How to Get the Sexiest Legs of Your Life
The red carpet-level hacks you can't buy at Sephora
In March, a group of girlfriends and I went to Palm Beach for my birthday. We stayed in the Goop Villa at The Colony Hotel, which has lots of lovely little balconies that are flooded with great natural light. I was wearing shorts and swimwear that day, and my legs were pale as hell after an especially long New York winter.
“I need to do my leg trick,” I said.
“What’s that?” said Cassandra.
My eyes lit up. “Step into my office,” I said. And we went out on the balcony.
She watched in utter fascination as my legs went from pale and blemished to flawless, tanned, and toned.
“Holy shit,” she said.
“What are y’all doing?” Abby hollered from the other room.
“I’m showing her the leg trick!” I hollered back. I’d given Abby the same demonstration the summer prior in Sag Harbor before a beach day.
“It’s amazing! I bought everything, and I do it all the time now,” Abby yelled.
Cassandra was stunned. “Oh my God,” she said. “I need that.” And then she promptly ordered everything.
A few weeks later, the same group was back in Palm Beach, and I squinted at Cassandra’s arms out by the pool. Her skin looked so good. “Did you do the trick?”
“I did the trick,” she said. “I am obsessed.”
And now, because you, dear reader, are also my friend, I am going to tell you the trick. I use it on my legs, but the truth is, you can use it anywhere on your body that needs a little polish.
P.S., this makes an excellent pairing with the kind of bath that will ruin a man’s life.
