Sol de Janeiro

Does anybody know if sol de janeiro is acne safe? I've been thinking about trying it out but my skin is super sensitive and a lot of products make it break out, so I would love to hear any experiences you've had with it!

Re: Sol de Janeiro

@lelysen  If youโ€™re talking about your body skin (not facial skin): Iโ€™ve used Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Visibly Firming Refillable Body Cream with Caffeine-Rich Guaranร   on my shoulders, which are acne-prone. I didnโ€™t use it daily though, just a couple days a week when I wasnโ€™t using my usual unscented body cream. I didnโ€™t get more acne on my shoulders. But if your body skin is sensitive to fragrance, SdJโ€™s body creams, oils, washes, and sunscreen are loaded with it so you may wanna avoid them. 

For facial skin, the only SdJ product Iโ€™d maybe try is Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Kiss Cupuaรงu Lip Butter 0.21 oz/ 6.2g. Thatโ€™s the only product the brand has tested on facial skin and recommends using on the face as a moisturizer or dewy highlighter. But since this lip balm has the same scent as the Bum Bum Cream, I wouldnโ€™t use it on my own face (my facial skinโ€™s sensitive to fragrance). And I canโ€™t say it will or wonโ€™t cause acne.

@lelysen SDJ products are meant for body, not face. If you are looking for products meant specifically for sensitive skin on your face, First Aid Beauty is a good brand to check out.

Donโ€™t put any of the products on your face, itโ€™s going to clog your pores and CAUSE acne. But itโ€™s safe for acne ๐Ÿฅฐ
