genetic dermal health.
These are the great nutrition basics for beautiful legs. The herb Aloe Vera
is extremely popular as nature's skin soother. But, did you know that
several other herbs promote the healthy and beauty of your legs?

What you will read here is everything need to know to make Your Legs the best looking.
Having "perfect legs" seems to many women possible only on screen and in fashion ads.
The formula Hollywood and the stars kept, for years, as a trade secret with
their personal cosmetologists, aestheticians and among their expensive salons, is a surprisingly simple method, but it is a regiment that
must be followed precisely for a period of time if you want your legs to have
that magnificent "perfect" look you see in movies, on Tv and in print.
A menu of specific leg beauty topics
(i.e. best hair removal methods, curvaceous calves & thighs, leg toning exercise,
varicose veins sunburn)
follows the leg beautification overview.
if you are of
proportionate height and weight, Your Legs can and will look like
the movie stars and TV/magazine fashion models.
It is all a matter of clean skin pores, good skin cell health, proper moisture
balance and maintaining toned contour. The results are magically "abra cadabra"
great legs, but it's not waving a wand. You have to follow the beautification
methodology for several weeks faithfully. The results will be worth the effort.
Here now, for you, is your ultra-alluring, perfect leg beauty personal guide.
We'll give you all the information you need to have your legs look and feel
the way you have always wanted them to look and feel ...like a top model or movie star's!
If you haven't already read Xoteria's
skin care guide, we urge you to do so. In that way, you become familiar with the necessary basics of
healthy skin and knowing what dermal damage clogged pores do, as well as to appearance. Then, continue here to focus
specifically on your legs.
HERE IS A MICROSCOPIC VIEW OF CLOGGED PORES:
These are visible indications of clogged pores. But it is possible to have pore
contamination without the marks and blotches you can see. You haven't been pleased with the overall skin texture and feel your legs?
Even when environmental and other contaminants in your leg's skin pores can not be readily
seen, they are, nevertheless, harmful and do cause your skin's surface to be and look "rough" rather than
smooth and supple. If you have never before thoroughly cleansed the skin pores
on your legs, you are in for a fabulous surprise!
As you have read on the
Skin Care Guide Database page, beautification of your skin begins with
clean pores. Using cover-up cosmetics only clogs your skin pores all the more.
It is very important to keep in mind the skin chemistry on your calves and thighs is
different from the skin chemistry in other parts of your body and the skin chemistry
on your feet, ankles and knees also differs, as does elasticity. The skin tissue
composition, texture and grain of the various parts of your legs is also different
from other parts of your body, especially your face. Everyone's skin is as unique as fingerprints and DNA.
The astringent (pore cleanser) you use on your face may not be appropriate for
your legs; either inadequate or too "strong" (irritatingly gritty). A citrus based
astringent works well for most legs (Apricot or lemon, for example). There are
also chamomile and colloidial oatmeal astringents, among others, which may (or may not) be
beneficial for you. Test an astringent on an inconspicuous part of your legs
before applying all over. When you do use an astringent, apply with circular,
not up and down, motions. Use less astringent on your ankles and knees than you do
on your calves and thighs. Do not use astringent on the bottom of your feet. When
applying to your upper thighs, avoid vaginal area contact.
What skin lotion ingredients should I be cautious of using?
This first step cleansing treatment for your legs is essential and, for the first ten days of your leg make-over, must be done every night before
you go to bed. Why at night? Astringents "open" your pores and during sleep you
would not subject your legs to environmental contamination as you would when
you are up and about, going outdoors, and so forth. Never use an astringent before
going out and reclining in the sun. Do not apply the astringent with an electrical
callous wheel, use a firm circular massage with your fingertips only.
Unsure how to select the proper astringent for your leg beautification make-over? Use the form below for a free consultation
with an aesthetician. There is no promotion involved to sell you a product.
This is yet another service for you provided by Xoteria.
The important fact to remember, as emphasized and explained in the skin
care guide, eruptions of red, brown and black blotches and spots on your legs
are likely *caused by skin clogs and contaminants that have not only irritated skin cells
and tissue, but also capillaries, the tiny blood vessels near the surface of your
skin. (information about varicose veins can be found in the databse below).
*when no acute or chronic skin ailment is present.
The Next Step: Skin Moisture Balance Conditioning.
Another secret of the posh salon biz: Expensive applications of salon "euro-brand"
skin conditioners have the same active ingredients of products you
can purchase in most any pharmacy. The question is, which types of skin conditioners
are right for your particular legs. The important factor is, after your pores have
been cleaned by the proper astringent, you want to attain and maintain the correct
moisture balance (see dry and oily skin differentials in the Skin Care Guide).
You want your legs supple and smooth with a velvet feel. Some key ingredients here are
lanolin, allantoin, aloe vera, tea tree oil, glycerin, bee pollen. Vitamin A, D and E ingredients (but not in a heavy petroleum base), Skin conditioners
should be liberally massaged well into your knees, ankles, and soles as well as your
calves and thighs, using your fingertips and, again, a circular motion
This application is done daily in the morning for the first ten days, once every other
day for the next two weeks, then at least twice a week to maintain the satin smooth
look and feel of your legs.
The final make-over step: firming, toning and contouring,
This procedure you must be done for five days after the ten days of cleansing and conditioning. This may be done anytime during the
say or night. BTW: this is the next big Hollywood secret of those hot, sexy shaped legs.
Elastin and Collagen firming creams are used in conjunction with foam wraps.
The most popular wrap for leg contouring is Pro-Foam, a sports wrap available at
most pharmacies. Use the widest two inch width. Do not use Spandex type wraps ("Ace Bandages") as
they leave undesirable marks. Always use a smooth elasticized wrap. First, apply
the firming cream and then wrap snugly, but not so tight as to constrict circulation. It is important to select a firming
cream with the right amount of elasticized effect for your skin. Start the wrap
around ankle, spiral up to your upper thigh just below the crotch. Be
sure the wrap compression is evenly distributed. Leave the wrap in place for
one half hour (best to recline or sit during this time with your legs raised above your heart level).
After thirty minutes, remove the wraps and apply a thin layer of skin conditioner,
massaging in well.

We have presented leg beautification demonstrations
on TV fashion show segments and fashion trade shows since 1972
and now presents legsmadebeautiful.com on the internet.
Along with your leg beauty regiment, here are some simple, but effective daily
leg exercises:
1. Lie on the floor. Do at least twenty straight leg raises on each leg separately,
then twenty more with both legs together.
2. Do up in the air bicycling for at least three minutes.
3. Putting on two pound wraparound ankle weights, available at sporting goods
stores, augment the toning value of these exercises. Graduate to five pounds!
Resistance is the key!
People spend hundreds of dollars for fancy body toning contraptions needlessly. Ask any professional
physiologist. The key to toning muscles is working them against resistance. The fact is, thermoband,
a flexible rubber latex ribbon, does the job as good as any mass marketed impressive looking, computerized mechanism. No,
it dosen't light up and give you digital readouts, but it does contour the focal body part you want
contoured. Thermoband costs less than ten dollars.
What should be my targeted proportionate height and weight?
Here is how to use Thermoband to tone and countour your legs.
1. Lie on the floor. Place the band at midpoint under one foot just below the toes (wear socks). Take each
free end of the band in each hand (wrap it around your wrist for security). Raise the foot by bringing
one knee up with the foot out in front. Now, with the band tensed, push your foot outward against it
as you straighten your leg. Push out, count ten, slowly bring it back in. Do this twenty times with
each leg.
2. Sit up. Place the band at midpoint under the ankle of one foot. If it is the right foot, grope
both ends of the band in your right hand securely twisted around your wrist. Pull up your foot and
press it back down on the floor against the resistance of the band. Twenty times, than the opposite
leg. Repeat twenty sets each leg.
Therabands are color coded, the lightest, usually yellow, provide the least resistance, then red,
green and blue, which has the strongest resistance. Since the item is so inexpensive, work up by color.
Doing daily leg exercises will provide the shape you want for your calves and thighs. You can ignore
the informercials. Your body and some resistance brought the same results as the three hundred dollar
contraption!
Leg Massage
Do the mail order leg massagers really work? Many "home health" catalogs sell
electric leg massage devices that either use an AC adaptor, batteries, or both. They range in price
from $14.95 to $39.95, with not much difference in the achieved resulrs. The pulse vibration feels
good, somewhat relaxing, but they neither tone muscles nor effectively relieve stress. Women who are
on their feet for many hours a day (nurses and waitresses, for examples) will feel better using these
devices, but nothing beats a well performed hand massage.
You can do it, although it will feel much better with someone else doing the hands on massaging, and, sensually
speaking, it will feel great if your love mate volunteers. The best "feel good," truly therapeutic effect
is not difficult. The massage starts at the foot and slowly moves up to the mid thigh. The pressure
should be less at the lowest extremity and become gradually more firm as it comes up to the knee.
Legs should be outstretched on a lounger, bed or massage table (lying on the back). The massage
begins at the sole just unter the toes with the massaging hands somewhat curled and gently grasping around the foot.
The thumbs of each hand should press lightly, but effectively on the sole and rotate from the ball of the foot working
down to the heel, then up to the ankle bone lightly. At the instep, the massage method changes.
With both hands cupping just above the instep, all fingers rotate gently up the calf to the knee fold,
then lift fingers, return to the instep and repeat the rotating massage going up the lower leg several
times. Then, a firmer rotating grasp around the knee, lower and mid thigh. Repeat the motion from
instep to upper thigh. Aside from the aaahhh feeling and the relief to stressed muscles, regular
massaging should help with toning the leg contour. With legs elevated above the heart level, the
massage will also stimulate circulation and if there is edema, help diminish the swelling.
Cellulite, which is a catch name for inner skin layer fat globules, are most likely to form on the
back of your upper thighs near the buttocks and, in some cases, on calves and
other areas. The toning method above, with emphasize on an exercise regiment,
will diminish noticeable cellulite. Dermatologists are now implementing an
acidic injection which is said to dissolve cellulite on legs, but the average
cost is reported upwards of $600.00 on each leg. There are also reported mild
temporary side effects with this invasive therapy.
Eating healthy promotes skin wellness as well as your overall well-being. Antioxidants
from fruits and vegetables have shown to nourish skin, promote healthy tissue and
cells, as well as diminish necrosis (dead skin). Berries have antigenic (anti-
aging) effects, according to several naturopathic studies.

Comparing Leg Hair Removal Methods
shaving your legs irritates not only the outer, but second and third
layers of your skin. This "skin burn" is caused by the friction of the
razor blade scraping against your skin and skin pores. If you still
prefer to remove the hair on your legs by shaving, use a shaving cream
with lubricating ingredients. Never shave with a dull blade or a razor
that has been dropped or mishandled. Using a menthol-eucalyptus ointment
about five minutes after shaving your legs with a razor will reduce the
"skin burn" sensation. There is no proof a multiple blade razor does a
better job of shaving than a single edge razor, or is less irritating.
Depilatories Depilatory creams remove leg and other bodily hair by
caustic abrasion. For that reason, they can be irritating.
What skin lotion ingredients should I be cautious of using?
Nair is currently the most preferred brand among women.
All depilatories work by dissolving hair, but only at the
skin's surface. This is the only safe method of applique
hair removing. The effects are very temporary, usually not more than a day.
Women with dark hair may notice black blotches after use.
Women with dark skin may see eruptions in their skin pores
after using a depilatory. Generally, a depilatory is less abrasive
to the skin than shaving.
As with any skin applique, test a depilatory on a small,
obscured spot. Discontinue further use if irritation or blotching
occurs. The best time to use a depilatory is in the morning
after a warm bath or shower. Do not use over insect bites and
acture dermal eruptions. If you have a chronic skin condition,
consult a dermatologist before using a depilatory or any skin
applique.
Electrolysis Developed late 1800's, electrolysis body hair
removal uses ionic charges to dissolve skin hair. An electrical
current is applied between a pair of inert electrodes, one inserted
into the hair folicle. The negatively charged electrode is called the
cathode, and the positively charged probe, the anode. Each electrode
attracts ions which are of the opposite charge. Therefore, positively
charged ions (called cations) move towards the negative charged
cathode. The effects are enduring, in many cases permanent (but
not in all women), There are risks of skin damage and possible
infection, even though the procedure is not invasive (the electrode
does not penetrate the skin). Electrolysis can be painful to women
sensitive to "static electricity." In many salons, electrolysis has been
replaced by laser hair removal methods. Note: "home epilator pens"
and similar devices sold by mail order simply do not
work).
Laser Hair Removal Lasers are a new modality for the rapid
removal of unwanted hair. Proper laser hair removal therapy
requires great expertise. Many competing laser hair removal systems
exist. Several are already outmoded, and others offer particular
advantages for certain patient populations. This site is designed to
help consumers decide if they are proper candidates for laser hair
removal and to answer the most relevant questions concerning this
important new advance.
Light skin makes laser hair removal easier to perform. Fewer
treatments are required, and better, faster results are obtained.
People with darker skin can be treated, but results are slower, more
sessions are required, and greater expertise is required on the part
of the laser center.Dark hair absorbs more laser energy and is easier
to treat. Coarse dark hair responds the best to laser treatment. Light
hair is more difficult to treat. Blonde or red hair is very difficult to
treat. Multiple treatment sessions are required, and results are
variable. Blonde or red hair usually contains pheomelanin, which
absorbs laser energy less vidly than the eumelanin pigment which is
present in black or brown hair. Laser hair removal must be
individualized for each patient.
Laser hair removal is not for every woman. The absolute requirement is
that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin. Additionally
very darkly pigmented people absorb too much laser energy in their
skin and are not ideal candidates. Tanned patients with light hair are
not candidates. Tanned patients with dark hair should wait until their
tan fades before they are treated. Laser hair removal, although much less
expensive than electrolysis, requires multiple treatments, and
likely will cost over $1000 in total for legs and bikini area.
There are several home leg waxing products on the market.
Most involve heating strips which can result in burns on your
legs, so if you do decide to use them, be very careful. There
is a sharp sting when the strips are removed and there is no
way to prevent the pain. If you feel the hazard and the
discomfort are worth the alternative to depilatories and
shaving, be sure to use the home leg waxing product
exactly as directed by the manufacturer.
Some naturopaths use their own made at home leg
waxing formula. Here is the most popular leg wax "recipe:"
1 1/2 Cups sugar
4 Tbls. lemon juice
1/2 Tsp. raw egg white
2 Tbls filtered or bottled water
Mix by beating in a saucepan for 2-3 minutes. Boil for 8-15 minutes, until the mixture becomes a ball like gel). Then pour it into a small plastic container. Let the
mixture stand until it is very warm, not burning hot.
You can keep unused portions refrigerated for two weeks. It can be heated up in the microwave. (be careful not to burn)
Of course, be sure you know how to wax your legs before
using this formula.
Waxing your legs regularly does, as one advantage,
result in your leg hairs growing back somewhat lighter over a period of time.
This is because the waxing process extracts hair from the root, therefore, it grows back with a less
thick consistency. Another downside, aside from discomfort and the
danger of burning, is that leg wax clogs skin pores. Have varicose veins or other
malady concerns? Important information follows below...

Mix & make a paste consisting of:
Baking Soda
Flouride Toothpaste
Cinnamon Powder (granulated)
Place an Alcohol Pad (or drop of Alcohol)
Atop and around the alcohol, spread the paste mixture
on 2 Gauze Pads (need not be sterile packaged)
Before you go to bed, tape each gauze pad with the mixture on the sole of each foor. Take the
pad off in the morning and you will see the toxic particles drawn from your body chemistry,
just as effectively as the expensive mail order detox pads. For even more effectiveness, add
a sprinkle of either St. John's Wort, Kava Kava or Mugwort herb roots on the paste. Do not
ingest. Do not use on children younger than age 7.
Abour Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are swollen and twisted veins that look blue and are close to the surface of the skin. They are unsightly and uncomfortable. Veins bulge, throb, and feel heavy. The legs and feet can swell. The skin can itch. Varicose veins may occur in almost any part of the body. They are most often seen in the back of the calf or on the inside of the leg between the groin and the ankle. Hemorrhoids (veins around the anus) can also become varicose. Causes and risk factors for varicose veins include obesity and
pregnancy. menopause, standing for a long time. A genetic factor may also be considered in having varicose veins.
A family history of varicose veins. Varicose veins may also be a warning sign of a blood cloth.
A venogram can diagnose the seriousness of varicose veins. Surgery can be done to remove enlarged veins. Sclerotherapy can also be done on smaller veins. This procedure uses a chemical injection into the vein that causes it to close up. Other veins then take over its work. Both of these treatments, however, may bring only temporary success, and more varicose veins can develop.
The long term advantages and risks of newer laser technologies have yet to be fully evaluated by medical authorities.
Just doing some walking will improve leg and vein strength.
Keep your weight down. Avoid standing for prolonged periods of time. If your job or hobby requires you to stand, shift your weight from one leg to the other every few minutes. Do not wear clothing or undergarments that are tight or constrict your waist, groin or legs.
Eat high-fiber foods like bran cereals, whole grain breads, and fresh fruits and vegetables to promote regularity. (Constipation contributes to varicose veins). To prevent swelling, cut your salt intake. Exercise your legs. (From a sitting position, rotate your feet at the ankles, turning them first clockwise, then counterclockwise, using a circular motion. Next, extend your legs forward and point your toes to the ceiling, then to the floor. Then, lift your feet off the floor and gently bend your legs back and forth at the knees).
Elevate your legs above your heart as often and as long as you can each day.
About Sunburn & Sun Ray Hazards
Sunburn is an acute cutaneous inflammation that follows excessive exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Long-term adverse health effects of repeated exposure are hazardous and
outlined in the American Cancer Society warning found on
Xoteria's Skin Care Guide.
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes deleterious effects. The most common is acute sunburn or solar erythema. Solar erythema is associated with microscopic changes in the skin, detectable within 30 minutes of your skin being exposed in the sun. The most marked changes include formation of epidermal sunburn cells, damaged keratinocytes with hyaline cytoplasm, and pyknotic nuclei. Epidermal Langerhans cell and mast cell numbers may decrease, while the relative percentage of hypogranulated or degranulated cells may increase. Superficial blood vessels show endothelial swelling, perivenular edema and vascular infiltration.
Sunburn can be life-threatening and is a leading cause of cancer. Skin burn can easily be prevented through the use of sunscreen, clothing (and hats), and by limiting solar exposure, especially by stopping during the middle of the day. The only cure for skin burn is slow healing, although skin creams can help. In the winter time, windburn is commonly confused with a sunburn, with typically milder symptoms.
It is advisable to consult a Ultra Violet factor index to determine what level of protection is necessary. Potential forms of protection include wearing long-sleeved garments and wide-brimmed hats, and using an umbrella when in the sun. Minimisation of sun exposure between the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. is also recommended. Commercial preparations are available that block UV light, known as sunscreens. Sometimes called suncreams or sunblocks, they have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating, based on the sunblock's ability to reduce the UVB radiation at the skin: the higher the SPF rating, the greater the protection. A sunscreen rated SPF15 blocks 93.3% UVB and an SPF30 rated sunscreen blocks 96.7%. It is best to use a broad spectrum sunscreen in order to protect against both UVA and UVB radiation. It is prudent to use waterproof formulations if one plans to engage in water-based activities.
It should be noted that the best sunscreens attenuate UVA radiation as well UVB. Protective welder helmet in useWhen one is exposed to any artificial source of occupational UV, special protective clothing should be worn. Sunscreen should have a SPF rating of at least 15. It should be applied half an hour before going out and reapplied every two hours thereafter.
There are numerous topical skin products that can relieve the pain of a sunburn and speed up the healing process. However, it is best never to cover a sunburn that is blistered or open with any sort of cream, gel, or ointment as it may cause the wound to become infected. The symptoms of milder sunburn can be treated with an antipruritic such as Calamine Lotion. The thick mucilaginous gel on an Aloe vera plant or aloe-based products are popular treatments that heal the burn and relieve pain.
Regular white vinegar and apple cider vinegar have often been touted for their usefulness in treating sunburns and preventing blistering and peeling. Another common household remedy is the liberal application of mustard to the affected area or areas. Other common naturopathic remedies involve the application of lavender oil, tea (cooled), yogurt, cucumbers to the burnt skin.
Skin treatments aside, the pain from a sunburn is often best treated with an analgesic such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additional relief may be found by putting a cool, wet towel over the affected area. Using tomato on the skin is a more painful way of treating the burn, but is mostly effective. Ice provides immediate relief; however, once removed, discomfort may follow. Also of note is the common use of almond milk which is particularly soothing to children. Avocado-based moisturing lotions have proven as effective as standard pharmaceutical aftersun treatments in cooling the burn, reducing the edema and restoring elasticity to the burnt skin if applied within 24 hours of the burn.
A hot shower may also take the sting and the heat out of mild sunburn however there is significant risk with severe sunburn that a hot shower will increase the damage perhaps leading to blistering of skin which has not yet blistered. Peeling sunburns are usually accompianied by itching that may be uncomfortable in more severe burns. Allergy medications such as Benadryl are effective at stopping the itching.

Certain Prescription Medications
Can Cause Skin Blemishes Or Discoloration
All medications may have specific side effects which include dermal (skin appearance) reactions on your legs.
Ask your the prescribing physician about
the medications you are taking if you have experienced a skin problem after starting the drug.
For example, certain antibiotics, especially the sulfurics (Bactrim, Macrobid),
may cause skin to darken, particularly the lower legs. Blood thinners (i.e. Coumadin [Warfarin]) may cause red
blotches, streaks or exacerbate varicose veins. Diuretics ("water pills") may dry your
skin or cause tiny cracks on your feet (and hands).
Everyone is different. A certain medication may have a contraindication on one
person, but not another. If you believe a skin affectation is caused by a prescription you are taking, don't jump to
conclusions or stop/reduce doses. Consult with the health care professional who ordered the "scrip." She or he may provide a
solution, an alternative, or recommend an additional consultation with a dermatologost.
ESSENTIAL NUTRITION FOR LEG BEAUTY
Burdock is excellent for healing dry, scaly skin and reducing the
redness and scaling of psoriasis.
Dong Quai, from ancient Chinese medicine, has shown to significantly
improve leg appearance by skin cell regeneration and toning skin suppleness.
Ginseng promotes both skin muscle tone, especially when used in
conjunction with your leg excersizes.
Nettle improves the skin's ability to ward orr wrinkling and sagging.
St John's Wort used as a topical applique diminishes red spots and
bruising (not when taken internally)
Satsaparilla reduces proness to dry skin and reduces the symptoms of
various dermatitis inflammations as well as psoriasis
Yellow Dock Root improves skin tone and bolsters the smooth leg
appearance.
Remember that EFA's (Essential Fatty Acids) as found in Flax promote not
only good overall wellness, but skin health. Your legs depend on good
nutrition to look good, feel good and carry you the distances you
walk every day.
Did You Know? Some Hosiery Can Actually Harm Your Legs
Bargain brand and no-brand hosiery sold at discount outlets dollar stores,
usually imported, may have properties that can have an undesired effect on the skin of your legs and your feet.
Some synthetic fibers are coarse, even if they don't feel rough when you put them on. Expanded, poorly refined
raw materials can be abrasive to your skin. Another problem with generic branded hosiery are allergins
inherent in the fiber or materials which bind the fiber. If your legs feel itchy or tingly after putting on a brand of
hosiery you never used before, discontinue wearing them. If you notice tiny marks on your legs and feet after
wearing a new brand and have ruled out other forms on skin contamination as previously described, wear another
brand to see if these blemishes vanish. In general (but not absolute), national brands should not have any
harmful effects on your skin.
