Published Jul 2, 2024
If you haven’t felt the spirit of the sunny season yet, we’re about to bring the summer fun to you with glowing, shimmering body oil. These radiant-making formulas will transport you to blue sky beaches. You’ll look and feel like you’re on a tropical vacation.
Nudestix Sunshine Oil Body Elixir, $38
If summer could be bottled up, Sunshine Oil Body Elixir would be the result. This luxurious formula has a tantalizing scent of bergamot and lavender essential oils that reminds us of calming, white sand beaches. The gold shimmering pigments envelop the skin for a subtle, gilded glow that gradually evolves into an even tan. Plus, the combination of deeply hydrating oils (think: coconut, avocado, and jojoba) leave skin feeling ultra soft.
Charlotte Tilbury Supermodel Body, $65
We love how Supermodel Body makes it look like we’ve been attending a beach yoga class…without flexing a muscle. Charlotte compares her model-in-a-bottle formula to shapewear lingerie for the skin, providing a firm, contoured, and toned physique. Formulated with caffeine to detox and reduce puffiness, menthol to stimulate microcirculation, and precious metal highlighter particles for a luminous glow, this lightweight oil delivers a sculpted, sun-enhanced result.
BY TERRY Tea to Tan Face & Body Summer Bronze, $28-88
Here’s the tea on how to fake a summer tan: mist on a tea-to-tan bronzer that won’t budge until you wash it off. Enriched with black and red tea extracts, this customizable formula delivers a buildable veil of sun-kissed color that’s waterproof and transfer proof. Shake the water-based mist to activate the formula’s pearlescent particles for a glistening finish, or let the shimmering flecks settle at the bottom of the bottle and apply for a matte, natural finish.
Danessa Myricks Beauty Love & Light Beauty Oil, $30
Looking to glow from the neck up? A couple drops of this fast-absorbing, illuminating oil provide instant radiance with added hydration that’s targeted for your complexion. Wear the vegan and cruelty-free formula alone to mimic the dewy effect you’d get from a day at the beach, or mix with your foundation for added luminosity.
Sol de Janeiro GlowMotions Glow Oil in Samba Sway, $35
Infused with Sol de Janiero’s signature Brazilian Beauty Blend of cupaçu butter, acaí oil, and coconut oil, this luscious body oil provides non-sticky hydration with a summer-scented, dewy finish. The warm bronzy-olive formula highlights curves for translucent radiance that looks like you spent a weekend under the Brazilian sun.
Omorovicza Gold Shimmer Oil, $82
Get that summer glow, plus a little TLC with this colloidal gold-infused shimmer oil. The finely milled gold particles add a soft-focus sheen, as the formula heals micro-damage to repair and strengthen skin. Infused with vitamin E and calendula oil, this multipurpose oil delivers soothing hydration, antioxidant defense against free radicals, and barely-there, shimmery radiance.
