New Spa Treatments for Spring

New Spa Treatments for Spring

By

It's spa week, people—that time of year when it's basically your civic duty to get pampered. Here are three of our editor-approved treatments that usher in the season.


Italian Blood Orange Sea Salt Scrub - Nob Hill Spa

Although San Francisco spring is a relative term, the changing of the seasons made us a bit nervous about showing skin—until we visited the Nob Hill Spa. Their seasonal body scrub was a treat for the senses, with an abundance of citrus and a gentle scrub to slough our winter skin away. After the rinsing shower and body cream application, shorts were suddenly much less intimidating. Pro tip: Arrive as early as you can before your appointment to take advantage of the spa's serene setting, including a soaking pool, whirlpool, and al fresco deck complete with lounge chairs and table service. $140. 1075 California Street (Nob Hill).

In Fiore Facial - International Orange

If you struggle daily in the pursuit of porelessness, this treatment's a winner. A thorough yet gentle cleanse prepped our skin for the series of treatments, which included a brightening peel, nourishing mask, and extractions that rated low on pain and high on efficiency. A vigorous facial massage soothed our muscled and toned our jaw, and the end results were downright red carpet-worthy. $205. 2044 Fillmore Street, 2nd Floor (Pacific Heights).

Eastern Spring Awakening - SenSpa

This zen-inducing treatment delivers a soft, smooth body and a calm, mindful spirit in just one hour. Our session began with a bamboo/lemongrass/pink grapefruit scrub and a rain shower to rinse, followed by a technique called tapotement, a rhythmic tapping technique traditional in Swedish massage that increases circulation. Post-tapping, the technician slathered us in Tara Spring Renewal aromatherapy oil and cocooned us in cozy blankets to let our skin drink up the moisture. With a scalp massage and foot reflexology to wrap up the treatment, we were baby-soft and had a whole new outlook on life. $150. 1161 Gorgas Avenue (Presidio).
