Spa Journeys
Hungary. Just because you can't globe-trot to Budapest doesn't mean you can't look as though you did. Opt for the Organic Hungarian Detox Facial ($125) at Spa Radiance and embark on a 75-minute excursion to tranquility. Once you're tucked beneath a down comforter, the 10-step beauty regime (featuring organic ingredients harvested from the fields of Hungary) starts at your feet with warm booties filled with cinnamon and flax seeds. A pumpkin face cleanser is applied for an exfoliation customized to your skin type (rose hip and maize for sensitive skin, paprika and alpha hydroxy acid for clogged pores). Seven-herb, stonecrop, peach and apricot masks are layered in a thick slab. A neck and shoulder massage with hydrating naseberry cream completes the tour, leaving you luminous and refreshed. And to think, you never even had to set foot in SFO. - Jennie Nunn
