Wellness Staycation Guide"},"content":{"rendered":"

Your day-by-day itinerary for yoga, massages, wellness smoothies and a little self-care \u2014 all without leaving the city<\/p>\n

In a city that turns health practices into\u00a0lifestyles, social scenes and status symbols, L.A. is the perfect place to celebrate Wellness Month. There\u2019s no need to travel to Indonesia for herbal tonics or Seoul for a Korean spa when you can find world-class wellness experiences and products right here in the City of Angels.<\/p>\n

So, call out of work and book yourself a little staycation. Consider this your itinerary for a wellness retreat \u2014 no plane ticket required.<\/p>\n

Morning Routine<\/p>\n

Start your day with Tomorrowland and Grown Alchemist\u2019s Elixir Hydrating Mist<\/a>. Their newest collaboration has resulted in a refreshing, hydrating combination that wakes up skin through Grown Alchemist\u2019s advanced hydrating formula and Tomorrowland\u2019s signature \u201cElixir of Life\u201d scent, which reenergizes the senses \u2014 the ideal way to start a day of wellness.<\/p>\n

Throw the Elixir Hydrating Mist in your purse and carry it with you throughout the day to rehydrate when needed, or just to enjoy the calming notes of moss, reishi mushroom and minerals.<\/p>\n

Before you hit the city streets, SPF is a must regardless of whether or not you hop on this wellness itinerary train. And who better to recommend a glowy sunscreen than the queen of radiance herself, Nicole Kidman?<\/p>\n

Cl\u00e9 de Peau Beaut\u00e9\u2019s<\/a> Advanced Protective Day Cream SPF 25 further increases skin hydration while protecting it from harmful rays. The cream, used by ambassador Kidman, works with the skin\u2019s natural 24-hour circadian rhythm, supporting both skin firmness and elasticity.<\/p>\n

Next, throw on your athleisure, grab a bottle of Evian and your yoga mat, and hit Satorii Yoga + Wellness on Santa Monica Boulevard in Sawtelle \u2014 soon to be moving down the street to Santa Monica, next to Bluey\u2019s BBQ.<\/p>\n

Opened in 2023 by Ashby Drake, who saw a gap that needed to be filled while teaching yoga in L.A. in her early 20s, Satorii\u2019s vision is to foster deeper community connections between \u201ccurious movers and stillness seekers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Satorii offers classes at every level, from its SLOW class, which combines yin and intuitive movement to calm the nervous system and release tension, to its CONDITION class, a heated flow that prioritizes strength.<\/p>\n

If you find the idea of flow and flexibility intimidating, Satorii\u2019s BREATH class provides the ultimate unwinding experience through breathwork and a healing sound bath.<\/p>\n

Afternoon Excursions <\/p>\n

The NOW Massage<\/a> is the ideal place to add relaxation to your L.A. day. With boutiques located across the city, NOW offers Angelenos a traditional massage experience elevated through customizable treatments designed to help you hit the reset button.<\/p>\n

NOW\u2019s signature Swedish-style massage is the perfect companion to Satorii\u2019s CONDITION class, helping soothe muscles after an intense workout. If you\u2019re committing to this day of intensive self-discovery, The Healer is recommended, featuring a combination of body, mind, spirit and energy-balancing massage techniques.<\/p>\n

At the risk of sounding like an L.A. clich\u00e9, an Erewhon smoothie is a must to follow up the massage. Overpriced for a reason \u2014 the hype is real \u2014 Erewhon offers an array of wellness-focused smoothies made with high-end organic bases, fresh fruit and premium wellness supplements such as sea moss, collagen and blue spirulina.<\/p>\n

For those looking to improve their skin\u2019s hydration and elasticity, Hailey Bieber\u2019s Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie is the obvious choice. To further soothe sore muscles and revitalize the body after a high-stress or active week, the Amino Acid Trip Smoothie should be at the top of your list.<\/p>\n

An Evening at Home<\/p>\n

For this spa evening, travel back home \u2014 my personal happy place \u2014 and dim the lights. Light a candle. May I recommend Salt & Stone\u2019s limited-edition candle<\/a> in collaboration with Cherry?<\/p>\n

The beautifully packaged, sleek Leather & Desert Grass candle is smooth yet smoky and rich, emanating hints of tobacco blossom and cactus water with a sharp apricot undertone when lit.<\/p>\n

Once the mood is set, it\u2019s time for the ultimate spa treatment from the comfort of your own space. Throw out the tired face mask and focus on your body as a whole \u2014 the ultimate theme of this wellness day.<\/p>\n

INYOUN is the first body sheet mask for extremely dry, irritated or sensitive skin. Clinically backed and dermatologist-tested, the sheet can aid ailments ranging from dry skin to sunburns and eczema. The brand was founded by Michelle Soo In Lee<\/a>, a self-proclaimed \u201cpsoriasis warrior,\u201d after she and her sister were diagnosed with plaque and guttate psoriasis.<\/p>\n

The INYOUN <\/a>body mask will provide the spa experience your skin deserves and can add to a self-care routine that extends beyond this wellness day.<\/p>\n

Now that the body has received some much-needed love, we can turn back to the face. End the night with the ultimate skin-care routine with Sweet Chemistry<\/a>, a regenerative skin-care brand that uses Matrikynes\u00ae ECM polypeptides for the ultimate skin repair. Its formula aims to clinically improve the skin barrier, density, hydration, pigmentation and lines.<\/p>\n

Begin with the Barrier Repairing Hydra-Serum, which is great for all skin types, as a base. Then layer on the Hydra-Cream for improvements in hyperpigmentation and fine lines.<\/p>\n

Now comes the most important part of the night \u2014 sleep. The body performs much of its physical repair during deep sleep, when blood supply to muscles increases, tissue grows and repairs and bones and muscles are built. Seven to eight hours is recommended, so plan accordingly.<\/p>\n

While this schedule aims to provide the perfect L.A. wellness day experience, each section of this itinerary can be implemented into a daily routine. So, as Wellness Month comes to a close, focus on prioritizing yourself and making healthy practices a habit.<\/p>\n
