Dry Oil vs. Lotion
I have found that during a shoot where you have exposed skin, like 99% of shoots are. A dry outdoor tanning spray oil has a few benefits over lotion.
- sun protection (especially helpful if shooting outside)
- doesn’t leave a scent on a designers clothes like lotion does
- gives skin a nice sheen not shiny like lotion or body butter
- if you have extra dry spots like knees or elbows it smooths this
- evens out skin tone
- gives a hint of extra color
If you apply a dry oil to bare skin after getting dressed, then promptly wash the hands. Always be aware of stains or spots on clothes that don’t belong to you. Make up, hair products, deodorant, sprays, glitter. These are all simple things that can ruin clothes or lead to a hefty dry cleaning bill.
