I Tried a "Digital Detox" Spa Treatment and Here's What I Thought

The most soothing 60 minutes you'll experience

But wait, there's more de-stressing in store Digital Detox is currently offered at two locations: one in Santa Monica, California, the other in New York City. Since I'm in LA, I went to the Santa Monica location. From the second you walk in, you are met with an incredibly relaxing atmosphere. The dimly lit, modern décor primes you for what's to come next. After completing a skin and health self-assessment, I was led to a private room lit with pretty, violet-hued light. After getting into my spa wrap, and comfortably tucked under the sheet of the treatment table, my esthetician placed a weighted blanket over my body. If you've never experienced a weighted blanket, it's like being embraced in the most terrific bear hug that melts away all tension, anxiety and negative thoughts.

Soothing music plays in the background as my treatment begins. My esthetician begins cleansing my face (I happened to mention I loved lavender, so she used some lavender-scented products throughout the treatment.) Touch therapy is also utilized in the form of a facial massage to promote lymphatic drainage and better circulation.
