Babassu Oil
Brazilian women have used Babassu oil for hundreds of years to keep their skin soft, smooth, and beautiful.
Babassu oil is a light, non-greasy natural emollient that moisturizes the skin. It is excellent for dry as well as normal and oily skin types. The physical and chemical properties of Babassu oil are most similar to coconut oil. In temperate climates Babassu oil, unlike olive or almond oils, is actually a semi-solid creamy texture at room temperature and melts upon contact with skin, which is at a warmer temperature.
Babassu oil can be used “straight up” applied to the skin, as a massage oil, or in the bath, but is usually combined with other essential oils.

The exotic looks and figures of Brazilian women are the envy of females around the world, so we're dying to know some of their tips. And it's actually quite simple - sand! While relaxing on the beach Brazilian beauties rub wet sand on their bodies to smooth and stimulate their skin, and combat the dreaded cellulite. Try it at home: Unless you live near a warm, sandy beach, this isn't going to be easy so instead pop into Lush for Sandstone soap (£1.95, 100g). It contains skin nourishing vitamins and minerals to pummel and polish the skin, then turn it to the sand-topped side and it transforms into an exfoliator to beat stubborn cellulite.www.lush.com
How To Give Yourself A Brazilian Bikini Wax?
Before you give yourself a brazilian bikini wax, be warned that most women don't find it comfortable. Pulling out your pubic hair and ripping them out from the roots is not the best feeling - After all, you are dealing with your most sensitive and intimate regions. Make sure that you want to have a brazilian bikini wax - You may get a standard bikini wax or a full bikini which can cause you less damage.
The first step would be to make a long warm shower washing and cleaning your pubic area. Then, trim down your pubic hair with scissors or with a shaver till it will have a length of a quarter inch.
Use a hard wax (A low temperature one) for a less painful process. Smooth the wax with a pre-waxing oil before applying it over your hair. This oil keeps it from sticking to the skin, and allows the wax to be used without strips, making for a much more comfortable experience. As the wax cools, it basically shrink-wraps each hair and pulls it out from the root. You may remove some stubborn hair with a set of tweezers.
Use a big mirror and move into any position you think will be more comfort - put your legs up, on the sides or even over your head. If you feel the pain is unbearable stop until you feel you are ready to go on.
once you finished with the waxing process and you are happy with your brazilian bikini wax, you should apply a soothing lotion on your bikini area.
If done correctly, your pubic area will stay smooth for anywhere between 14 and 25 days. We advice you to go to a professional salon to do your first brazilian bikini wax. After watching the therapist and feeling the discomfort and pain you will be able to decide whether you wish to give yourself the next brazilian wax.
