Brazilian beauty is undeniably one of the most admired internationally. This is because Brazilian ladies do not embrace one standard of beauty. They also do not go for artificial beauty enhancements. Instead, they prefer that genuine fresh Latina look from the inside out.

Brazilian Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima confirmed this idea, noting that her country is not home to "just one beauty ideal," per Harper's Bazaar.

"There's a lot of emphasis on a woman's natural beauty-but of course, Brazilian women love expressing their beauty through makeup. Brazilian women are taught to take care of themselves. They start their beauty routine at a young age, which is the key to aging beautifully," she explained.

Among the not-so-popularly-known beauty secrets among Brazilian beauties is the special kind of massage, known as the lymphatic drainage.

According to Beauty and Tips, Latinas in Brazil love having this massage on a weekly basis in order to get rid of those excess fluids in the body, thereby shaping it into that sensual-looking body.

This French massage was born in the early 20th century, and maintains glowing and supple skin as well as a healthy lymphatic system.

"The effect on the skin is secondary but no less important. Lymphatic drainage involves massaging the lymph nodes in your face or the whole body, which releases toxins stored in the body and flushes them out," the outlet explained.

Another unexplored beauty secret from the Brazilian Victoria's Secret Angel is drinking coconut water regularly. 

"I drink at least one coconut water a day -- it gives you that healthy, glowing skin. Juices with native fruits like acai and acerola are also amazing," she told Harper's Bazaar.

Coconut water contains compounds known as cytokinins, which are known to have anti-aging effects, according to Beauty and Tips.

Aside from that, it also contains necessary minerals like magnesium, iron, and zinc as well as all members of the B-Complex vitamins. Coconut water is the perfect substitute to synthetic food supplements that may have adverse effects on the body.

As you may have already noticed, Brazilian ladies are well-versed in the necessary nutrients that their body requires in order to achieve its optimum condition.

Because of this, the third and final beauty secret to be featured in this article is the magical effects of carrots on the skin.

This vitamin A-rich vegetable is also packed with vitamin C, which is the most powerful antioxidant to slow the aging process.

Vitamin C also helps promote the body's production of collagen that make skin elastic and supple, thereby lessening the presence of wrinkles.
