I know not all women shaved during the winter months(this is an actual fact), or only shave particular areas i.e legs from the knees down. If this is you then OK, but it is now time to shave/wax it all. You will no longer be able to get by with half a shave so now is the time to invest in the good stuff(razors, shaving cream, Nair, wax...what ever are your tools of the trade) and start the prep work. Remember exfoliation is also important for the skin just like it is for the feet. Caress body wash is my choice whether it's Tahitian Renewal or Evenly Gorgeous you will walk out your shower with soft, smooth skin, ditching the dry skin that may have plagued you all winter. Now, if you are a DIY(Do It Yourself) kind of girl then a homemade body scrub made from sea salt, white sugar, or brown sugar maybe the way to go for you(I will post some to my Facebook page www.facebook.com/gettingtosexy). What ever method you chose, the benefits of exfoliating is worth the extra shower time.
The next prep works is the feet, please please, please do not attempt to slide on anything that reveals any part of your foot without getting a "GOOD" pedicure. Think about it your feet have been stuffed in boots, socks, and what ever else to stay warm this winter, and there are some of us that put off getting pedicures during the winter months(even though that is not an excuse). Now is the time to get that together and get those tootsies soft, smoothed out and presentable for our hot summer months. I suggest going to a professional and letting them work their magic but if you want to DIY I suggest the Listerine foot soak and exfoliating with a lemon half that has been dipped in sugar. You can Google these recipes as well but I will also post them this week. Keep in mind the money you spend to DIY your feet you can give to a professional to smooth them out, at least the first time to kick off the summer, after that you can DIY to maintain them.
The last thing ladies I want to mention is updating your makeup to some cute summer colors, there are plenty of cosmetic companies that have put out a rainbow of colors for the summer season. My favorite right now is Cover Girl Colorlicious in Purplelicious #650. It is a fun color with a lot of shine. Your makeup should be fun and colorful for the summer so this is a good time to start trying new shades and colors to carry you through a long, warm summer(fingers crossed).
