Ready for skirt day in five steps
Skirt day is coming, ladies. In fact, I've already had my first one. While the temperature here in our little country didn't rise above fifteen degrees, we were like show ponies on a Parisian terrace with over nineteen degrees and a blazing sun. You can bet that my legs have soaked up that French sun.
But before that skirt can be pulled out of the closet for the first time, those white milk bottles need to be summer-ready. It's a breeze with these five steps.
1. Scrub
A lot of complaining in the editorial office about dry legs. Recognizable? There's only one solution, girlfriend. Give those stilts a good scrub, as this removes the unnecessary dead skin cells. Too many dead skin cells make your skin look dry, dull, and lifeless. Do keep in mind that scrubbing removes a layer of natural protection from your skin, making it extra sensitive to the sun. So, apply a good sunscreen.

2. Hair removal
There's no better feeling than a pair of super-smooth legs. It's about time after those long dark winter months during which you've probably neglected your skin a bit. I always shop for men's razors. Combined with a good oil or hair conditioner (yes, really), it gives me the smoothest result. Just try it.

3. Hydrate
After shaving, it's important to hydrate your skin well. Use a good moisturizer that brings in a lot of moisture. Do note that moisturizers often don't contain SPF. So, apply an extra layer with a good sunscreen.

4. Pre-tan
Are your milk bottles still too white to show off? Then apply self-tanner a few times before diving into the sun. Make sure to choose a good self-tanner, as nobody is happy going from milk bottle white to orange.

5. Let them shine
Now that those legs are ready for the first rays of sun, we're just one step away from that nice spot in the sun on the terrace. A nice subtle shine on those smooth stilts.
