"HOW can I get sexy celebrity legs? I'm 26 years old and a size 10, but my legs just aren't really up to scratch - they're dry and prone to a bit of cellulite. Celebrities always seem to have glorious silky looking legs - what can I do?"

THE first thing you can do to treat the dryness is to exfoliate with a good quality body scrub like Guinot's exfoliating body peel. Start by applying the product to dry skin working up both legs. You could invest in a pair of mesh gloves, which can be purchased from Boots or The BodyShop. Dampen the gloves and massage your legs, starting at the ankles and working up towards the top of the legs using sweeping circular moves. As the product starts to dry exfoliation is complete.

You could also invest in a soft body brush. On dry skin with the brush dry, start at the ankles and use quick swift strokes upwards. Do your whole body. This is fantastic thing to do first thing in the morning.

It exfoliates, stimulates blood flow and brings fresh oxygenated blood to the skin's tissues, waking up tired dull looking skin. It also increases lymphatic flow thus eliminating toxins. You can do this every day and soon your skin will be looking silky soft.

A spray tan, like the St Tropez Ultimate Air spray tan, is a great way to make legs look slimmer and sexy.

Salon treatments like the Physique Inch Loss Program will help you tone up your legs. The Physique Programme lifts and firms sagging muscles, gives a smoother contour, and cellulite and water retention is improved by an increase in the lymphatic flow draining away waste tissue fluids. Results are achieved after a 15 minute session, however a course of 10 is recommended for optimum results. G5 Massage is a mechanical massager that goes much deeper than the therapist can. Different heads are used to mimic different massage techniques. This is excellent after Physique and is fantastic for targeting specific areas like inner thighs, outer thighs, hips and buttocks. The G5 will break down fatty deposits and help to improve the orange peel effect. It will help to stimulate blood flow, lymph flow which in turn will help with the appearance of dry skin and cellulite.

Guinot's "Absolute Minceur" body treatment is a complete, holistic body treatment using mineral clays, essential oils and specialised massage techniques. This relaxing body treatment will stimulate circulation, encourage elimination, firm the skin and improve body contours. The treatment specifically incorporating: buttocks and abdomen takes approximately one hour.

There are lots of other things that could help, like going for a 20 minutes walk every day taking big strides to use all the muscles in the legs. You could also try calf raises using a chair for support - do three sets of 10 twice a day. Also do lunges using alternative legs, three sets of 10 twice a day. Swimming is an excellent all round body toner.

You should also drink plenty of water - at least eight glasses every day - and avoid tea, coffee, and fizzy drinks. These will only increase fluid retention that tends to accumulate largely in ankles and legs.

So in no time at all you will have celebrity pins to be proud of.
