9 Shimmer Oils To Get You Glowed Up Before Summer Hits

You don't have to wait for summer to look like a sun goddess.
By Shalwah Evans · Updated December 6, 2020

We don’t have to wait for summer to officially arrive to get that glistening skin that looks like it’s been washed over by the sun. Whether the days are warm and sunny, or wet and cold, you can still shine like you just touched down from vacay in the Caribbean with a good shimmer body oil. They don’t streak like tanners, and they’re temporary enough that you can change the impact of your glow by the day.

Get a subtle glow on a Wednesday or go for high shine on the weekends — whatever your preference, one of these will get you there.
