Many of us have adjusted to staying at home, and some of us have felt the need to focus on self-care. Although it can be difficult to relax, there is one cult-favorite beauty item that’s been called a "vacation in a jar."

With over 193,000 loves on Sephora, the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream from Sol de Janeiro is a body cream that can help with tightening and smoothing out skin appearance. Not only can it aid with dryness and loss of firmness, but many people can’t get enough of its pleasant smell.

Made with coconut oil, cupuaçu butter, açaí and guaraná, which is an Amazonian plant that contains caffeine, this powerhouse cream can leave your skin feeling ultra-nourished and conditioned. One of the best parts about it? Its mini size only costs $20.

Free from any parabens, sulfates or phthalates, this product is suitable for all types of skin. It can additionally give you that Brazilian glow after applying.

If you haven’t used caffeine on your pores, you might be wondering, how does it work? Well, dermatologist Dr. Judith Hellman told Organic Authority, “Caffeine's properties enhance other antioxidant ingredients such as green tea, white tea and resveratrol, providing a boost to those ingredients which neutralize free radicals and improve the texture of the skin.”

One reviewer who gave the product five-star reviews explained, “I highly recommend this stuff is amazing! I used it for less than two weeks and stretch marks are visibly fading! I have tried a million different oils and creams and nothing has ever worked. It smells great, reminds me of summer, it absorbs quickly. I’m very picky about lotions and creams and this [is] the real deal!”

While everyone may not see immediate results with their skin, some have raved about its unique fragrance that has kept them a dedicated buyer.

Another mentioned, “I love this product! Smells amazing, leaves your skin feeling extra hydrated, and adds a beautiful shimmer. It seriously smells like a tropical vacation in a jar. Don't really know if it does anything to firm up my skin, but the moisturizing benefits and the smell are enough to make me repurchase again and again.”

While many shoppers have said they love the smell, it can be a little strong for some, so it's important to consider this before purchasing. However, if you’re in need of a quick pick-me-up or want to be reminded of beach ventures, this skincare hero is one worth considering.
