There are different types of body shimmers, like powders, lotions and oils. Body shimmers are used to create a glowing and radiant effect when applied to the skin. Some products may contain ingredients that can cause skin irritation or allergy reactions, so we highly suggest reading ingredient labels to prevent harmful situations.
Before applying a body shimmer oil, it is important to exfoliate in order to remove any dead skin on the surface, this will allow the oil to fully absorb. Lotion or body oil can be applied beforehand to provide moisture to the skin. Once the skin is fully moisturized, then you can apply the body shimmer oil. We suggest starting with small amounts of the shimmer oil, and gently applying on the skin with massaging movements. You can focus on areas that naturally catch light like cheekbones, collarbones, shoulders, decolletage, and shins. Lastly, make sure the shimmer is blended well to avoid harsh lines.
Body sprays are the last type of shimmers we will outline here. These are the easiest products for applying body shimmer, considering that each spray releases the right amount of shimmer. This helps to avoid excess and unbalanced application. Layers can be applied for a more intense shimmer effect. If only a small amount of shimmer is needed, spraying into the air and then catching the shimmer a specific distance will help provide the right amount of shimmer desired.
