Banana Foster Facial at Dorit Baxter

This skin-brightening treatment was inspired by owner Dorit Baxter's favorite desert. It begins with an exfoliation using a brown sugar-and-dark rum concoction, which has a grainy texture and refreshes skin. Then, elasticizing whipped cream is massaged onto the epidermis to make it feel smoother. It is followed by a toner, created from cinnamon and water, which acts as an astringent and antiseptic. The big finale includes a mask comprised of vanilla ice cream and bananas that provides your mug with nourishing milk and vitamins, such as potassium, B6, and C. The whole aromatic, sensual experience will have you licking your lips.
