What is body cream?
A body cream is a rich, indulgent moisturizer. It’s lighter than body butter, but more nourishing and thicker than a lotion. At Sol de Janeiro, there’s a body cream for every craving.. Brazilian Bum Bum® Cream visibly firms and tightens. Beija Flor™ Elasti-Cream visibly plumps and supports skin elasticity. And Bom Dia Bright™ Body Cream smooths texture and visibly brightens. All of them are Brazilian-inspired, deeply nourishing, and deliciously cheirosa.
What makes a body cream different from a lotion?
One word: richness. Body lotion is your lightweight, fast-absorbing, out-the-door-in-seconds hero. Body cream is thicker and more indulgent: it sinks deeper, nourishes more, and delivers targeted results. But you really don't have to pick just one: try lotion in the morning for weightless hydration on the go, and a rich body cream at night for deep nourishment while you sleep.
When should I use body cream?
Your skin repairs and renews while you sleep, so nighttime is the perfect time to apply a moisturizing body cream. It’s also best when you’re just stepping out of the shower, while your skin is still warm and slightly damp.
Can I layer body cream with other Sol de Janeiro products?
Layering is the Brazilian beauty secret to staying cheirosa (in Brazil, that means you smell incredibly delicious). Smooth on your hydrating body cream, then finish with a spritz of your favorite Cheirosa perfume mist. Our collections are built to layer, stack, and play. Mix scents, build your ritual, make it completely yours.
