It’s January, and there’s no vacation from the cold in sight.
Happily, you can find a tropical pick-me-up in the form of beauty products. Creams, bath potions and hair products are being infused with tantalizing aromas that channel lazy, sun-drenched afternoons by the sea.
Close your eyes. Take a whiff. And start saving for next year.
