The sun is making a regular appearance and of course it is the perfect time to seize the moment and put a little bit of glimmer on those arms and legs… let’s get our glow on!

So here’s a quick edit of some of our favourite glow givers, all of which evoke feelings of tropical evening and vacation with the beautiful fragrances and silky textures.

Guava and Gold Paradise Found Shimmering Body Oil

This is like a vacation in a box… a very pretty box of turquoise and gold. This beautifully scented oil is rather addictive, you just have to smell it to know that the brand founder is passionate about tropical places.

Tom Ford Private Blend Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil

This is my all-time favourite shimmering body oil, so you can expect to see it from time to time in any review about body shimmer.

First of all, this smells amazing! Soliel blanc is the perfect summer fragrance… light but lush. Next this is a dry oil formula so it’s not sticky, so you can just put it on without having to wait for it to dry. And lastly it is made up of different sizes of glitter and looks amazing on the skin plus it passes the water test e.g. it is still there when you get out of the sea or out of the pool.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

This is turning out to be another favourite with its gorgeous scent of coconut and its powerful shimmer this looks gorgeous on the skin. This is not quite a dry oil formula so needs a bit of patience while it dries but once it’s on its on, and yes it passes the water test.

This also comes in three different shades. And you can buy a separate kabuki brush to apply it with which helps to reduce the stickiness.

79 Lux Golden Oil

This is a lush blend of gold-infused cold pressed and essential oils: when I say gold, I mean real gold which has therapeutic benefits to the skin. The other therapeutic benefits come from the inclusion of deeply rejuvenating Marula oil, Frankincense oil and Rose oil all of which work to deeply nourish and soften the skin. This luxurious oil could be used on face and body and in your hair – basically anywhere that you want a golden glow.

Gold in skincare can help to re-texture and repair skin damage, revealing a renewed glowing complexion. It can also create a firming effect and improve skin elasticity.
