1. EMBRACE YOUR BEAUTY AND LOVE YOURSELF

Although Brazil is known for being one of the countries with the highest number of plastic surgeries (with aesthetic purposes only), more and more each day women are being impacted with the body positive movement! So the first beauty tip we can gather from Brazilian women is: love yourself, exactly as you are! 

There isn’t a prettier-looking woman than one that is comfortable in her own skin – with flaws and imperfections. Not all of us are going to look like Gisele, Alessandra Ambrosio, or Adriana Lima, but that’s ok! Being different is one of the awesome things about life, and Brazilian women know that!

2. SEE BEAUTY TREATMENTS AS SELF-CARE

Related to the above tip, another thing Brazilian women do is see beauty as a way to take care of themselves! So, not only are they going to feel beautiful, but they are also going to feel relaxed and confident because they did something for themselves^[3]Winter, L. (2018, July 23).

Is very common for Brazilian women to have a “me day” or a “beauty day”: days when they go to the hair salon or simply do homemade treatments to take care of their bodies and souls!  Days like that make them feel invigorated and wonderful, inside and out! Why don’t you try to add a “me, myself, and I” moment to your routine?

3. USE (AND DRINK) COCONUT WATER

We told you there were going to be some tips related to nature, and this is one of them. In Brazil, it’s very easy to find coconut water – both the natural version (in which you drink directly from the coconut) and the bottled one. However, not only is coconut water great for the body, but it is also great for some DIY treatments!

One of the most famous supermodels from the country, Alessandra Lima, revealed that she likes to soak some cotton pads on coconut water and simply apply it to the skin! Awesome, isn’t it? 

4. VITAMIN C ALL THE WAY

You may already know that vitamin C is great for the skin. Brazilian women know that and love to add vitamin C serum to their skincare routine! This nutrient is known for its antioxidant properties, as well as its ability to make skin glow and reduce aging signs! 

A lot of Brazilian also try to ingest high amounts of vitamin C. One thing they do is orange and mango juice: nutritious and delicious!

5. ALOE VERA, WE LOVE YOU

Most Brazilian households have a “babosa” vase. Translating that for you: almost every Brazilian woman has her own aloe vera plant! Isn’t that amazing? Women from all over the country love to do some DIY hair masks with aloe vera! They simply cut one piece of the plant and pour the “gel” out of it, mix it into their conditioner, and done! 

6. TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET!

Odds are you have read about or even done yourself a Brazilian “maniped”! In Brazil, women are known for getting weekly manicures and pedicures, with a special focus on the feet. Not only do they paint their toenails, but they also exfoliate and moisturize their feet! By doing so, they guarantee that they can use flip-flops and rock some gorgeous bare feet!

7. SUNSCREEN 24/7

Ok, so this beauty tip is actually known to be very important all around the world… But Brazilian women wear sunscreen every single day! And that’s mainly because of the tropical weather – even when it’s rainy or cloudy, the sun is there to affect the skin. Also, this tip is extremely related to their smooth skin fame, so if you don’t use sunscreen already, do it now! In a few years’ time, you will thank yourself for using it.
