But, as always, we have your back! We researched - and tested - the best ways to keep your sun-kissed glow year round. Check out the products that made the cut!
Body Oil
Body oil is an excellent alternative to lotion as it helps to keep you looking bronzed no matter the season. It also contains moisturizing oils that leave your skin feeling super smooth and refreshed. Did we also mention they have a beachy-themed scent to remind you of those late summer nights and a shimmer that makes you look like you have a glow from within kind of vibe. #Winning

Mix a drop or two into your foundation, or dab on your face and collarbone. They feel great and the shimmer highlight looks fantastic!
