Body-baring summer styles call for glowing skin, and nothing delivers a sexier sheen than a subtly sparkly oil or lotion. Whether you opt for a bronze-boosting product or straight-up shimmer, think of these celebrity-beloved illuminating elixirs as highlighter for your shoulders, arms, legs and anywhere else for that matter.
NARS Monoi Body Glow
Beyond giving your skin a gorgeous golden glow, this long-time cult favorite counts Tyra Banks and Jasmine Tookes amongst its diehard fans. The nourishing, nutrient-rich Polynesian monoi oil blends coconut extract and tiare flower buds—and in addition to leaving skin soft and supple, the lightweight, fast-absorbing formula doubles as an intoxicating perfume.
Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion
One of Hollywood’s not-so-top-secret weapons for flawless skin from head to toe (it can be used on the face, body and even the hair!), this lotion lends a lit-from-within glow and blurs imperfections for complexion perfection. A favorite of Rihanna, Serena Williams, Lea Michelle and scores of other celebs, it’s formulated with natural and organic ingredients and available in five shades (including shimmer-free) so you can choose the level of color that best suits your skin tone.
Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil
Anything with Tom Ford’s name on it is worthy of a swoon (and a splurge), and you won’t want to do summer without this luxe oil. The blend of white florals, amber and sandalwood instantly transports you to St. Barth’s or the Cote de Azur—and the eye-catching gold and platinum shimmer accentuates every inch of your skin. And in the event you get addicted to the scent, you can also get it in perfume, oil and body-spray form. (We wouldn’t be surprised if Tom Ford Beauty devotees like Kate Hudson, Kerry Washington and Jessica Biel have this mist in their bare-skin stash.)
M.A.C Strobe Body Lotion
M.A.C fans like Katie Holmes, Taylor Schilling and Michelle Williams must have rejoiced when the wildly popular Strobe Cream facial highlighter became available in a formula made just for the body. Serving up hydration and illumination courtesy of glow-enhancing pearls and optical pigments, this non-greasy skin-smoothing lotion is amazing on its own, but you can dial up the radiance by topping it with a spritz of the Prep + Prime Fix+ (Shimmer).
Sol de Janeiro Glow Oils
When you think of Brazil, sun-kissed beach bodies likely come to mind. Designed to add sexy shimmer (whether in a barely-there bikini or not), these limited-edition dry oils are available in two shades inspired by Ipanema and Copacabana. Hilary Duff and soon-to-be Mrs. Bieber (Hailey Baldwin) can’t get enough of the brand’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, so we’re willing to bet they use these to get their glow on.
