Barts Beauty: this is how you get summer legs (and belly!) “in lightning speed”.

I don't know about you, but I've been dreaming about those rich girl summer legs for years. Those legs that always seem to be golden brown in color, even, moreover, and in which there is not a pit or hair to be seen. Oh, and a flat stomach, that too... Personally, I always think that the girls who have those types of legs and bellies don't have to work and therefore have time to keep those stilts in the semi-shade all day. (because too much sun is disastrous, we all know that) and to have them pampered regularly by masseurs and other assistants.

 

Apart from those thoughts, there are a number of things you can do yourself. No brainers mainly, but the right products are a must. Current favorite of my own sun-tanned paws? The Glow Get 'Em Pack from Three Warriors. Are you reading along?

Personally, we make a valiant attempt with sunscreen every early summer, travel size packaging, sustainable shampoos and everything it takes to get our legs ready for skirt day in a week. Well… 'On the go'… We are now quite sure of what we feel comfortable with and what works and what simply doesn't work at all. A very nice shop is Nourished (has been tipped here often), because they have all kinds of nice stuff. That's a good self-tanner Glow Get 'Em Pack. And we recommend some sun lotions, sustainable razors and all kinds of things for rich-girl legs.

 

Quick summer legs for dummies, also (or: especially) on holiday, this is how you do it:

One answer: Beauty Unlimited Amsterdam. This fantastic Amsterdam no bullshit salon is located in Amsterdam South and only works with the best and latest developments in the field of beauty treatments. So we swear by the Freeze Fat method. Admittedly, it does cost a bit, but after 2 or 3 treatments, you will actually see results. It's exactly what it sounds like: your fat cells are frozen and your body gets rid of them naturally. It is good to know that it is of course not a miracle cure: they do not exist. It Freeze Fat The program works best when you actively exercise and/or do strength training and do not drink alcohol. The latter is important: your body is smart and will always choose to release toxins first. Like alcohol. And that is of course at the expense of removing the frozen fat cells. Here you can read all about the how and what. Do you want to add a satap on top, and/or do you have other issues such as weak skin or cellulite, then look at the LPG treatment from BUA.

Ah the summer, we dream of it, but the good part: you know it's (always) coming! So even if you're still bundled up in long pants and thick sweaters, and the bikinis are still in the closet, you know that skirt day will be around the corner one day. Do you want that one? hot girl summer legs (and everything above) this summer, then you should actually start with some self-care when it's cold. With what? Waxing at the Wax Bar! That's right, all those hairs gone (if you want that of course, but we want to) and if possible for a long period. How do you do that? That silky soft skin? Make waxing part of your regular routine: every four weeks for the best results, starting in winter.

Dammit, there's work to be done! If we have learned anything in recent years, it is that Rich Girls Legs do not come naturally. Bummer. Those who don't have time for hours of inversion sessions and self-massages, or budget for being treated by pros at regular intervals, start early. Summer bodies are made in winter... Yeah blah blah. But we think a little preparation is doable! It is not that complicated at all, nor is it a task: it is just a matter of getting the right things.

This way you can scrub yourself completely gently with the Tasmanian Sand Scrub from Three Warriors (you can get it from the webshop of nourished). They say for your face, but it also works great for your legs and you will enjoy it for a summer long. This scrub nourishes and revitalizes your skin - that's what you want - and the wonderful scent of aloe vera and Tasmanian Manuka honey is also a holiday feeling in a tube. The scrub removes dead skin cells so that your summer color sticks better, your skin becomes even and remains beautiful and toned for longer. Glow Get 'Em over it and BAM!

Where we used to apply an extra layer of oil when we turned around on the beach, we now have to deal with a factor every day.
