How to Use
AM / PM
ILLUMINATE
Shake well before use to blend the light-reflecting mineral pigments evenly. Apply to clean, slightly damp skin, warming a few drops between your palms before smoothing over the body.
GLOW
Massage over the shoulders, décolleté, arms and legs, or wherever skin naturally catches the light. For a subtle highlight, tap sparingly onto the cheekbones and collarbones, or smooth a small amount through the ends of the hair for added softness and shine.
RADIATE
Allow the oil to absorb completely before dressing, revealing skin that feels nourished, silky-smooth and beautifully illuminated with a soft, golden luminosity. Pro Tip: Add a light touch of oil to the ends of hair for scented smoothing and hydration.
