Say a Little Prayer

Organic Fusion Massage at IO

You treat your body like a temple (plenty of rest, water, yoga). But those occasional prayers to the porcelain god betray your lapses in devotion.

Get up off your knees and onto the table for an organic fusion massage at International Orange. Using the spa’s new signature products, the shiatsu/ Swedish/ Thai combo turns sinners back into saints.

The rubdown begins with Anoint body oil, an antioxidant rich potion that heals, protects, and hydrates the skin. Green tea and grapeseed oil help eliminate free radicals and encourage cell rejuvenation (brain cells not included). White lotus and jasmine flower essences transport you to your happy place.

Next, Enrich body lotion, packed with avocado oil, aloe, shea butter, and vitamins A and E. The scent of bergamot lifts you from a funk, and exotic tuberose just may inspire someone else to worship your body.

Hallelujah, amen.

Available at International Orange, 2044 Fillmore Street, between California and Pine Streets, second floor (415-563-5000 or internationalorange.com).
