Pinned It & Did It: Smooth Legs w/ Aloe Fresh

I am a women of many addictions! Pinterest is another one. You don't want to know how many hours I can spend on this website. Whoever thought of it is a GENIUS.

I discovered this awesome tip of using this aloe gel for keeping my legs smooth.

I pinned a link (http://bit.ly/16Hc4HG) about 5 months ago. It featured Johnson's Baby Oil Gel w/ aloe vera and vitamin E. A few weeks after pinning, I saw Vaseline's Aloe Fresh Hydrating Body Gel and bought it. I thought that it was the product I had pinned! I now know that it is not, but I am using it just the same as the pin suggested.

Not only does it provide my legs with baby soft & smooth skin, it keeps them smoother longer than ANY body lotion I have ever tried. You should first know that I have incredibly dry skin. That means that my legs (or any part of my body, really) likes to get ashy and flaky. It's truly annoying. Using this technique (described below) gives my skin a dewy look and a supple feel. IN LOVE.

Here is what I do to achieve silky and buttery skin:

1. SHAVE: I take a normal shower and shave my legs (I use a Shick Hydro Silk Razor and the purple Skintimate Skin Therapy Shaving Cream)
2. APPLY: I apply the gel to my WET legs. I will dry the rest of my body, but I want to apply the aloe gel to wet skin. The moisture helps trap the gel into the surface cells of our skin and prevents it from evaporating.

It's that simple! I can't live without it. I found Vaseline's Aloe Fresh at Target for about $5, and I'm sure it can be found at any drug store/grocery store.

Do you have any tricks for smooth/hyrdated/supple/dewy skin?
