Body shimmers with glitter can definitely cast the spotlight on you and feel fabulous, but they can definitely have their downsides. Most glitter shimmers can stain clothes, especially fabrics that are delicate, like silk for example. Another issue a lot of people express is that the glitter tends to get everywhere and can be very hard to clean.
Craft glitter is usually irregularly shaped and larger, and shouldn't be used on the body. This is because it’s known to cause eye irritation and infection risks. There are also individuals that may get skin irritation or dryness when using certain shimmer products, since they don’t provide any moisturizing benefits.
All of these downsides can be avoided when buying body shimmers without glitter. We recommend using body shimmers that are made with synthetic mica. Synthetic mica body shimmers have finely dispersed sparkle particles, or pearlescent pigments that create a subtle and luminous glow on the skin, without having the noticeable and chunky sparkle of glitter.
There are also shimmery sunscreens, oils, and balms that provide moisture to the skin and create a natural radiance that a glitter shimmer cannot provide. The reflective properties of these shimmers can also help blur out imperfections on the skin like blemishes, minor scars, and uneven skin. Some of these glitterless shimmers also have versatile application and buildable coverage. What an amazing way to have a confidence boost of radiant glow without the itchy glitter!
