Scrubs of the Season

Toward the end of the year, the scents tend to become sweeter, spicier and just more comforting”¦even in so-called Seasonless Los Angeles. Pumpkin pancakes and spice cupcakes replace the summer fruit flavors wafting from the 3rd Street cafes and spas change up services to include delicious autumnal treatments.

The Ginger Rub Bliss Los Angeles

The 135-minute Ginger Rub at Bliss in the W hotel Westwood rings in the season with a warming wrap and detoxification. Freshly grated ginger root and warm essential oils are scrubbed on briskly from head to toe, followed by a warming foil wrap, 20-minute soak and 100 heavenly minutes of body-melting massage.
