The trials that Chicago winters impose on hair and skin are as numerous as they are gruesome: chapped lips, dry cheekbones, desiccated elbows, and parched hair are par for the course, and it only gets worse from there.

For a wintry scent and a summery glow: a mint facial at Leah Chavie Salon
Skincare guru Leah Chavie is all about the facial massage. “I use upward motions for everything,” she says. “You can feel your skin tightening and lifting, can’t you?” She’ll customize her mint facial for whatever skin problem you’re having, be it clogged pores or flaky dryness, and you’ll spend the next hour relaxing under heated blankets while she massages your face back to its summery glow.
