My legs have never seen the light of day [at least, not since I was at school]. I just use Aveeno when I shower or bathe and sometimes use Aveeno cream afterwards. I've noticed that my legs an feet are getting dryer; hope it isn't a circulation thing. I shave my legs once in a blue moon. Have never had a spa day; must put it on my listofthingstodo [along with having a Kentucky Fried Chicken].

What do you use to moisturise, annodomini? I have the same problem, my skin is paper-thin. And I don't take steroids.
My face skin is better because I use a cheap cream every night.
I shave my legs about once a week, I have horrible legs and keep them covered up.

I moisturise feet and legs as well as arms because prolonged use of steroids makes the skin very thin and dry.

Weird

I've never had any hair on my legs. Lucky or weird?

I never do that. Mind you, I think I will start. My legs are beginning to look crepey and wrinkly shock

Exfoliate the skin on the front of my legs and there wouldn't be any skin left! Quick whizz in the bath with DD's left-over razor when I think about it does me.

blush blush
Oh dear, another of those things I never do. I had a wonderful pampering session/facial recently and when the therapist asked me about my " routine" started to tell her . . . . blush again, oops! apparently she meant * beauty routine*

I use an apricot body scrub when I remember probably every couple of weeks otherwise I just shave them but I do moisturise every day as my legs are quite tanned and tend to be dry.

I do it as and when I feel inclined. The skin on my legs does get dryer these days, so I use a soft brush or a pair of exfoliation gloves, during a shower.
Then I moisturise if I remember!

Shave and moisturise only here. I think salons try to make you think you should be doing something so that you spend more money with them.

exfoliate your legs? I had a spa day yesterday and during the pedicure when my legs were being exfoliated the therapist said ' How often do you exfoliate your legs? Its recommended (she didn't say by whom or why) that you exfoliate twice a week. Well I never do just shave and cream. Do you?
