Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound offering holistic healing properties, has been the breakout ingredient of 2018, particularly in the beauty and wellness industry. On October 1, The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Los Angeles and JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa introduced restorative treatments incorporating CBD into their spa menus.

CBD is known for its numerous benefits, among them decreased inflammation, relief in muscle tension, reduced anxiety and stress, and more. See the latest CBD spa treatments:

The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Los Angeles

• CBD Healing Massage: A tailored experience for those looking to combat a demanding work week, relentless aches and pains, or tension from a cross-town commute. This massage offers a natural resolve beginning with a preliminary consultation with a spa therapist to identify specific needs and preferences. Guests can then elect for a drop of CBD tincture under the tongue which promotes serenity. The full-body massage will incorporate up to five activated hemp-based products to encourage a sense of serenity (50 minutes | $245 or 80 minutes | $310).  

• CBD Pedicure: Reduce anxiety by selecting a lavender CBD bath bomb promoting relaxation and calm, or a citrus CBD bath bomb to boost energy and establish mental clarity. A salt-based scrub is applied to legs and feet to resolve dehydration, followed by a topical CBD oil, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. The pedicure is complete with a cuticle clean-up and polish of choice (50 minutes | $120).

To customize any of the Spa’s signature treatments, guests can request an addition of CBD oil application ($40 enhancement fee). To make an appointment, call The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Los Angeles at 213-763-4400 or go online.
