We are all about saving trees, but if you’d like to spread the good-n-green word by posting an Ideal Bite tip in a public place, we encourage you do so on recycled paper. Thanks and Happy Biting!

If 10,000 SF Biters opt for a bottle of organic face lotion instead of a conventional one, we'll avert the weight of three estheticians in chems.

At The Grooming Spa, a men's-only spa in Atlanta, guys are offered a shot of Jack Daniels before every back wax.

Kicked to the Herb

The Bite:

Wanna lose the sun spots without feeling like you got sand shoved in your face? Skip the scary machines, and try Spa Radiance's new Herbal Dermabrasion Facial, which uses a blend of lavender, rosemary, and thyme to exfoliate deeply without wasting electricity on machines, while keeping the harsh chems used in peels (trichloroacetic - what now?) out of waterways and off your face. A soothing mask - applied with very gentle hands - and vitamin-enriched enzyme-serum slather after makes for zero post-facial redness, just a clarified natural glow. All you have to do is lie down in a feather bed (seriously), while it kicks your crow's...um, foot to the curb.

Wanna Try?

Spa Radiance, 3011 Fillmore St. b/t Union and Filbert Sts. (415-346-6281). Herbal Dermabrasion Facial, $175.
