It's well known that tan legs look skinnier and more youthful, that is until sun damage starts accumulating and your knees start sagging down to your ankles. A healthier alternative is to use products that help you obtain that bronzed glow without risking skin cancer. Philosophy's Big Skinny Tinted Body shaper is a body bronzer which gives the illusion of slimmer shapes. It's also made of shea butter which conditions and shapes your skin (thrice weekly workouts will do same by the way). I like that it's scent-free so you don't walk around all day long sniffing yourself and wondering if everyone else does too. It's also longer lasting than many of the other brands. Try The Big Skinny Nude for yourself and let me know how skinny your legs look in 5 minutes. At Sephora for $25.
The Jiggle Gel from Benefit contains chocolate and cayenne pepper and tightens and tones the skin, it's a favorite of jet setters as applying it to lower legs before, during, or after flying prevents swelling and puffiness. I think I need to hire an assistant to fly with me just to carry the beauty products I require on flight! $26 at Benefit.com.
Yes, tan legs look much better than pasty pale ones!
I think they misnamed the Philosophy product. Who wants their legs to look "skinny"? I'd rather have my legs look "toned."
Went to Sephora today and tried The Big Skinny but I found the regular shade a bit too dark (i have rather pale vancouver-ite skin), however, tried the Nude and absolutely adore it. I would definitely recommend it for anyone lacking in the tan legs department!
