Every July, like clockwork, New York City transforms from a concrete jungle into a glistening catwalk where every girl becomes her own version of a summer supermodel. The sun is brighter, the hemlines are shorter, and there’s a certain shimmer in the air, literally. Because, it’s body oil season, and the glow is officially back.
The Ritual of the Glow
There’s something beautifully ceremonial about July beauty routines. You’re not just moisturising, you’re anointing.
The glow does something to a women, it changes her posture. It changes her mood. It changes the way she walks, it’s like misting yourself like a glamorous houseplant.
The Products That Make the Season
Here’s the thing about body oil: not all of them are created equal. Some make you shimmer like a disco ball, others like a Greek goddess. Both are valid. Both are fabulous. It simply depends on your mood and the lighting situation.
The Glow Inducers:
- Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil – The ultimate “I summer in Ibiza” bottle, even if you absolutely don’t.
- OUAI St. Barts Body Oil – Like vacation in a bottle: coconut, ocean air, and the confidence of someone who forgot what stress feels like.
- Fenty Beauty Body Lava – For when you want that full-tilt bombshell glow. Rihanna didn’t come to play.
- Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or – The French girl glow: effortless, golden, slightly smug in the best way.
- Sol de Janeiro GlowMotions Rio Sunset – Basically the Copacabana on your collarbones.
Pair any of these with a warm July breeze and a bronzed cheekbone and you’re unstoppable.
