We had a fab REN scrub earlier in the week, and if you've never used a body scrub before, then this is the perfect time to indulge.
No one is 100% confident about their body after a winter swaddled in jeans and tights, but you'd be amazed at the difference a little exfoliating, hair removal and fake tanning can do to visually slim down legs and thighs. No one is perfect and I'm never going to pretend that cosmetics can make you that way, but equally you can do loads to boost your own condifence before baring all - that's most of the battle right there. And it's always useful to remember that no one else is scrutinising you the way you'll do to yourself.
So to get summer ready, a great way to start is with exfoliation. Scrubbing off all those dead skin cells has double benefits - you're immediately revealing fresh skin, and you're also stimulating blood flow and helping to release toxins - so if you do it regularly you will see benefits. Using a scrummy exfoliator is a good way to encourage the skin sloughing habit, and I really like the sound of Korres Watermelon Body Scrub.
