Backs of the legs
There are two unfortunate things that make this spot "special": dry, bumpy skin (similar to keratosis pilaris on the backs of the arms) and cellulite. If the area is extremely dry, choose a rich body cream that contains shea butter, which is an incredible natural moisturizer. If it's dry and bumpy, use a cream with lactic acid to speed up exfoliation.

If cellulite is your main concern, look for products that contain caffeine -- it will give you an immediate tightening, says Baumann. Even though body products can't get rid of cellulite completely, your skin will appear smoother.

Feet
Aside from the occasional pedicure, we're almost all guilty of neglecting our feet. Fortunately, weekly at-home treatments can help turn them around quickly. Look for a special foot lotion that contains alpha hydroxy acid, lactic acid, or urea -- all of which exfoliate really well. Let the lotion absorb for at least 10 minutes before rubbing away dead skin with a warm washcloth or pumice stone.

For an intensive moisturizing treatment, apply a rich cream and put on cotton socks before bed, suggests celebrity manicurist Jin Soon Choi.
