Love Island stars using £20 Boots body cream shoppers say is 'so beautiful and addictive'

The new cast of winter Love Island 2023 will be soaking it up on our screens tonight, as the cast escape the colder UK weather for some South African sun, on ITV2.

And whilst looking for their match the new cast of singles will be flaunting popular Boots products. The latest beauty, makeup and fashion trends are flaunted by islanders each year, be it a viral bikini, make-up brand or popular scent, with viewers at home wanting to get their hands on the 'much-loved' products too. And attention to detail on what type of make-up or dress islanders are wearing get even more attention if they are paired with a dramatic recoupling.

The Sol de Janerio Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, last year's 'summer essential' for many is making a comeback in 2023, as it becomes a key staple product for the islanders in the villa. Known to add a touch of shimmer to the standard body cream it's infused with pistachio and salted caramel, which has become a well-known fragrance for many.

It's not surprising to see this summer scent as a feature in this year Love Island's dressing room, as it's favoured for sooth feeling skin. As the name may give away Sol de Janeiro cream includes Guaraná and Cupuaçu butter from the Amazon rainforest, to help the skin's circulation and moisture.

The brand is known for its vibrant and very distinct fragrance, As well as the original scent, other scents of Sol de Janeiro include Beija Flor, Bom Dia Bright and Crush Cheirosa (a Brazillian jasmine and pink dragonfruit).

Many users of the cream saying they have no need to use perfume since thanks to its strong scent, one Boots shopper said: "I absolutely love all of these creams but the scent of this one is so beautiful and addictive! I love the salted caramel and pistachio aroma.

"It actually smells like i have put perfume on. The cream is so silky and absorbs into the skin completely and leaves it really soft."

Another lover of the product stated it smelt 'insane', they said: "I've wanted to buy this cream for a really long time and read loads of reviews saying how moisturising it is.

"I have really dry skin and this does absolutely nothing for it. It smells insane so I feel I'll just use this cream as a topper and especially when I'm going out."

To celebrate the new season of Love Island Boots are offering 20% off selected beauty staples this Thursday, January 20, as the retailer becomes the official beauty partner. All make-up, skincare, toiletry, sanitary, and sun care products seen from the dressing room and around the pool will be available to buy at Boots.

Of course there are some other popular brand names in the villa, including Giorgio Armani, Elemis, Fenty and Liz Earle. This year the contestants will also be swapping the Dyson airwrap for the other well-known hair care brand, Shark.

Boots will stock Shark Style IQ hair dryers and stylers in the villa for the new series, which will no doubt be seen regularly as the islanders get ready for dates over the next eight weeks.

Boots, which supplies beauty and makeup for the series says it will be using the £200 Shark hair dryers as part of the beauty packages sent for use by the contestants.

Shoppers can buy the full range of products as seen on Love Island, here, at Boots.
