Summer Confidence Enhancers: My Top Picks for Radiant Skin Glow
In the world of beauty products, finding the perfect body shimmer can be a daunting task. But for busy mum Julia, speed and natural-looking results are key. Here are her top picks for the best body shimmers that deliver a radiant glow without the fuss.
Starting with Fenty Beauty's Body Lava Body Luminizer, this gel-cream adds an impressive layer of sheen to the skin, thanks to its micro-pearls. The result is a shimmery effect without any tell-tale sparkle, making it a great choice for those who prefer a more subtle shine.
Julia also recommends the REFY Body Glow, a metallic-gold cream that injects a zing into fake tan and leaves skin looking instantly dewy. For a more subtle sheen, Charlotte Tilbury's Charlotte's Magic Body Cream is a must-try. Packed with hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and caffeine, this cream has a gentle smoothing and blurring effect, perfect for a natural-looking glow.
For those who value quick-drying products, the Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Shimmer Radiance Body Gloss is a great option. Although it is a little thicker and takes a couple of minutes to fully absorb, the wait is worth it for the healthy sheen it adds to dull areas, especially the decolletage and arms.
Another quick-drying favourite is the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Illuminator. This product is recommended for its ability to illuminate skin without any tell-tale sparkle, and is available in four wearable shades.
Julia's preference leans towards cooler-toned shimmers, but she prefers deeper colors after applying fake tan. The Rehab Sunshine Spritz Hair & Body Shimmer Mist fits the bill perfectly. With a beautiful golden glitter that settles on the skin to create a really juicy, dewy finish, this mist is reminiscent of classic suncream aromas and is perfect for adding a boost of shine to hair as well.
Lastly, for those who prefer a light and pearly colour that creates a cool and soft iridescent glimmer rather than adding warmth, the Florence By Mills Mirror Magic Illuminating Body Moisturiser is a great choice. This product is packed full of shea butter, marshmallow root, and a blend of vitamins to care for the skin, making it a nourishing as well as glowing addition to any beauty routine.
Julia's top picks offer a range of options for those seeking a natural-looking glow, from subtle sheens to bold, sunkissed finishes. Whether you're a busy mum or simply someone who values a quick and easy beauty routine, these products are sure to deliver the radiant glow you've been searching for.
