Isn't shiny legs like an old people thing? I see most of my older relatives with shiny skin on their shins and some how i don't think it's that nice... Matte seems best ^^;; My mum told me that the shiny skin was due to lost of moisture so the skin gets this sort of plastic-ish look to it o.o;

But if you want the smooth look then try sugar scrubs from Body Shop. I do know that it makes you skin really nice and soft.
