Your Ultimate Body Shimmer Guide
Who doesn’t love catching the light with a subtle sparkle? If your body shimmer is giving more Edward Cullen than goddess glow, there might be a reason – you could be selecting your body shimmer incorrectly.
In this post, we’ll break down how to choose and apply the perfect body shimmer. Let’s start with selecting the right product:
1. Non-sticky Formula
Living in India’s climate makes it essential to choose a non-greasy, non-sticky body shimmer. Nobody wants their shimmer transferring onto clothes or feeling uncomfortable in the heat. Look for lightweight, quick-absorbing formulas that sit seamlessly on the skin while maintaining their radiance.
If that’s the box to be checked, Bingette Beauty’s body shimmers tick all the right ones! Our dry oil, non-comedogenic formula is lightweight, quick-absorbing, and designed to give you a radiant glow without the stickiness—perfect for every occasion and every season.
2. Skin Tone Compatibility
Here’s a common misconception: many believe body shimmers don’t have undertones. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Just like foundation, your body shimmer should complement your skin tone.
Golden and bronze shimmers typically suit warm undertones, while pearl and silver-based shimmers complement cooler skin tones. The goal is to enhance your natural glow, not create an artificial sparkle. Bingette Beauty comes in four shades that are suitable for all skin tones.
3. Longevity
Body shimmer isn’t something you want to constantly reapply throughout the day. Invest in a long-lasting formula that maintains its glow without fading or becoming patchy.
Look for products that specifically mention extended wear time and test their staying power on a small area before committing to full-body application.
Plus, every body shimmer from Bingette Beauty is waterproof, so you can confidently take a dip in the pool without worrying about losing your shimmer. Stay luminous, no matter where the day takes you!
4. Clean Ingredients
Your skin is your largest organ, so ingredient awareness is crucial. Avoid harsh chemicals that could irritate your skin, especially after hair removal when your skin is most sensitive. Opt for formulas containing nourishing ingredients.
That’s why our body shimmers are crafted with nourishing ingredients like . Cold-Expeller Pressed Oil – which is rich in antioxidants, helping to keep your skin soft and supple., Jojoba Oil – , a non-comedogenic gem, ensures a smooth, non-greasy application that feels luxurious without clogging pores., and Vitamin E Oil – not only adds a layer of nourishment but also protects your skin from environmental stressors with its powerful antioxidant properties—all designed to elevate your glow while protecting and pampering your skin.
These not only make the shimmer safer for your skin but also help it apply more smoothly and last longer.
Now that we’ve learnt about how to select the right body shimmer, let’s now look at how to apply body shimmers in the right way.
