If you are like me, you love to have your arms and shoulders out during the summer, especially if I am spending a day by the pool, on the beach, or at a festival. Mixing this blend of oil and mica powder will have you looking extra moisturized and smelling delicious too.
With only 2 ingredients and less than 5 minutes your summer glow is awaiting you. Let’s hop right into this body shimmer oil recipe…
Equipment & Ingredients
To make this shimmer body oil you will need these ingredients:
- Moisturizing Body Oil
- Mica Powder
As for the equipment, this is all you will need:
- 2 ounce dropper bottle
- Funnel
To make this shimmer body oil you simply need to combine the body oil and mica powder in a 2 ounce dropper bottle. Close and gently shake until you the oil and powder have completely combined.
The moisturizing shimmer oil is now ready for use. While I used a bronze color if you purchase a pack of mica powder from Michael’s like I did, which is only around $8, you can choose from 3 different body shimmers. A beautiful teal blue, a purple or this bronzy color I used.
