That time’s rolled around again when you realise: “Oh! I have legs!” Yes – those flaccid tubes of hard flesh that live inside your tights weren’t just to keep your feet on. They were waiting to kill your heatwave buzz. The maintenance these guys need, my God. Unless you’re prepared to do a whole feminist monologue every time you wear a skirt, you’ll have to depilate your shins. And then there’s the moisturising, the tanning… Some magazines even advise on how to use bronzer and concealer to contour them for parties. I’ve been testing a selection of leg products that were invented to help you splosh them simply into shape – the dry oils are lovely for parties, but for every day, Kiehl’s classic Creme de Corps (£27, kiehls.co.uk) is non-sticky, long-lasting and pleasingly forget-about-able.
