01Moisturise without fail

05. Stay hydrated

Just like how you use a moisturiser on your face every day, irrespective of the season, you need to do the same for your body as well. Apply a lightweight body lotion all over your hands and legs right after a shower. Make sure your skin is still damp when applying the lotion. The lotion creates an artificial barrier that prevents moisture loss and keeps external aggressors from entering the skin. BB picks: Dove Supple Bounce Body Lotion

02Exfoliate regularly

05. Stay hydrated

Similar to your face, there can be a build-up of dead skin cells, oil, dirt and sweat on your hands and legs as well. Apart from causing uneven tone (we're looking at you, dark elbows and knees), it can even clog pores leading to the much-dreaded strawberry legs. Exfoliating your arms and legs about twice a week helps slough away dead skin cells, visibly brightening skin and improving blood circulation to keep your arms and legs looking soft and smooth.

03Shave with caution

05. Stay hydrated

Are strawberry legs keeping you from flaunting those pretty summer dresses? You can easily prevent their appearance by adopting better shaving techniques. Firstly, always use a clean and sharp razor and always slather on some shaving foam or gel. Secondly, ALWAYS shave in the direction of hair growth and don't forget to exfoliate your legs before shaving. These practices will prevent hair from getting trapped in the follicles and leading to folliculitis or strawberry legs. Lastly, moisturise your legs right after to lock in hydration and reduce friction.

04Apply SPF every single day

05. Stay hydrated

Sun damages the skin on your body, causing signs of ageing such as saggy skin, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and, of course, sunburn. Therefore, make sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen on your hands and legs too. Trust us; you'll thank us in a few years! BB picks: Lakme Sun Expert SPF 50 PA+++ Ultra Matte Lotion Sunscreen
