I have always been searching for the perfect body cream that would give my dry skin soft, smooth skin without feeling heavy or greasy. When I heard the rave reviews about Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, I knew I had to try it for myself.

After using it consistently, it quickly became my go-to body cream. Here's my journey to discovering why it's now a staple in my skincare routine.

Why I Decided to Try It

It all started when I was looking for a cream that would not only moisturize but also tighten and firm my skin. The Brazilian Bum Bum Cream seemed like the perfect fit plus, I kept hearing about how amazing it smells! With its promise to smooth, firm, and hydrate, I finally decided to make the purchase.

When I first opened the jar, the smell instantly won me over. It has a tropical, beachy scent with hints of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla, which made applying it feel like a mini vacation. The texture was rich but not too thick, and it absorbed quickly into my skin, leaving no sticky residue. I was impressed from the first use.

How I Use Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

I followed the instructions to get the best results. Here's how I use it:

  • Massage in a circular motion: After showering, I scoop out a generous amount of the cream and massage it in a circular motion onto my skin. This helps with better absorption and circulation.
  • Focus on key areas: I apply it mostly on my legs, bum, and tummy, any areas where I want firmer, glowing skin. But honestly, you can use it all over!
  • Daily routine: I made this cream a part of my daily routine, applying it after each shower. The more I used it, the softer and smoother my skin became.

How to Refill Your Bum Bum Cream

Refilling the Bum Bum Cream jar is super simple and eco-friendly:

  • Clean your jar: Wash, rinse, and dry your empty jar and lid (it’s even dishwasher safe!).
  • Insert refill pod: Drop the refill pod into the jar, peel off the pod's seal, and screw the original lid back on.
  • Enjoy your cream: And just like that, your Bum Bum Cream is ready to use again. Refills are sold separately, so it’s convenient and eco-friendly.
