Summer or winter, we all dream of showing off perfect legs: slim and firm, with smoother-looking skin. Here are some tips on diet, exercise, massage and skincare to help you care for your legs every day!
1. Rethink your diet
To care for your thighs, calves and even ankles, the first step is to rethink your daily diet!
- Cut back on salt and white sugar, as part of a balanced diet.
- Focus on fruits, vegetables, proteins and whole grains, which all have their place in a varied diet.
- Also remember to drink plenty of water. Try lemon water, homemade fruit juices, herbal teas… You’ll find more tips in our article on water retention.
2. For perfect legs, you need to move!
For perfect legs, you’ll need to break a sweat! Choose a cardio sport that engages the posterior chain (calves-thighs-glutes), such as:
- Brisk walking
- Running
- Swimming
- Elliptical trainer
- Aquabike
Beyond choosing a cardio activity that works the legs, you also need to build muscle in your lower body. Don’t overlook strength training sessions: they’re your best allies for caring for your legs!
Also think about small everyday efforts:
- Take the stairs
- Squeeze your glutes while standing
- Cycle to work…
3. Massage your legs with the pinch-and-roll technique
Anti-cellulite massage can be part of your routine for perfect legs! While exercise and a balanced diet will help you care for your legs, pinch-and-roll massages can round off the care you give the skin on your legs!
This type of massage is very easy to do at home with a cellulite cupping device that lets you:
- Massage the areas where cellulite tends to settle
- Easily practise pinch-and-roll massage at home
- Add a massage step to your beauty routine
And no excuses, ladies: just 3 minutes a day is all it takes to fit pinch-and-roll massage into your routine. A great habit to build for pampering your legs!
4. Simple habits for comfortable legs
For everyday comfort, especially if your legs feel swollen or heavy by the end of the day, a few simple habits are well worth adopting. For example, you can:
- Enjoy herbal teas or other plant-based drinks.
- Finish your shower every day with a blast of cold water.
- Avoid wearing clothes or shoes that are too tight.
- Uncross your legs and take a short walk every hour if you work sitting down.
- Sleep with your feet slightly elevated.
These are all small habits that are easy to adopt every day!
5. Treat your legs to targeted skincare
Take the time to pamper your body with targeted treatments, a real moment of relaxation in your routine. Used alongside regular physical activity, a balanced diet and pinch-and-roll sessions, these treatments can fit easily into your leg-care routine. For example, you can try:
With their specially selected active ingredients, these treatments can earn a spot in your leg-care beauty routine!
How can I get nice legs and smooth skin?
To care for the look of your legs, combine a few simple steps: a varied diet, regular exercise, massage and the right skincare. A body scrub can also be added to this routine.
You can also build these habits into your daily life: walk more, take the stairs, choose comfortable clothes and set aside a few minutes for massage or body care.
6. Avoid tight clothing
Sure, you love your slim-fit jeans… And you’ve already spotted a pair of thigh-high boots in that very chic boutique. However, wearing clothes and shoes that are too tight can have unwanted effects on how comfortable your legs feel, especially if you tend to experience a feeling of heaviness. Tight clothing can make your legs feel even more uncomfortable. Find out more in our article on water retention.
For beautiful legs, opt for clothes you feel comfortable in: go for skirts, chino or palazzo cuts, mom-fit or bootcut jeans. As for shoes, avoid boots that are too tight around the calves and sky-high heels if they’re uncomfortable. Come summer, you’ll be able to show off your legs with complete confidence!
7. Discover plant-based solutions
Here’s another tip for those who experience the feeling of heavy legs. The idea is to give your leg-care routine a helping hand using natural solutions. No need to look far: nature has plenty to offer! Certain plants are indeed found in preparations designed for the legs: Horse Chestnut, Red Vine, Butcher’s Broom, Ginkgo or Cherry Stems. They can find a place in a routine for the legs. If in doubt, ask your doctor or a medical professional for advice.
Also, if you’re particularly interested in herbal medicine, turn to the products we’ve developed, such as our Cellulite Capsules and the dietary supplement, made from naturally derived, 100% vegan active ingredients. They can fit into your routine. Before starting, ask your doctor or a medical professional for advice, particularly if you have a medical condition, are taking medication or are pregnant.
