What is a Digital Detox? Technology, love it or hate it, runs many of our lives. Sure, our smart phones, computers and other tech devices make our lives simpler, but they can also wreak havoc on stress levels, sleep patterns and our skin. Being constantly connected means we are often overstimulated, over-stressed and constantly being exposed to blue light.

Digital Detox is designed to be a 60 minute break from technology; quieting and focusing the mind, to allow for more creativity, mindfulness, better sleep and in turn, better skin. When we are in a relaxed state, our bodies secrete less of the stress hormones that destroy our complexions. By taking the occasional downtime to detox from technology, we give our skin a chance to rebuild and repair itself from the occasional stress, pollution and free-radical damage we subject it to daily. This is why this new treatment utilizes products to pump your skin full of antioxidants to speed up the healing process and leave you with the ultimate glow.
