It is so dry


I have been in Iqaluit for 8 weeks, in which time my body has absorbed the contents of a huge vat of Cocoa Butter that would have lasted me 6 months in the damp costal climate of BC. I exfoliate and moisturize my body and apply various concoctions from Skoah to my face but still I feel all dried up... like a middle-aged lady who spends too much time in the Palm Springs sun.

On my return to Vancouver I will be checking into Miraj for a Hammam & Gommage with Orientale Massage & Nettoyage de Peau. Essentially this involves sitting in a steam room for 20 minutes drinking lots of water and trying not to pass out, you are then laid on a marble slab and scrubbed all over with a pumice soap before being rinsed off. Head swimming and skin tingling, you stumble to the treatment room and collapse on the massage table. After a gentle facial you are anointed with scented oils and massaged back to life. The treatment complete, you are given a robe and led to the lounge for sweet mint tea and cake. Try it, you won't regret it.
