Things You'll Need
Baking soda
Almond oil
Apple cider vinegar
Cheesecloth

Instructions
1
Mix 4 tbsp. of baking soda with enough warm water to make a natural skin care paste. Once a week gently massage the baking soda paste onto your legs. This treatment will help to prevent ingrown hairs, will smooth the skin and leave your legs looking healthy and feeling silky.

Eliminate varicose veins once and for all with an apple cider vinegar remedy. Soak a piece of cheesecloth in apple cider vinegar and wrap the cloth around your legs where varicose veins are present. Elevate your legs and relax for an hour or so before taking a lukewarm shower or bath. You should see results in as soon as a month.

5
Eat one whole cucumber daily to help reduce swollen ankles and calves. Cucumber is a natural yet gentle diuretic that can effectively reduce swelling in the body. Natural, nutritious and delicious, cucumber is the perfect addition to your skin care treatment.
