My Poor Little Legs

Summer is fast approaching and with summer comes Bikini’s, Short, Skirts and Dresses…meaning lots of legs. This is something I dread for 2 reasons. The first reason is I am PALE and I am always PALE. There was that one summer my friends and I went to Grand Bend almost every weekend and baked on the beach and I actually did have a really great tan but that’s the only time I can think of that I ever really had an actual tan, well one that didn’t rub off in the shower. I haven’t gone into a tanning bed in about 5 year and don’t plan on ever going in one again (they are sooooo bad…just saying) so I usually just used the progressive tanning lotions or once in a while a spray tan from a can (ha ha I know it sounds funny but they really do the trick).

Now the second reason I dread summer and showing my legs is that my pale legs are covered in little scars. I am highly allergic to bug bites and have about 7 or 8 black fly bites from last summer that ended up scaring. I also suffer from ingrown hairs which have also left some small scars. Now these scars are very small but because my skin is so fair they are easily noticeable. Every time I have gotten a bug bite, an ingrown hair or a cut or scrape I put poloysporn on it but it hasn’t seemed to help.
This year I want to be able to rock shorts, skirts and dresses without feeling self-conscious about my legs - I have come to terms with being pale, and of course can always use a lotion to get a little colour but that still wont conver the scars, so after many hours of searching the internet and researching many products I decided to try Bio Oil. I have heard mixed reviews from people so I figured its best to test it out myself – I started using it Saturday April 16 but wasn’t being consistent. So starting Today I am going to use it on my legs (all over) every day after I shower and then do a spot treatment before bed on jus the spots that need it. I am going to continue to use it and post some updates and hopefully by the beginning of June I will see some results.

I am still deciding if I am going to put pictures of my legs up here or not...but its looking more like a no LOL.

Make sure you check back for updates on my poor little legs…
