Good to glow, top shimmering body products

MAC Strobe Body Lotion £25, maccosmetics.co.uk

MAC’s Strobe Cream has been a make-up bag essential for years, perfect for giving a subtle silvery-pink sheen to cheekbones.

Now you can give your limbs this luminous veil too with a new body version.

The tube’s a bit bigger and the formula’s a little less concentrated, making it ideal for larger surface areas.

This Works Skin Deep Leg Duo £37, thisworks.com

Tackle dull, scaly legs this summer with this double-pump bottle, which combines two dry skin saviours – in one half, a natural oil blend which hydrates and conditions, and in the other, a creamy elixir containing 24 carat gold flecks to boost radiance.

Use separately or together for perfect pins.

Tan-Luxe The Gloss £33, tan-luxe.com

Add colour and definition to limbs, collarbones and face with this chunky, buttery highlighting stick.

It’s made of a blend of raspberry seed oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter and shea butter with an illuminating bronze tint that won’t smudge.

Draw on in long sweeps then rub in.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Limited Edition £29, uk.nuxe.com

Silky, luxurious and multi-purpose, it’s unsurprising this is the number one selling body oil in France.

This summer it’s been given a limited-edition design by blogger Mademoiselle Stef, in a polka-dot pattern inspired by the black top hats and printed stockings of the world of cabaret.

Sol de Janeiro Ipanema Sunset Glow Oil £35, cultbeauty.co.uk

Get one step closer to a Brazilian beach body with this pearlescent, tropical-scented body oil, which gives just the right amount of shimmer.

This colour gives a subtle champagne sheen, which is perfect for light skin tones.

Their other variety, Copacabana, is a rich bronze that would suit darker skin tones wonderfully.

Caudalie Thé des Vignes Body & Hair Nourishing Oil £18, uk.caudalie.com

This oil sinks instantly into the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and looking naturally glowing with a heavenly, spa-like fragrance of white musk, neroli and ginger.

It can also be used on the hair to nourish dry ends or create a wet-look style.

Björk & Berries Never Spring Body Oil £35, anthropologie.com

This 98 per cent natural body oil from Swedish brand Björk & Berries contains skin-nourishing sea buckthorn, birch extract and vitamin E to leave skin feeling wonderfully soft and supple, plus super-fine gold particles that give a natural radiance.

It beautifully enhances a light natural tan.

Glowing skin starts with a smooth base, so begin by sloughing away dead skin cells with this sugar scrub.

It also contains naturally exfoliating salt and ground coffee beans, grapeseed oil plus a good dose of shimmer particles that linger on the skin.
