Body shimmer is a cosmetic product that is applied to the skin to add glow and vibrancy to its surface. It usually comes as a powder or a liquid spray, and it can be used on almost any part of the body, but it is most commonly applied to the face, shoulders, and arms. Body shimmer can be used to enhance the natural skin and add moisture through emollients, with the added glowy even tone. It can be used in place of eye shadow or blush, or lightly dusted on to bare skin for an all-over glow. Most skincare experts recommend that people only apply it to clean, moisturized skin.

To use body shimmer, it is recommended to mix the product into body lotion to keep the skin hydrated and bring through its natural shine while not overpowering the look. For more full-coverage glitz, it is suggested to separate moisturizer and shimmer steps, especially for red-carpet moments. To apply body shimmer without making a mess, it is recommended to use a body brush that is densely packed but also gentle on the skin to ensure a luminous, glossy finish.

It is important to note that products not intended for close and prolonged contact with the skin can lead to rashes and irritation, even in people who don’t normally have sensitive skin. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a body shimmer that is safe for the skin and to avoid overdoing it with the product.
