Makeup artist Scott Barnes knows glow — his celebrity clients include Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé — so if you're looking for an alternative to traditional self-tanner, Body Bling can be mixed into your foundation or worn underneath for instant brightness, minus any shine. You can also use it on your chest and arms for instant shimmer (bonus: You don't even need a mitt or brush to apply).
If you feel sluggish or your body feels swollen, dry brushing is a great thing to consider. It works to increase blood circulation, reduce inflammation and unclog pores. Starting at your ankles work up in circular motions — you want to do this everywhere except for your stomach area (where instead, you'll want to brush downwards).
Do this before showering, as you'll likely have dead skin cells that you'll want to wash off. This brush is an inexpensive option that works well without being too harsh.
This body brush is another option to help relieve your body near-instantly of feelings of swollenness and sluggishness. It uses natural boar bristles and rubberized nodes and fits into the palm of your hand, making it a great option for those that are new to dry brushing and worried about the harshness.
While this product was designed to be worn under makeup, it does such a great job at covering pores that it's worth wearing on its own — especially on days you're going (mostly) makeup-free. It won't actually shrink pores, but it will give the instant illusion of smoother skin.
