Summer-Perfect Legs

Beach-Ready Legs

Get ready for leg-baring season with our simple steps to gorgeous gams:

1. Self-tan. It's the most efficient way to put blemishes like spider veins and stretch marks under cover. Use a tinted formula to avoid streaks.

2. Rely on lunges. They're a tried-and-true way to get long, lean, and strong legs.

3. Forego hose. Unless you work in a very conservative office, skip hose on hot summer days. Tanned, hair-free legs look just as professional under a casual business skirt.

4. Try spray oil. Moisturizer is key in keeping legs silky. But heavy lotions can get goopy in the heat. Try a spray-on oil gloss to moisturize in steamy weather. The bonus: It gives legs a sexy sheen.

5. Wear heels. Even one-inch kitten heels make legs look longer and leaner.
