Vacation Classic Lotion SPF 30
All of Vacation's skin care products are specially formulated to remind the wearer of the intoxicating scent of summer. This calls to mind a hot day in the late '80s, with notes of coconut, banana, pool water, pool toy and swimsuit Lycra. It's the most transportive body and skin care product I've ever encountered and I can't get enough of it. Most importantly, it'll keep skin safe from UV rays and it's water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
