24-'HEAVEN'
Bliss Spa at W Los Angeles offers their 24-'heaven' (60 minutes, $155) treatment, aimed to replenish, deeply hydrate and heal irritated or sunburned skin. It's not only good for post-summer skin damage, but for clients seeking relief from eczema and psoriasis as well."Sun damage is one of the top causes of early aging. Overexposure can result in hyperpigmentation and early signs of aging, such as wrinkles, loose skin, and in some instances skin disease. This treatment combats those issues," says spa director Joshua Tims.
The treatment features a custommade soothing mask of oatmeal, tea, honey, milk and the spa's own healing body balm, which is applied to the entire body. A scalp massage or hair treatment follows, and the service concludes with a Vichy shower with one of the spa's body wash scents and application of their moisturizer.
"The oatmeal, tea and honey are calming, while the milk and healing balm contain lactic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin,” says Tims. “For those with recent sun exposure, we do a body temperature wrap and for those who need deeper hydration, we do a warm wrap. It's okay for someone who has a slight first-degree burn, but if they have a fever or blisters, we cannot perform this treatment.”
