A Guide to Brazilian-Style Beauty

Conde Naste Traveler magazine recently published a wonderful article exposing the beauty secrets of Brazilian women. It is no surprise that this natural wonder with its remarkable coastlines, vibrant culture, lush rainforests, unique wildlife and bikini-clad sun-worshippers is home to some of the most beautiful women in the world. According to the article, the girl from Ipanema relies on the following:

1) The Perfect Tan: this includes sunscreen, plenty of carrot and beet juice (to intensify the tan / help with the skin turning dark), ensuring the maintenance of a year-round base tan, and rubbing sand on oneself.

2) A berry diet: Açai (the tiny purple berry that has become popular in the US lately) provides protein and healthy fat as well as antioxidents to help prevent the signs of aging and sun damage. This is a no brainer...açai is an excellent snack and can be found at most juice stands around Rio de Janeiro. It's great with some granola on top!

3) Bare it all: A quick glance around Rio will reveal that this is a beach culture. Women are used to wearing very little and are amazingly comfortable with their bodies (despite.. or maybe because of the fact that they have such a high rate of plastic surgery). Visitors should note that going topless is not the norm in Brazil (contrary to popular belief), so as small as that bikini may be - don't leave it at home!

Thank you, that is very helpful to know about a vegan squalene alternative! Do you know if squalene is effective on its own as a moisturizer, or does it need to be mixed with other ingredients in order to be effective?
