Changes in the season can play nasty “tricks” on your skin. “Treat” yourself to a facial that is natural and great for your skin. Refresh yourself at the spa at MINT in Adams Morgan, Washington, DC. I just had the Seasonal Facial last week and it was wonderful. What a treat! Shirin Rahmatollahi, the licensed aesthetician hand crafts the nourishing masks she applies during the treatment. She utilizes all natural organic ingredients. The seasonal facial is made with ingredients such as pumpkin, cranberries, nutmeg, and honey. This express 35 minute treatment includes your choice of a scalp massage or extractions. If wedding stress has got you down, then go for the scalp massage – Shirin gives one of the best massages I’ve ever had.  Click on the pumpkins above to get to Mint!

Enjoy!
