Summer vacations have many of us jetting off to tropical, sunny destinations where we’ll be firmly planted in sit-back-and-relax position. But, let’s face it, between deadlines at work and other obligations—cough, cough…bills—a tropical vacation isn’t always in the budget cards. Thankfully, you don’t need a passport to enjoy the skin soothing benefits of these two transporting body lotions. One whiff and it’s just like being on that tropical island—or at least the next best thing. The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body SorbetWith its perfect blend of refreshing mint, fresh lime—and, more often than not, a little rum—the mojito is one of the most quintessential “I’ll get back to you Monday, I’m on vacation” drinks. While one-too-many mojitos can be dehydrating, The Body Shop’s Virgin Mojito Body Sorbet is quite the opposite. This refreshing body moisturizer features a unique lightweight gel texture that delivers lasting hydration along with its unbelievably refreshing mojito scent. Inspired by the classic cocktail’s own recipe, the moisturizer uses extracts of Caribbean lime and mint—along with skin soothing aloe vera—and is truly a tropical vacation in a tube.The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Sorbet, find a store near youCarol’s Daughter Ocean Moisturizing Body Butter CreamTropical cocktails aside, perhaps nothing evokes visions of vacation quite like the rising and falling of the tides.
