Hi,

Looking for recommendations for a full body sheen product, and a sweaty look  (not running beads of sweat, but that kind of wet look) in a spray probably, not necessarily in one, could apply a sheen then a spray.

Full body so larger volume bottles would be better.

One part of glycerin mixed with about 3 parts water (some use a little more water, some use a little less less), applied with a spray bottle, will cause water to form beads and help keep the water from running.

Baby oil or coconut oil will give you a sheen that, especially with harsh, direct  lighting, can look like sweat.

For those wishing to avoid applying mineral oil, aka baby oil, to their skin, may I suggest olive oil? Or coconut oil? Either one is healthier to the extent that it is absorbed into the skin, as well as more easily washed off when you are done.

Glycerine and water in a spray bottle. Shake well.
