To get that glowing skin without exposing yourself to harmful UV rays, try Glowmotions by Sol de Janeiro, in Copacabana, which can be used on all skin types. It offers a wide range of bronze colors that include cupuaçu butter, ideal for moisturizing and restoring the skin’s elasticity; açaí oil, with antioxidant properties; and coconut oil to make your skin look and feel younger. Find it at Sephora for $35.
How do you use it? Easy. When applying it to the body, you should rub it all the way in, and when if you apply it to your face, it's recommended to mix it with foundation.
