Posing Oil vs. Baby Oil
Q. Is posing oil that much more effective than baby oil for showcasing a competitor’s physique, or does it really matter which one you use?
A. Posing oil was created to reflect the light onstage to give the competitor the desired effect. The right oil is ideal for bikini, figure, fitness, men’s physique, and bodybuilding competitors to enhance their skin tones while highlighting their physique. Applied right, these will enhance maximum muscularity, vascularity, and hardness. When certain glazes harden under the stage lights, it gives an unbelievable effect and truly shows everything the competitor has worked so hard to achieve.
Baby oil, Pam, and other oils may actually contain petroleum, which will break down color and cause the tan to run and sweat off. It’s like using a cleanser on the skin, and strips off color.
