Secretly Wants Body Oil

Let’s be real: if you’ve got a spray tan, your skin care routine is officially on glow-protection duty. The biggest rule? Hydration. Hydrated skin = longer-lasting tans, smoother fades, and way less of that dreaded patchy look.

Most people reach for lotion (which is great, don’t stop), but let me spill the tea: body oils are the unsung heroes of tan care. They don’t just hydrate—they lock that glow down like Fort Knox.

Take Nuda Body Shimmer Oil—a luxe blend of Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Rosa Rubiginosa Seed Oil, Rosa Eglanteria Seed Oil, Rosa Moschata Seed Oil. 

GLOWSHIMMER is our lightweight, hydrating instant body highlighter that enhances your tan and perfectly complements your sunless tanning routine. Enriched with Aloe Vera and Grape Seed Oil, our glittery, silky body illuminator deeply moisturizes while caressing skin with a shimmery, sun-kissed, and golden glow. Leaves skin softly scented in sweet vanilla. DHA-free and dries in seconds to prevent transfer to clothing.

But don’t worry—this isn’t a one-oil show. There are plenty of spray tan–friendly oils and lotions that won’t sabotage your glow:

Spray Tan–Friendly Body Oils

  • Coconut Oil (organic, cold-pressed): Lightweight, natural, and leaves skin buttery soft.

  • Jojoba Oil: Mimics skin’s natural sebum (translation: your skin drinks it up without clogging pores).

  • Grapeseed Oil: Packed with antioxidants, plus it absorbs quickly (no “slip and slide” clothing disasters).

Spray Tan–Friendly Lotions

  • Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion: Fragrance-free, gentle, and hydrates without stripping.

  • CeraVe Moisturizing Cream: Dermatologist-approved, simple, and spray tan safe.

  • Coconut or Shea-based natural lotions (without mineral oil or heavy fragrance): Hydrate without breaking down your tan.

Remember: not all moisturizers are created equal. Avoid products with mineral oil, alcohol, or strong fragrances—they’re like little tan thieves that sneak in and steal your color.


Why Body Oils Deserve a Permanent Spot in Your Routine

💧 Hydration That Actually Sticks Around
Lotions sometimes ghost you after a few hours. Body oils? They’re the ride-or-die. Massage it in, give it five minutes before dressing, and you’ll stay moisturized all day.

🧘 Stress-Proof Your Glow
When stress hits, your body plays favorites and sends nutrients to your brain and heart first. Your skin? Last in line. Add stress-induced free radicals and suddenly your glow looks tired. Vitamin-rich oils are like an extra shot of espresso—for your skin.

💸 More Bang for Your Buck
Oils may look pricier, but a little goes a long way. Warm a few drops in your hands and it spreads like silk. Think of it as “luxury on a budget”—fewer pumps, more coverage.
