Premiere league pampering products for World Cup Widows

(18/06/2010)

Not everyone is watching the 2010 World Cup. He may be dreaming of going to South Africa to watch the beloved game, but you’re probably not so keen. Given the amount of time you’re likely to get to see him over the Summer, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s all over! But before you kick him into touch, why not treat this as guilt-free “me” time. Imagine yourself on the beaches of South Africa with Lush’s selection of maritime premiere league pampering products... this way you’ll both be able to lay back and think of England!

Kick off your 90 minutes of pampering with a Lush bath ballistic. Made using only the finest ingredients at the peak of their potency, drop one of these balls into your ready-run bath for an aromatherapy treat that will cleanse your skin and kick-start your senses. Lush’s Big Blue ballistic £2.95 takes you fizzically closer to the sea, with seaweed absolute, mineral rich sea salt and actual strands of fresh arame seaweed mixed through it. Once the seaweed is in the water, it releases all its nutrients to soften, nourish and cleanse the skin. The water will turn the deep blue colour of the ocean and the lemon and lavender oils will relax your thoughts.

Continue the seaside theme by scrubbing any cellulite prone areas with Sandstone soap £2.75 for 100g. This sunny citrus soap is topped off with sand to create a hardcore exfoliator to smooth skin and leave it tingling. Inspired by Brazilian beauties who rub sand on their bodies mixed with suntan oil. This will really get the circulation going without the need to run around a football pitch!

Finally, apply a fresh facemask to cleansed skin for 5–10 minutes. Made from the Lush glossary of natural ingredients – fresh organic produce, organic cold pressed oils, butters, herbs, clays, flowers and the finest essential oils, each mask is carefully balanced to give instant, visible effects and long term benefits. BB Seaweed (£4.95 for 75g) is based on the proven benefits of seaweed, combined with a blend of soothing honey and aloe vera. Deep cleansing clays and toning, balancing essential oils including rose, patchouli and lemon all leave the skin super soft.

And if you have any ‘extra time’ head down to the Lush Spa and allow one of their therapists to do all the pampering for you. Chose from the signature Synaesthesia massage (£125) – a one and a half hour all over mood-changing massage, which works with all your senses. Or the Validation Facial (£75), designed to not only leave your skin looking fantastic, but also to nourish and validate your soul, to instil an inner confidence that will leave you feeling altogether better about yourself.
