I’ve Been Using This $22 Body Cream for Five Years, and I Swear It Softens My Dry Skin Overnight

With the arrival of winter, my body turns into the Sahara. I can be found slathering on rich creams and moisturizers all season long. Fortunately for me, I finally found a body cream that exceeded all my expectations.

Although I live in Los Angeles, our recent 42-degree days haven’t exactly been tropical — so I’m turning to Brazilian brand Sol de Janeiro to add some extra beachy vibes to my beauty routine. The secret to my supple success is a huge container of Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum cream that I keep on my nightstand. Just one swipe keeps my previously dry skin incredibly soft and smooth.

This luxurious lotion has been a favorite of mine for over five years, thanks in large part to its whipped, buttery texture that feels luxurious. It’s rich and dense, but never greasy or heavy. A blend of antioxidants like guarana extract and açai oil, moisturizing cupuaçu butter and radiance-giving brazil nut oil help nourish, protect and soften my skin. And at just $48 for 240 milliliters, the tub is pretty big for the price.

I often use it on my hands and heels, which tend to get dry and cracked when the temperature drops below 65 degrees. After just one night of rubbing it into my skin and sleeping in fuzzy socks, I’ll wake up with heels so soft they slide on the hardwood floor of my apartment.

The scent is intoxicating, but not overwhelming or annoying, which I appreciate in body butters (my biggest annoyance is when the scent lingers on my skin for too long and gives me a headache). Sol de Janeiro’s signature Cheiros ’62 fragrance, a blend of pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla, is divinely decadent, but fades within minutes.

While many lotions and body creams make my skin super oily, this one does the opposite. It absorbs instantly into my skin without leaving any residue or grease in place, so I can go back to typing on my laptop or fingering my phone.

I’m hardly the only one who calls it a favorite. In fact, the body cream is currently on Amazon’s best-selling list and has garnered more than 20,000 five-star reviews from customers who say it’s “rich and hydrating without being sticky” and that it “melts like butter.”

One customer even said, “The smell is so delicious I want to eat it.” Until I may not go Enough so far I definitely agree with how great it smells. And Selena Gomez is a loyal fan, so all 20,000 of us are in good company.

If you’re craving even more fragrance and hydration, Amazon has tons of Sol de Janeiro products that are sure to become a staple in your beauty and skin care regimen. Give your skin double the moisture by pairing your Bum Bum Cream with Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Firmez Body Oil, which simultaneously nourishes and de-puffs the skin. The delicious scent found in the cream is even more pronounced in Sol de Janeiro’s Hair and Body Fragrance Mist, which you can spray from head to toe for instant refreshment.
