Dear Minties: Lately, has your skin been feeling itchy? Scaly? Dry? You may have a case of winter skin! You’re not alone. Heating systems and winter air can dry out the skin, taking away that supple look that we all love so much. As usual, our skin wizard Shirin has something for you:

“Here is a tip for a night moisturizer for the winter,” Shirin says. “Hydrate clean skin with sweet almond oil that’s been infused with a drop or two of frankincense and/or myrhh…this mixture is great for general hydration and also anti-aging!”

Try it out! Let us know how it works…

And if that sounded too complicated, the spa and book an appointment with Shirin. 202. 328. MINT
