The Spa at Mint’s Illuminating and Brightening Facial

Good evening, and welcome to The Spa at Mint. Massage table for one? Right this way, please.

Today’s special is the Illuminating and Brightening Facial, a succulent five-course prix fixe.

Amuse
A blend of fortified oils (olive, kukui) melts environmental pollutants away.

Appetizer
Papaya, grapefruit, and cucumber extracts rid skin of everyday dirt and grime in a light, soapy lather.

Starter
A rice grain, licorice, green tea, and oatmeal exfoliant removes dry skin and balances uneven pigments.

Entree
A special recipe of blueberries, wild pansies, tomato extract, rosemary, and oats is slathered on for an intense moisture overhaul, followed by a light facial massage to revitalize, lift, and tone.

Dessert
After you’re spritzed with ocean water, a sweet mango and orange smoothie awaits you at the juice bar.

Please enjoy.

Available at The Spa at Mint, 1724 California Street NW, at Florida Avenue (202-328-6468 or mintfitness.com).
