While some body oils can be greasy and sticky, Sensationnelle absorbs within seconds and its spray pump prevents it from being messy (we’ve done our share of couch staining while testing various other oils). Its brilliance doesn’t just end with the body: spritz a little on the tips of your hair to prevent it from getting sun-fried. </p><p>Best of all, skip the perfume: this stuff smells like a tropical vacation. —Anya Georgijevic</p><p class="dose-info">$42 at <a href="http://www1.shoppersdrugmart.ca" target="_blank">Shoppers Drug Mart</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="meta-block"> <div class="dose-links"><h4 color: #444444!important;>HEALTH & BEAUTY</h4><h5 style="color: #444444!important;">RELATED DOSES</h5><div class="links"><ul class="rn_related"> <li><a href="http://vitamindaily.com/content/showering-au-naturel">Bathing Au Naturel</a></li><li><a href="http://vitamindaily.com/content/smooth-minimal">smooth move</a></li><li><a href="http://vitamindaily.com/content/summer-city">summer in the city</a></li></ul> </div><h5 style="color: #444444!important;">TAGS</h5><p><a href="http://vitamindaily.com/vancouver/tag/31">beauty products</a>, <a href="http://vitamindaily.com/vancouver/tag/2810">body oil</a>, <a href="http://vitamindaily.com/vancouver/tag/816">moisturizer</a></p></div></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/vitamindaily/vancouver?a=RydnoMWwXSM:T-9Udgze_64:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/vitamindaily/vancouver?a=RydnoMWwXSM:T-9Udgze_64:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/vitamindaily/vancouver?a=RydnoMWwXSM:T-9Udgze_64:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Hip to be hippie</h1> <p>Vitamin Daily — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 04:00:00 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-content field-field-content"> <div class="field-items"> <p class="dose-intro">Reading and understanding the ingredients in a beauty product usually requires a degree in chemistry. </p><p>So when we find a product that lists USDA certified organic ingredients like grapeseed oil, rosehip oil, and shea butter, we actually know and understand what is going on our skin.
