A dose of sunshine in a bottle
I’ve often wondered if cult beauty brand Sol de Janeiro is worth the hype. If you are already a fan of the iconic Bum Bum Cream then let me introduce you to the Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil. Powered by a skin tightening Guarana Caffeine+ complex, this oil is designed to firm and tone the skin as well as decrease puffiness making it great for lymphatic massage. Personally, I like applying it on to damp skin post shower. Its softening, hydrating, and surprisingly for an oil, absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film. And if you aren’t in the know, then we need to talk about the amazing scent that lingers throughout the day. Notes of pistachio, almond and vanilla combined with salted caramel, and sandalwood will transport you to the powder white sand of Ipanema. I guarantee, this oil will leave your skin silky soft, firm and smooth. As a brand convert, I can confirm it’s worth the hype.
Available at Space NK, RRP £52 for 100ml.
