How to Apply Shimmer Body Lotion Without Streaks

Prepare the skin

Exfoliate gently on a different day if knees, elbows, or ankles are flaky. Apply plain moisturizer to very dry areas first and allow it to absorb. Avoid applying shimmer over irritated, freshly shaved, or sunburned skin.

Use less than you think

1. Dispense a small amount for one arm or leg.
2. Dot it across the area rather than placing one large pool.
3. Blend with long strokes using hands or a clean mitt.
4. Use the remaining product lightly over knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles.
5. Check the finish in natural light before adding another layer.

Thin layers create a more polished result and reduce transfer. A second layer can increase intensity after the first has settled.

Choose shade and intensity deliberately

Gold and bronze create a warm reflection; pearl or diamond creates a cooler highlight; rose gold adds a pink-peach cast. These are creative choices rather than rigid skin-tone rules.

Organic Bronze Shimmer Body Lotion – Buildable Glow, Organic Diamond Shimmer Body Lotion – Buildable Luminous Glow, and Organic Gold Shimmer Body Lotion – Buildable Luminous Glow are current shade options.

Reduce clothing transfer

• Use a thin layer and let it dry fully.
• Wash hands after application.
• Test before wearing white, delicate, or porous fabrics.
• Avoid heavy application beneath tight clothing.
• Follow garment care directions if transfer occurs.
