What I Use On... My Legs

When it comes to nights out, I always try and make sure that my legs look good and I thought it'd be interesting to show you which products I use on them as I think I've found some true gems!
Dove Summer Glow + Soft Shimmer* £4.99 - I use this to top up my fake tan throughout the week. I probably use it two-three times and it's the only gradual tanner that doesn't leave the skin looking streaky. It also has a pleasant smell that doesn't smell like nasty biscuits. It's great on the legs because it adds subtle shimmer.
Jergens Original Beauty Lotion* £3.49 - This is the only body lotion I'll ever use. It's definitely my go-to one as it's my favourite ever smell, cheap and it does the job. It sinks in nice and quickly and doesn't leave a nasty film on the skin. The moisture also lasts a while as I only need to use it once a day.
L'Oreal Perfect Slim £6.95 - I use this a couple of times a week to tighten up and tone my thighs and arms. It's a nice gel formula that's quite cooling. I'm not sure if it works but it feels nice so I continue to use it.
Dr Ceuticals Leg Tone & Shimmer* £8.49 - This is another toning moisturiser and I use this whenever I go on a night out as it adds a lovely amount of shimmer to the skin which really highlights the legs.
Xen-Tan Mousse Intense* £23.99 - My perfect fake tan! When this runs out, I need to get the lotion version as I prefer lotions to mousses but this is amazing. It leaves the skin a natural olive colour and although it has a green guide colour, it doesn't stain bedsheets. It's also very easy to use, doesn't leave streaks and lasts for around a week while fading evenly. Perfection!
Ministry of Waxing Ice Cream* £21 - Even though this is supposed to be used after waxing, I use it after shaving if I ever accidently cut my legs. It cools the skin and stops little nicks from irritating it.
diego dalla palma Spray on Tights* £22.61 - I hate tights with a passion! But I love how they leave the skin looking perfect. So I've found a middle ground. This Calze Spray is pretty much a foundation to the legs and if I have a bruise on my legs, I'll spray this before going out and it lasts all night and covers it up perfectly.
Caudalie Divine Oil* £25.00 - As well as using moisturiser, I also enjoy using oil. This is a spray bottle so it's easy to apply and it leaves my skin looking glowing, healthy and feeling soft and smooth.
Soap and Glory The Breakfast Scrub* £9.50 - My favourite body scrub! This smells beautiful and does a great job as keeping my skin smooth. Whenever people ask me why my legs are so soft, I say it's because of this beauty!

CHALLENGE: Dr.Ceuticals

We all have our body hang ups and mine are definitely on my arms, legs and stomach. Luckily, there are products out there that promise to help us. So I've been set a challenge by Dr. Ceuticals and I'll be using two of their products for a minimum of 28 days to see whether or not they've made a difference to my problem areas. The products that I'll be trying out are the...
Firm & Sculpt Arm Gel* - £16.99 
This is a gel that is rich in antioxidants. It contains a plant derived active which is known to help reiforce collagen synthesis which gives firmness and tone back to skin. This is to be used twice daily. I've already felt this and the gel is very nice and cooling. It sinks into the skin immediately.
Leg Tone & Shimmer* - £16.99
This is a light, hydrating lotion which immediately gives you a healthy glow whilst helping to firm and tone the skin and improve the appearance of cellulite. Like the arm gel, I've felt this and the shimmer is very prominant. So prominant that I'm scared to use this unless I'm actually going on a night out. But we'll see how I get on with it.
I've measured my arms and legs and I'll be reporting back on these products and letting you know if I've lost any centimetres or inches around my problem areas on the 24th November. You can find out more about the range here.
