I also rubbed baby oil first, then got sprayed with water, which will make the model squirm unless the water is warmed 

On the other hand, cool water is a nice nipple-popper

try glycerin, it does not evaporate the way water does and can have a beading effect without the greasy feeling. It can also be used over makeup.

its bad for your skin...

well it's a main ingredient in moisturizer and many other products used on the skin and also many products that we eat..

"Glycerol is used in medical and pharmaceutical and personal care preparations, mainly as a means of improving smoothness, providing lubrication and as a humectant. It is found in cough syrups, elixirs and expectorants, toothpaste, mouthwashes, skin care products, shaving cream, hair care products, and soaps.

As a 10% solution, glycerol prevents tannins from precipitating in ethanol extracts of plants (tinctures). It is also used as a substitute for ethanol as a solvent in preparing herbal extractions. It is less extractive and is approximately 30% less able to be absorbed by the body. Fluid extract manufacturers often extract herbs in hot water before adding glycerin to make glycerites.[2][3][4]

Used as a laxative when introduced into the rectum in suppository or liquid (enema) form; irritates the bowel and induces a hyperosmotic effect.

Glycerol is a component of glycerol soap, which is made from denatured alcohol, glycerol, sodium castorate (from castor), sodium cocoate, sodium tallowate, sucrose, water, and parfum (fragrance). Sometimes one adds sodium laureth sulfate. This kind of soap is used by people with sensitive, easily-irritated skin because it prevents skin dryness with its moisturizing properties. It is possible to make glycerol soap at home."

only at 100% purity can be harmful to the skin.

THANK YOU! u beat me to it

For the oil component, try a bottle of "Citre Shine, shine mist anti-frizz spray laminator"



It's a "liquid shine" oil-like, water repellant. It's in the hair products aisle.

It comes in a convenient 3 oz bottle that's easy to carry and lasts for several photo shoots.


Over that, mist water from a normal generic hand pump sprayer. Warm the water, as mentioned above, for model comfort. Warm water has a nice effect on the modeling mood too.

Love that stuff! But I use it for my hair, not for making my abs look all glisten-ey.

Yea and NEWSFLASH!! what do you think baby oil is?! Petroleum (aka. Mineral oil), and that is really bad for the skin 70% of the pores get glogged, and it dries out the skin. Not so god. Actually glycerine is a better choise.
