Legs!

Well, not personally, but a friend of mine (who, I have to say, is very conscious of her appearance), told me she had used a product called Rose Blush Mist. When she told me how much it had cost I nearly fainted away, but I suppose if those things matter so much, then it was worth it. Unfortunately I can't remember where she got it from, although I know it's hard to obtain, nor can I ask her as she got just a little bit huffy when I gasped at the cost. I think she paid well over £100!

It might be worth your while talking to a dermatologist Jane for a professional view as to whether any treatments are worthwhile or possible.

My daughter goes to a spa place where they use something like this. It's a mixture of airbrushing to disguise the veins and treatment to make them disappear. The products won't be that expensive - it's the cost of the treatments. I suppose if you can afford it, a couple of hundred pounds to have gorgeous legs isn't an issue for some people. I would rather buy a few new pairs of trousers!

I've known one or two very wealthy friends who've tried it. I think they got it by post from the US of A. One of them was absolutely over the moon about it and said I I ought to try it?
Why?
I don't have any thread veins

I suppose the Americans have the answer to so many of these little problems.

Two cosmetic treatments I know of are....Sally Hansen 'Airbrush Legs' not expensive and available in Boots. Another one which was mentioned on a previous thread.....Perfect Legs from a company called Thisworks.

I suppose it's only worth it if you have nice legs in the first place!

Oh my SIL's all use that MiceElf and I have to say their legs look pretty good when they are in their shorts at the family BBQ.

Well my legs are great (if I do say so myself !) but I want to keep them looking that way, so these products could come in handy in the future. I guess you could balance out the expense against the cost of regularly buying tights.

So, does anyone know how to get hold of this product? It would need to be someone perhaps who visits the US of A quite often.

But go you know if its available across the States or is it likely to a west coast thing? They can get their legs out more !

Nothing like a good thick layer of fake tan is there to cheer up the old legs. I will ask my SIL's about that product. They tend to go very high-end and upmarket with their beauty product purchases.

Galen I've got leg envy

MrA and I are off to the US of A for an extended trip in January so I'll definitely be checking out the Rose Blush Mist.
Thanks MiceElf X

Report back, please Jane, my friend would be delighted to get it cheaper, so many products are in the States, aren't they? it might help to heal the slight froideur in our friendship.

You could investigate Micro-sclerotherapy but I think it's very expensive.

Veins

I've eheard of Rose Blush Mist, but I can't quite remember where...

Shall I do my usual sort of post and gently ask whether there are any placebo controlled trials of this panacea for legs? Oh silly me. Cosmetics firms don't share any of their research data do they, other than 73 out of 80 women agree...

Well, Jess, I thought that, but I didn't want to upset my friend even further. There must be people here who've used it, just like the other stuff that's being commented on....

I've seen it somewhere, but decided
a) I couldn't afford it at the time and
b) My legs would just have to do without it
I wonder if it was in a high end salon in New Zealand where we went for a leg wax once? Or was it in San Francisco - Macy's perhaps?

Hey anno it wasn't that little Spa in Queenstown NZ was it? Best place to get pampered in the southern hemisphere (esp if the Man in Your Life is out doing boy-stuff like bungee jumping or snowboarding?)

I had a colleague who had fabulous long legs..all the way up to her btm... but suffered with very ugly discolouration. She went somewhere in Eastern Europe (an ovia / ania or raine) sorry cannot remember where exactly,and when she came back was soon into short skirts.

Long time since I was in Queenstown, but four years ago we went to have our legs waxed in a smart little salon in Christchurch before my nephew's wedding.

Don't everyone's legs go all the way to their btms, Penstemmon?

My legs take a sort of diversion in the region of my knees where they start to go downwards in sympathy with my bottom ...
