From Head to Toe Brazil’s Beauty Secrets
From Gisele to Adriana lima, have you ever wondered why Brazilian women are considered amongst the most attractive in the world?
How do they manage to look so effortlessly beautiful?
Hint: it’s not simply their genes, there’s definitely a whole culture that focuses on natural beauty.
I’m super excited to share some of what I discovered on a recent Brazil trip to research Brazil’s beauty secrets.
Lets begin with their hair.
I am sure you are so curious how these Brazilian beauties keep their hair looking flawless. Well here’s one of their well kept secrets, it’s a famous treatment called Velaterpia. How does this method work?! The answer is quite interesting, a specialized hairstylist grabs sections of your hair and twists it as they burn the fly away strands with a candle light. The result leaves your hair looking smoother and more youthful. One of the most famous salon’s in Brazil that performs this treatment is called Lace and Hair. Their regulars include Super models like Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana, and Gisele. So it’s a must to visit when traveling to Brazil.
Now to their makeup secrets. Their routine for colors focus on a lighter, more simple and natural approach. Heavy dark color makeups when not applied correctly can make us look older. Brazilian women love the warmth of the colors red, pink, and soft orange.
What about their skin secrets? It typically incorporates a routine of exfoliation, weekly lymphatic massage, and a customized skincare routine. They use their sand from local beaches to scrub and reduce cellulite. Lymphatic massage is great for removing excess water and sculpting arms, thighs, and waist. For their skincare routine it’s common to have a dermatologist prescribe a customize regimen.
There’s more to the story, which I’ll be sharing in future blog posts, so make sure your subscribe to my newsletter for updates.

Motivations and Beginnings
After completing medical school, Jacqueline affected deeply by her mother’s contraction of Skin Cancer for a second time – and the fact this affliction was partially attributed to harsh and toxic ingredients found in beauty and skincare products. Shocked by this fact, and determined to prevent this from happening to other women, Jacqueline researched the beauty product industry in depth – learning about the origins of the packaging the products came in, the supply chain involved in creating a product, and most importantly, the exact molecular composition of each and every ingredient in the products being marketed today.
As she discovered more about the impact of this process, she became even more determined to change how these products were made, distributed, and to educate women about the dangers and toxicity in some of the beauty and skincare products available.
