This cult leg oil has been upgraded to a roll-on, and it is my new summer saviour for scaly legs. It is time to get your legs out in the sunshine, and this little roll-on is about to become your new best friend, transforming legs from dry and scaly to smooth and hydrated.
Why This Works Leg Oil Roller Is a Must-Have
Beach body ready is a banned phrase in my house. If I am on a beach, I am ready and it is as simple as that. However, I do hate the way my legs look so pasty and flakey after a long winter in opaque tights, so anything that can do a quick transformation is on my hit list to try. I am looking for a product that can stop the ashy, powdery dryness and work on that snake-skin scaliness. If you do not know what I am talking about, all I can say is lucky you.
Enter This Works Skin Deep Dry Skin Leg Oil Roller, £25. It is the new easy application version of the already cult status Skin Deep Leg Oil. The original comes in a pump-action dispenser and is £48 for 150ml. This on-the-go version is a 50ml with a large rollerball so you can apply straight onto legs hands-free.
Instant Results: Before and After
One application and I love the instant difference. I tried this on the first day I got my floaty summer dress out from winter storage and swapped jeans for legs out. My pins were at their pastiest - red patches, dry skin and a little snakeskin pattern over the front of my calves. The big rollerball makes application really easy and prevents too much coming out (it does not roll as much over places where it is all applied), and I loved the effects.
My legs looked instantly smoother and more hydrated. The scaliness and the powdery dryness both disappeared instantly, and my legs looked a little more toned. Also, even though there is no pigment at all in the oil, I felt like my legs lost that 'never seen the sun' look, as though I had already had them out for a while.
Application Tips and Portability
It is worth noting that the Leg Oil Roller is not a totally hands-free application - you get the best results if you give it a quick rub-in after you roll it on, so you still get some oiliness on your hands, though much less than with the original pump applicator. If you are using it on the go, you just need a wipe, or even a napkin, and it all comes off. The result? My husband is no longer referring to me as 'The Ghost of Crystal Palace', which I am taking as a win.
Easy on-the-go - at 50ml, it is small enough to take with me on sunny days.
What Ingredients Are in This Works Leg Oil?
This Works Skin Deep Dry Skin Leg Oil Roller is not just one oil; it is a blend of 19 different oils in a 100% natural superblend, including rose, hydrating sandalwood and calming evening primrose oils. Packed with protective antioxidants and skin-softening fatty acids, they work together to maintain the lipid skin barrier and reduce dry, scaly, dull skin.
While we are working on legs for summer, if you want a little extra shimmer for the evenings, you can currently find Sol de Janeiro Rio Sunset GlowMotions Glow Body Oil with 20% off at Boots, £28 instead of the normal £35.
