On her Tour of Beauty in Brazil, Rachel goes in search of the Brazilian secrets to a joyful life. Where do they get their sheer energy and passion, and why is everyone so comfortable in a bikini?
Starting in the city of Salvador in the north east of Brazil, Rachel checks out the Brazilian beach scene with local model Fernanda and learns more about being body confident in a bikini.
Then taking some shade from the sun, Rachel gets a Samba lesson from a local teacher - and in the market she samples a huge array of local tropical fruits with loads of health benefits.
In the capital Rio, Rachel meets natural cosmetic maker Carolina Cronenberger who makes incredible cosmetics from natural ingredients.
She also meets Ivo Pitanguy, known as the godfather of plastic surgery, rumoured to have worked on many Hollywood stars. His attitude towards surgery is quite unexpected.
