As we head into the winter months, keeping your body moisturised is more important than ever as harsh weather and indoor heating can leave it dry, sore and scaly
Body lotion is a step that a lot of people skip, but a good one can make a massive difference to the softness and appearance of your skin.
Especially as we head into the winter months, our skin can be affected by the harsh weather and the heating we have on at home.
The result could mean dry, rough and sore skin if we don’t look after it properly.
However, shoppers have found a “perfect” body lotion that is a joy to apply and has a scent that is divine and lasts all day. Sol De Janeiro are a brand well known for their scented body butters, but they have recently released a lighter body lotion that’s perfect for daytime- it’s called the Body Badalada Lotion.
“If you’ve already used the original bum bum body cream you will definitely love this as this is in lotion form so less thick but still gets the job done with an easy pump to use every day. smells like a dream and moisturises and leaves the body feeling hydrated so I will definitely be purchasing again,” one person gushed.
Another shopper said: “I had to try this as I have loved the Bum Bum cream for years and it did not disappoint. This is my new go to, paired with the spray, it leaves me smelling of holiday all day. It sinks into the skin really speedy and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling and leaves me feeling hydrated. I always get compliments after using this.”
“The Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada Lotion is absolutely gorgeous. It leaves my skin feeling so soft, smooth and hydrated without any stickiness, it’s a lighter version than the Bum Bum cream – ideal for the summer months when my skin isn’t as dry. I love applying it straight after a shower when my skin is still slightly damp, as it sinks in beautifully and locks in moisture. The texture is lightweight yet nourishing, and my skin stays silky all day. The scent is divine, the signature Cheirosa 62 fragrance with warm notes of pistachio and caramel always lifts my mood. It feels like summer in a bottle and makes my skin glow. This has become a daily summer essential in my routine and I can’t recommend it enough!” wrote a third.
A description for the lotion reads: “Treat the skin to a silky boost of hydrating goodness with the Sol De Janeiro Body Badalada Lotion, a luxury skincare icon that’s packed with emollient plant butters and oils.
“Designed to absorb into the skin quickly, this airy body moisturiser glides on smoothly and promotes intense hydration. A blend of seven hyaluronic acids act to draw the lotion in further, ensuring it reaches the skin’s deeper layers. Promoting a feeling of freshness all day long, this skin-friendly lotion is perfumed with Sol De Janeiro’s summer-ready Cheirosa 62 scent.
“After cleansing, massage a generous amount of Sol De Janeiro Body Badalada Lotion into the skin and enjoy up to 24 hours of weightless hydration.”
If you’re baring some skin or heading away, it can be handy to have a body lotion containing SPF – if that’s what you’re looking for, why not try the Sol de Janeiro Rio Radiance Body Lotion SPF 50.
It smells stunning and contains ingredients like niacinamide to benefit the skin. Check it out here.
