Holiday Hangover Cures Also Work For JetLag
By Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
You’ve
had your fun and now you’re paying the price. Endless parties, copious amounts
of alcohol, boxes of chocolate and late nights are the stuff of Christmas
legend. By way of damage control and to make sure your hangover doesn’t hang
round too long, try one of LUSH’s detoxifying products to leave you feeling
happy and healthy for the new year:
So why, you wonder, does a travel writer
care about hangovers?
I have figured out that the same things
that cure hangovers help with jetlag.
And don’t you feel a little better
buying something for jetlag than for your hangover?
These products make great gifts for your
travelling and drinking friends since they are multi-functional.
Party On Temple
Balm $7.95
A temple balm to get you headlong
through the party season and out the other side still raring to go! Made with
coffee infusion, peppermint oil, menthol oil, rosemary oil, lime oil and fresh
lemongrass, you’ll feel the energy from the moment you rub it on.
Party on Shower
Jelly $5.95 for 100g
Party
on is just what you need to keep partying all weekend long or help cure a
hellish hangover as it detoxifies, stimulates, and energizes a sluggish system.
While in the shower hold this jelly over your kidneys to increase the flushing
out of toxins.
Hot Java Bath
Bomb $9.95
It’s filled with warming ginger,
purifying juniper berry, uplifting ylang ylang and detoxifying coriander
essential oils to leave you stimulated yet stress free. The
warming effect on the body helps ease muscular aches and pains and will help
fight colds and ‘flu’. It’s also a good antidote for nausea, hangovers and
travel sickness.
Afterlife Moisturizer $39.95
Created to put something back into the
skin, this rich moisturizer contains whole organic mangoes and a special blend
of essential oils that were chosen for their renowned cell-regenerating
properties to help repair the skin.
Brazened
Honey Mask $9.95
A deeply detoxifying face mask for when
you feel ashamed about what you’ve done to your skin. This mask was inspired by
seven of the herbs used in Aryuvedic medicine. An infusion of sage, rosemary and
juniperberry and masses of lime juice are deeply detoxifying (not available
online).
