1. Using products to create shine
Oils: Photographers commonly use oils like baby oil, mineral oil, or even cheap olive oil on the model's skin to create a shiny effect. These oils sit on the skin's surface and reflect light, creating a dewy look. However, oil-based products can be messy and difficult to remove.
Glycerin: A popular alternative to oil is glycerin, often mixed with water to reduce its thickness. Glycerin is non-staining, water-soluble, and creates a thick, shiny effect.
Hair Sheen Spray: Some photographers use hair sheen sprays (often containing olive oil) on the skin, as they are designed to create shine and can be sprayed from a distance for easier application.
Glycerin/Water Combo: A mixture of three parts water to one part glycerin, applied as a spray, is a popular method to get a beaded water effect, similar to sweat. This can be particularly effective when layered over skin that has already been oiled
