You've probably seen the vibrant yellow tub of Sol de Janiero's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream and wondered why you need yet another beauty product just for your rear end. I'm here to tell you that I was a fellow sceptic but have become a Bum Bum fan. Sol de Janiero makes products that really work, smell otherworldly, and transport me to a much more tropical destination than my home of New York City.
The combination of bodycare benefits, skin-smoothing ingredients, and incredible scent always makes me feel like I'm actually living a double life as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, instead of a kind of pasty beauty writer sitting under florescent lights.
What's most important is that these items make me feel good. They smell good, feel good, and just make me darn happy. If you've been curious to try out the brand, read ahead for my top three picks.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
It's time to stop putting off trying the iconic Bum Bum cream. Don't be fooled by the silly name, because the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream [2] ($45) is serious business. It smells delicious (you'll slather it on from head to toe), absorbs quickly into the skin, and is ultra-hydrating. The best part? It contains a high amount of caffeine to firm your bum bum.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian 4 Play Moisturising Shower Cream Gel
If you've been intoxicated by the tropical scent of the Bum Bum cream, you need to try Sol de Janeiro Brazilian 4 Play Moisturising Shower Cream-Gel [3] ($25). Not only does it smell like your next holiday, but the luxurious lather moisturises your skin with coconut oil and cupuaçu butter and contains acai to feed your skin an antioxidant.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bod Buff Smoothing Scrub ‘N’ Mask
Elevate your body care routine by using a mask on your entire body like the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bod Buff Smoothing Scrub 'N' Mask [4] ($25). Apply it to your body (especially where you break out) to detoxify your skin with Amazon red clay. Next, hop in the shower and scrub yourself down with the crushed Brazilian quartz for silky-smooth skin.
