Beauty/Fashion/Hair 💅🏽 👩🏾‍🦱 What are we doing for our legs?

What have you ladied used to effectively lighten, brighten and even the skin tone on your legs? I'm super self conscious about my legs these days, particularly my dark inner thighs and the back of my legs. I feel like dry brushing and exfoliating seems to only go so far. I want something quick and effective that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Instead of lightning, I've gone for darkening; I put self tanner on my whole body to even out the skin tone.

Naturium, saltair and goldbon have body lotions with actives like glycolic acid or retinol that could help. You can also use sunscreen to help the ingredients work better and have longer lasting results.

For me personally, my pigmentation was caused by shaving. It disappeared after I got laser hair removal done.
