Self-Gifting 101: Treat Yourself to a Brazilian Beauty Ritual

Self-gifting is one of the most underrated parts of the holiday season. We love sharing presents with others, but at the end of the day, who knows us better than we know ourselves? When it comes to Sol de Janeiro self-gifting, “treating yourself” becomes a full-on glow-enhancing ritual. Talk about gifts that keep on giving. Keep reading for our self-gifting beauty treats to add to your wish list.

What Is Self-Gifting & Why It Matters

It’s all in the name! Self-gifting is the act of treating yourself to things that bring you joy. This can happen during the holiday season, or really anytime of year. We especially love a self-gifting moment during the holidays. The season can get so busy, and an act of self-care becomes necessary.

The Power of Ritual in Self-Gifting

At Sol de Janeiro, everything goes back to our favorite Brazilian beauty rituals. Every day of the year we focus on enhancing connection, confidence, and glow—and during the holidays, we up the ante. Ahead, find out how to create your own self-gifting ritual with Sol de Janeiro products.

Build Your Sol de Janeiro Self-Gifting Routine

The best self-gifting ideas start with a body care ritual. Here’s our step-by-step guide to indulging—and glowing.

Step 1: Start with a Luxurious Shower

It all starts in the shower. Our hydrating, exceptionally scented body washes make your shower feel like a spa experience, even if you only have a few minutes. Each body wash has powerful, skin care-like ingredients made to address every concern. Try our Brazilian Play Body Wash, scented with the iconic Cheirosa 62™ fragrance, for extra nourishment, or our Beija Flor™ Renewing Body Wash, which has a gentle retinol alternative and plant squalane to promote suppleness for replenished skin.

Step 2: Exfoliate for Renewal

When you’re thinking of the best self-care gifts for me, they should feature some sort of massage, don’t you think? Consider exfoliation a form of renewal; shedding the old (literally!) to reveal a new glow and energy. Our visibly smoothing Bum Bum Body Scrub and visibly brightening Bom Dia Bright™ Scrub make excellent self-gifting body care, offering gentle exfoliation and benefits with irritating your skin.

Step 3: Nourish with Oils & Creams

Moisturizing and nourishing your skin is a self-care ritual we believe in. When it comes to self-gifting skin care, our iconic body creams or lotions are a need, not a want. For extra-dry skin, go for our ultra-rich Delícia Drench™ Body Butter, which has hyaluronic acid and Bacuri butter to lock in moisture and replenish skin’s barrier.

To take the ritual even further, layer our Bum Bum Firmeza Oil on top; thislightweight body oil helps visibly firm skin, leaving it nourished, never greasy.

Step 4: Add Fragrance to Boost Your Mood—and Confidence

Sol de Janeiro perfume mists are the final step in your treat-yourself beauty ritual. Whether you have a signature scent or like to change it up, spritzing one one just gives your day that extra oomph. We also love to layer our perfume mists. Our uplifting Cheirosa 59 and iconic Cheirosa 62™ have vanilla and sandalwood notes that complement each other for a unique, irresistible scent.
