The 17 Best Body Shimmers for Glowing Summer Skin
Summer dressing can sneak up on you: One day you are wearing jeans in 50-degree weather, and the next you are reaching for lightweight dresses and shorts to combat the humidity and heat. Which means: more skin to show. If your skin looks slightly duller than you'd like due winter months spent inside, don't worry. Now’s the time to reach for the best self-tanners, as well as shimmery body oils and creams to embrace (and fake) a summer glow.
“A body shimmer is the perfect way to finish off a glam look,” says celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta, whose clients include Gigi Hadid and Camila Cabello. “For body highlighters, I’m partial to formulas that focus on enhancing the natural skin and adding moisture through emollients, with the added glowy even tone.”
From oils to creams—and even SPF—shimmer in a bottle comes in a variety of forms. So no matter what your preference is, you can get glowing today with some of our favorite picks below.
