Ready, set, glow.
When a supermodel I love and brand I’m obsessed with come together, it’s basically impossible not to sit up and take notice. I’ve been stockpiling Sol de Janeiro’s famous Brazilian Bum Bum Cream for years, so I was definitely excited to see Alessandra Ambrosio rocking the most gorgeous head-to-toe glow at the PatBo show during New York Fashion Week thanks to—you guessed it—Sol de Janeiro products. And, while the look created by celebrity hairstylist Dafne Evangelista was achieved with multiple products from the brand, there’s one in particular that really takes the cake.
Achieving a gorgeous glow is paramount in my skin and body care routine, and there’s one specific Sol de Janeiro product that pretty much guarantees exactly that: the brand’s Bum Bum Firmeza Body Oil, which Evangelista incorporated into the hair and body looks she created for the runway show. She applied the firming body oil to Ambrosio’s skin before the show, giving her a hydrated, super supple glow as she walked the runway.

This firming body oil is formulated with the brand’s patented guaraná caffeine complex that’s designed to tighten skin, Brazilian olive oil to moisturize, and a depuffing micro algae extract. It sinks quickly into skin and leaves it feeling quenched and silky smooth without being slippery. Plus, it has Sol de Janeiro’s trademark salted caramel-meets-pistachio scent that you can find in many of their other products, like my beloved Brazilian Bum Bum Cream.
The effortlessly chic hair and makeup looks Evangelista created were the result of a partnership between Brazilian brands PatBo and Sol de Janeiro, which helped bring the spirit of Brazil to the runway. Ambrosio’s long, flowing locks were brought to life with Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Glossy Nourishing Hair Oil, leaving them looking super glossy, healthy, and shiny while embracing her natural texture.
Evangelista also sprayed Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist before and after to lock in a beautiful, sweet-smelling scent. And, much to my delight, she applied Brazilian Bum Bum Cream to the skin before the Firmeza Oil to leave it feeling silky, smooth, and hydrated.

But back to the nourishing body oil. It’s racked up over 1,300 five-star ratings, with many shoppers pointing out its anti-aging properties. One reviewer with “aging [and] crepey skin” said “it lives up to its moisturizing reviews” and “skin is more supple,” while others said they’ve “never seen such amazing and beautiful results” and it made “dried-out mom skin turn youthful again.” Other happy customers said it “blends like a dream” and “smells great and lasts all day.”
And in case you’re wondering whether it really does firm and smooth skin? One InStyle writer raved that after “using it for about a month,” her skin “definitely looks and feels smoother.”
When you want to achieve firmer, smoother, glossier, shinier, and incredible-smelling skin, there’s really only one product to turn to—and that’s the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Firmeza Body Oil. Snap it up for $52 so you can get a glow just like Ambrosio’s.
