My skin is a dry skin type with more than just a little tightness and discomfort. Every winter since I was in middle school, small patches of scaly psoriasis would appear when the temperature dropped and the heating turned on. Relapses are accompanied by itching, discomfort, and sometimes an unpleasant appearance, requiring a multi-year journey to find the perfect lotion. While some can help soothe itching and reduce skin peeling, very few actually leave you with soft skin. But this year I tried a new body butter and my psoriasis-prone skin became completely smooth despite the winter conditions.
Sol de Janeiro is a well-known brand on the internet. in style, the beauty editor is obsessed with everything from the popular Brazilian Boom Bum cream that sells every eight seconds to skin-tightening body oils. While I agree that this brand’s staple products are that good (and yes, they smell so delicious), one thing that completely surprised me is the newly launched Delicia Drench Body Butter.

This new addition to the Sol de Janeiro family is the brand’s thickest cream to date. When you scoop it out of the tub, the body butter is very thick and almost solid. However, after a few seconds of warming the lotion in your hands, it quickly transforms into a smooth, creamy formula that melts into your skin. One shopper wrote, “The consistency and effectiveness of this cream make it a peak winter staple for me,” adding that despite its initial thickness, the body butter “glides onto the skin very easily.” It blends into the skin and feels as smooth as silk.”
Delicia Drench Cream is formulated with moisturizing and skin-soothing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and anti-inflammatory passionflower seed oil, which combine to transform my dry, irritated skin from that of a baby’s. It has become soft and soothing. And according to someone who has to wash his hands “at least 20-30 times a day” for work, the cream “rehydrated” chapped skin and left his hands “so soft.”
Plus, I get constant compliments because of the scent. If you’re wondering what Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench smells like, I would describe it as the perfect mixture of warm and sweet with notes of plum, vanilla, violets, and amber. While many of Sol de Janeiro’s scents are more summery, such as the Tropical She Mix designed for the beach, this combination is perfect for winter looks. One shopper wrote, “The scent is very vanilla with a slight floral note,” and described the scent as “beautiful,” light, and versatile. Another said, “This scent is divine and literally lasts all day,” while another said the scent still lingered for a whole day after applying the lotion.
For dry, cracked winter skin that needs more TLC than standard lotions can provide, Sol de Janeiro’s new Delicia Drench Body Butter is essential. Get the moisturizer you need today for just $48.
