Alternative Sunshine Therapy
The sun delivers Vitamin D, which boosts the immune system, helps prevent osteoporosis, and acts as a key component in fighting various cancers, according to Dr. Andrew Weil. But believe it or not, despite San Diego’s 300-plus sunny days, an alarming number of locals have low levels of this important vitamin. For a luxurious dose of Vitamin D, try the Resurfacing Body Wrap at The Lodge at Torrey Pines spa. After a dry brush and glycolic gel exfoliation, the body is covered with VitaD Fortified Topical Elixir (created by local C-bad company Skin Authority) and wrapped snugly, so that healing D can be absorbed internally while you enjoy a scalp massage. Afterward, a light massage with olive, fig and shea butter leaves your skin velvety smooth. 80 minutes/$235, 11480 N Torrey Pines Rd, La Jolla
