I don’t know about you, but I really don’t like showing my legs in shorts or skirts of any kind in the summer if my legs are pale. I’m not a huge fan of my legs to begin with. I think they are the least feminine and least attractive part of my body, and they do look better when they’re tan.
However, many women have a really hard time getting tan legs. The thought as to the reason is that there is not as much blood flow to the legs, and places that have more blood flow usually get tanner more easily.
A good example of an area of the body that gets tan pretty well is your stomach. This is because there is a lot of blood pumping activity in that area of the body. This is not true for your extremities, because they have less blood flow. Therefore, the only really good way to guarantee tan legs is to put some self tanner on them and wait for them to develop.
Another reason you shouldn’t try to tan your legs in the sun is that you are also putting the rest of your body out in the sun for too long, since they take longer. Incidentally, the legs are the most common part of the body that turns up with cancerous growths. So, it’s safe to say to just try to stick to supplementing your sun time with a good self tanner to get your legs tan.
Another tip to baring your legs in the summer is to use a shave minimizer. You can find good hair removal products that will minimize your shaving time, and leave your legs a ton smoother in the summer.
This way, not only do you have to shave your legs less (something that all of us ladies love), but you are also minimizing the removal of any tan you have built up. Shaving does help diminish your tan, even if it’s a self tanner, because it literally shaves off layers of your skin cells, which is where the tan is held, when you run the razor over your legs.
If you hate wearing shorts, like I do, especially the older I get, then get yourself a few pairs of cute capris. They’re cool in the summer, and you can buy materials that really flatter your shape , and minimize the leg you have to show.
