Mint has long been used in the beauty industry for its antiseptic, antipruitic and anti-inflammatory properties. We often think of mint for freshening our breath, for relieving aches and pains and even as a clarifying treatment for our scalps. However, mint not only works wonders for those traditional purposes but it’s also great for softening, soothing, refreshing, revitalizing, and calming our skin.

Today I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite skin care products that utilize the amazing properties of mint.

Ole Henriksen has given us the ability to have a beautiful spa experience from our own home with Ole Henriksen Skin Inhalation Therapy. It’s a purifying and revitalizing elixir that eliminates and prevents breakouts while calming and soothing sensitive skin. It invigorates our skin as well as our mood.

Another elixir well worth its weight in gold is from Caudalie Paris. Aptly named “Beauty Elixir,” Caudalie Beauty Elixir promotes and provides an immediate luminosity and radiance to the skin.
