Default Skin Gleam Question

What's a good oil to use on skin to pick up the gleam of sunlight or other lighting? I've considered various types -- avacado oil, coconut, massage, etc...

Is there a "best"?

Typically, you want the subject to not look like they are all oily. If you are going for a look where you want the subject to look sweaty and oily, then some water with glycerin sprayed on will work nice. The glycerin will help the water not evaporate.

Perfect. Thank you. I am looking for the sweaty/oily/wet look so I will have to look into water with glycerin.

Thanks!
