Why a Spa Day Is the Perfect Digital Detox

Spending more time looking at screens than looking at people is the new normal. Social media has made us crave digital connections with little doses of dopamine released in our brains every time we check our phones.

But the consequences that come with the overuse of digital devices will make you notice how much your body needs a Spa Day for digital detoxing.

Why do you need a digital detox?

On one hand, blue light exposure emitted from your computer, tablet, phone or television, has shown to cause negative effects on your eyes, your skin, and your sleeping cycles. A digital detox can help you counteract these effects.

On the other hand, surveys show that the information overload from social media, and the constant pressure for having the ‘perfect’ post, affects people’s mental health, triggering stress, anxiety, and depression.

Separating yourself from your phone, or any other digital device for a few hours to enjoy a relaxing day at the Spa can have amazing benefits over your physical and mental health.

You will be so busy enjoying yourself that you won’t even remember to check your phone.

Benefits of a Digital Detox Spa Day

Release built-up tension: constant use of device causes tension in the neck, head, hands, and shoulders, massages help relax the muscles and get rid of the tension.
Reduce eye strain: too many hours in front of the screen can cause irritation and long-term damage to the retina, spending time away from the screen will reduce eye strain, and help your vision.
Improve sleep quality: when you have a digital break from the device’s blue light your sleeping cycle is naturally balanced, promoting better sleep quality.
Reduce stress caused by digital devices: being at the spa enjoying a relaxing treatment will make you forget about checking emails, texts, and social media, which has shown to increase cortisol (stress hormone).
Avoid depression: having a pause from excessive internet use can help you unplug and gain a sense of what’s truly important. Spa treatments promote your energy and improve your mood.
