Hi Benamy, I'm sure your legs look nothing like elephants! I find that fairly firm body brushing from your toes and ankles up towards your heart is great for smoothing your legs out a bit. If you do it before showering then slather on some nice moisturiser (body butter) then your skin will feel much softer. You could also search on youtube for some leg toning exercises - there are loads I'm sure. :) Good luck!
