Let it glow: the most beautiful body shimmers for summer

body highlighters glow beauty shopping

It may have become a bit of a strange habit of mine, but as soon as the weather is nice and the temperature allows to walk outside with bare legs , I apply sunscreen (this is often forgotten, so here’s a friendly reminder to always protect yourself from the sun) and I provide them with a generous highlighter. And not the one for my face, but one that is meant for your whole body. I always apply it to the tops of my legs (like my shins) and I extend that line upwards. Just like with your face , you don't apply it everywhere but rather locally, to accentuate certain parts of your face. With that in mind, I also apply the body glow to my body. So are you going strapless? Perfect to give your collarbones some shine and of course the tops of your arms. Are you going for a V-neck? Then follow the line of the top towards your décolletage for a sexy glow. Nowadays, there are so many beautiful body shimmers that you hardly need any jewelry. Just be careful that it stays subtle and you don't look like a disco ball in the light. Less is more, as they say, and that definitely applies here. Let it glow, let it glow, let it glowwww.

Tip: mix a small drop of the body glow with your SPF and then apply it to your body. Fun for the beach.
