How to Use Vanilla Baby for Glowing Skin All Day

Truly’s Smooth Skin Expert Kayla Ginney reveals why Vanilla Baby is the ultimate must-have for luminous, ultra-soft skin and how to use it for maximum glow.
From the powerhouse ingredients behind the formula to the perfect layering technique for shimmer-infused hydration, she’s sharing all the details on why this dreamy duo deserves a place in your daily routine.
And by dreamy duo, we mean Truly’s two newest drops: Vanilla Baby Luxury Body Oil and Vanilla Baby Shimmer Body Butter. Here’s why you need them in your life—and how to use them for your most luminous, lustrous skin yet.
Truly Beauty: What makes the Vanilla Baby products so special and unique?
Kayla Ginney: Vanilla Baby isn’t just about smelling amazing (though, trust me, it does)—it’s about giving your skin that lit-from-within glow. This collection blends hydration, nourishment, and shimmer in the dreamiest way. Every product melts into the skin, leaving it soft, radiant, and delicately scented with warm vanilla, pistachio, and caramel. It’s like a cozy, glowing filter for your body!
Can you explain why the ingredients in these formulas work so well for achieving smooth, firm skin?
Absolutely! I love how these formulas are packed with serious skin-loving ingredients. Bakuchiol (a gentle, plant-based retinol alternative) helps smooth texture and support firmness. Niacinamide works to brighten and even out skin tone. Vitamin B5 keeps skin super hydrated, while antioxidants protect and nourish. And of course, vanilla extract brings soothing properties along with that signature scent. Every ingredient works together to give you ultra-soft, supple skin with a healthy glow.
Why do these ingredients work even better when combined together?
It’s all about balance! The combination of firming actives (like bakuchiol), brightening ingredients (like niacinamide), and deep hydration (thanks to vitamin B5 and antioxidants) ensures your skin gets everything it needs in one routine. Plus, layering shimmer-infused hydration from both the butter and oil creates that next-level glow—soft, smooth, and never greasy.
What are the benefits of using the oil and butter together?
The Vanilla Baby Shimmer Body Butter deeply hydrates and locks in moisture, while the Vanilla Baby Shimmer Body Oil gives an extra layer of nourishment and an ultra-radiant finish. Together, they create the ultimate glow—skin that looks silky, illuminated, and smells absolutely delicious. My go-to routine is using the butter first, letting it absorb, and then topping with the oil for the perfect luminous finish.
Can you guide us through the best way to use these products for maximum effects?
For the best results, I always start with freshly showered skin.
1. Apply the Shimmer Body Butter first—massage it in while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.
2. Let it absorb for a minute before layering on the Shimmer Body Oil for an extra boost of glow and nourishment.
3. Focus on high points of the body (like collarbones, shoulders, and legs) for a natural highlight effect.
4. Let the magic set before dressing—and get ready to glow all day!
What inspired the scent—and what makes it so addictive?
I love how Vanilla Baby is both feminine, warm, and completely irresistible. It’s not your basic vanilla—it’s infused with creamy pistachio, juicy pear, and rich caramel, all balanced with a hint of amber and cedarwood. The result is a sweet-yet-sophisticated scent that lingers on your skin and keeps you coming back for more. It’s cozy, it’s flirty, and it’s totally obsession-worthy!
