GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA — Monday February 2, 2026 — Vaseline is officially turning up the heat on the Australian summer, bringing its globally viral Body oil range to local shores with a high-glamour takeover of the Gold Coast's Cali Beach Club.
Already a cult favourite on social media—captivating millions in "glow-up" and "GRWM" videos—the extended Body Oil range is being celebrated with the commissioning of Vaseline ANZ's first-ever original dating series, The Afterglow. Hosted by Love Island Australia Season 5 winner Tyra Johannes, the five-part series features fan-favourite reality royalty alongside shimmering singles in a quest for connection and the ultimate summer glow.
The Afterglow puts a star-studded cast—including Eliot Donovan and Beth Kelly (Married at First Sight), and Gabby McCarthy and Alex Haye (Love Island)—through a series of cheeky physical challenges to crown the ultimate summer glow couple. From the topical "Glow or Go" challenge—where contestants navigate dating "red flags"—to the high-pressure "Couples Choreo" connection challenge in front of a live audience, the series explores modern dating through a lens of "scene-stealing radiance."
"Being part of The Afterglow has been the ultimate way to celebrate summer," says host Tyra Johannes. "It's about that feeling of confidence you get when your skin is glowing. I can't wait for everyone to see the drama unfold and the incredible radiance these oils gave the cast."
