I gave Leg Lifts a go and was pleasantly surprised! I’d call it a rejuvenation for tired legs; a little pick-me-up for tense and tired thighs and calves. Read on to find out if this gel for achy legs is exactly what you’ve been searching for…
The Most Important Thing About Leg Lifts Is…
This is a super minty cooling gel for overworked, tense legs. Leg Lifts is perfect for when your legs need some revitalisation because of the cooling menthol and peppermint that takes centre stage. It’s instantly calming and you can feel it tingle and tone as it works to soothe strained calves. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved this. I have been having some pain in my calves recently, specifically after walking long distances and so I gave it a go after a big walk one day and loved it. This does more than just cool your skin. The energising feeling that you experience in your legs after applying this is intense, it’s almost the opposite to Deep Heat. For me, it was that same level of comfort to sore muscles. I also tried this on my lower back and shoulders and it helped soothe the aches I was having there too – I’m obsessed!
What Skin Type Is It For?
Leg Lifts can be applied to all skin types as it’s packed full of naturally sourced ingredients, however do not apply it to any cuts, grazes etc. because it’s likely to sting.
You Will Love This If…
If you struggle with tense, hot legs after a full day on your feet, or just need to calm throbbing calves after a heavy workout this would be an ideal addition to your post-bath routine. Also, it would be ideal to use if you live in a hot country and need something to apply to cool yourself down. It’s not just for your legs, either! Try this on aching muscles such as your shoulders or back, and feel it instantly cool and calm.
Hero Ingredients:
Soothe and tone achy limbs with a combination of fresh peppermint, menthol and comforting cypress and cedarwood.
What Does It Feel Like?
Tingly, cool and soothing. I massaged this into my calves after a hot bath and was surprised by how quickly it got to work. I also used this on aching shoulders after carrying a heavy backpack around all day and this instantly soothed my achy back muscles.
What Does It Smell Like?
This skin-soothing gel has a strong menthol smell but it isn’t overpowering. It’s very fresh and minty but also has an aromatic undertone that’s really soothing. I love the smell of it, it’s super soothing and makes you feel re-energised.
How Do You Use The Product?
Squeeze a small amount into your palm and massage into legs, starting from the ankles and working your way up to the thighs. Watch as it absorbs very quickly and you begin to feel it tingling. Again, do not use this on broken skin.
What’s Special About The Design?
The bottle is a larger size because this product is for your legs and it’s packaged in a squeezy tube, which makes it easier to apply. Plus, the tube is opaque to preserve the minty scent for longer.
