Best With Shimmer: Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil
Why we love it: One of Vogue’s favorite shimmering body oils, this Tom Ford offering is infused with gold and platinum leaf to give the skin a gilded sheen. The heady scent—a mix of white florals, amber, and sandalwood—induces daydreams of tanning on a white-sand beach. And it lasts and lasts: The fragrance stays on the skin for four to six hours. Made with a moisturizing blend of jojoba and olive oils, the oil also keeps the skin from getting dry.

Best French Pharmacy: Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
Why we love it: The French-pharmacy classic delivers a head-to-toe glow. Formulated with botanical oils and rich in vitamin E, it softens the hair, body, and face. Plus, it leaves a light vanilla-magnolia-orange-blossom scent in its wake. Dr. Zalka uses it as a nourishing salve for her nails and appreciates its nongreasy feel. “I discovered it while traveling in Europe and have used it ever since,” she notes. The oil also contains pearly golden particles, which leave the skin with a subtle shimmer.

Best Firming: Costa Brazil Kaya Jungle Firming Oil
Why we love it: Costa Brazil’s body oil is infused with vitamin-rich ingredients from the rainforest floor, which give the skin a firmer, more radiant appearance. “This features kaya, cacay, and breu, making it dense in omegas and antioxidants,” Smith says. She notes that the Brazilian salve also lends itself to luxurious ritual. “It is slower to absorb, which supports massage and deeper penetration,” she explains. Smith most recommends the oil for those with dry or aging skin that needs a boost of elasticity. Breu Branco, an aromatic resin, lends a dash of aromatherapy to the mix, and Vogue editors can’t get enough of its citrusy, woodsy fragrance. “Ever since a friend treated me to a bottle of Kaya Jungle Firming Body Oil, I’ve been obsessed with Costa Brazil’s fragrance,” says Nicole Phelps, global director of Vogue Runway. “I spray the Aroma de Parfum on every morning, keep the Aroma in Oil roller bottle in my purse, and have two Vela candles at home, one on each side of my bed. Obsessed!”
