I would first remove the hair, either by shaving or waxing. However prior to shaving, the day before you should get a good exfoliator for your body, either a salt or sugar scrub. Rub it into your legs, concentrating on your rough spots such as your knees.
When you get out of the shower, gently towel dry off and put the lotion on your damp legs. Putting lotion on your skin while it's still damp helps lock in some of the moisture. For added sheen to your legs use a lotion called a body butter (like the ones from Bliss Labs) or anything with cocoa butter in it, these formulas tend to be thicker and will give you a nice sheen to your skin.

Shave your legs in warm water so that you don't have goose bumps that stop the razor from shaving smoothly over your skin. I shave my legs with my foaming body wash not anything special. After you are done showering/bathing dry off and moisturize your legs right away (Don't stop and do your hair and make up first) while your pores are still open. Use a good moisturizer!! Not over the counter, drug store stuff. Splurge and spend $40.00 on name brand such as Estee Lauder.You will use less and it will go further.If your legs are that important to you pamper yourself with the good stuff. I have always believed the Europeans have an edge on beauty.

Right before I turn off the shower, I use baby-oil on my skin, mostly on my arms/legs. If I've shaved, I use that plus an after-shaving cream or moisturizer..skinmate makes a good one. Before getting dressed I use a body cream and before bed I use a good moisturizer making sure I rub it in well.

Make sure when you shave you use a moisturizing shaving gel (I like skintimate). Be sure to moistorize your legs everyday after a shower. Try vaseline and your favorite lotion for that nice shine. Johnson and Johnson baby oil gel will also give your legs a nice smooth shine. Hope it works!

After you shave, put some baby oil or some deep moisturizing lotion on your legs.
If it gives you more confidence to wear tights or hose, go for it. But remember, it's confidence that makes you attractive, not accessories.

don't wear peach tights. what you can do to make your legs smoother when shaving is to shave with hair conditioner instead of shaving cream. the best remedy for dry skin is (i know it sounds stupid) TOOTHPASTE! i know it's gross, but it really works. your legs will be a whole lot smoother and shinier if you wash them with toothpaste in the shower. good luck! i hope i helped! xox

Try Cocoa Butter lotion with as much pure cocoa butter in it as possible...you'll get them nice and soft and smooth.
