Why Choose Shimmering Dry Oil?

Unlike regular body oils, shimmering dry oil is non-greasy and absorbs quickly. It makes your skin soft and smooth without feeling sticky. Imagine it as a light layer of moisture with tiny, light-catching particles. These particles, usually made from mica (a natural mineral), create a subtle shimmer that enhances your skin tone.

The benefits go beyond looks. Shimmer dry body oil often includes ingredients like jojoba oil, almond oil, and vitamin E. These help hydrate and protect your skin, making it feel healthy and supple.

Here are some key benefits:

  • Lightweight and fast-absorbing: No greasy residue, just a touch of luminous hydration.
  • Buildable shimmer: For a subtle sheen or a dramatic glow, apply more layers as needed.
  • Nourishing ingredients: Many contain natural oils and vitamins to keep your skin healthy.
  • Multitasking magic: Some can even be used on your hair for added shine.
  • Long-lasting fragrance: Many have delightful scents that linger throughout the evening.

Steps:

  1. Weigh all ingredients: Use a precise scale to measure each ingredient.
  2. Mix ingredients: Combine all the oils and vitamin E in one beaker.
  3. Add shimmer: Add up to 0.5g of shimmering particles (like mica) to the mixture. Adjust the amount if you prefer more glitter.
  4. Shake well: Mix thoroughly to ensure the shimmer is evenly distributed.

How to Apply Shimmer Dry Oil:

  1. Prep your skin: Make sure your skin is clean and dry. Exfoliate first for extra smoothness.
  2. Shake it up: Shake the bottle to mix the shimmer particles evenly.
  3. Less is more: Use a small amount of oil. A little goes a long way!
  4. Warm it up: Rub the oil between your palms to warm it for smoother application.
  5. Target key areas: Apply to areas that naturally catch the light, like collarbones, shoulders, shins, and décolletage.
  6. Build your shine: For more glow, apply additional layers, waiting a few seconds between each one.
  7. Don’t forget the extras: You can use a little on your hair ends for extra shine.

Summer Nights, Endless Possibilities:

With shimmering dry body oil, you’re ready for all that summer nights bring. Whether dancing under disco balls or catching fireflies, let your confidence shine with a healthy, radiant glow that lasts all night.

Pro Tip: Shimmer dry body oil isn’t just for night. Use a light layer during the day for a touch of radiance. For a sun-kissed look, pair it with your favorite bronzer.

So, say goodbye to heavy lotions and hello to the glow of shimmering dry body oil. Your skin and summer nights will thank you!

Happy formulating!
