Hangover Day Pamper Hamper

October 28, 2009 by Nicholas Robinson · Comments

Perk up It is one of the few downfalls of an amazing night out, especially if you drank a little more than you originally intended.

The Hangover cometh and you’re a lazy, ridiculous mess; unrecognisable by all, including yourself. The only thing that you want to do is hide in your bed and feel incredibly sorry for yourself, between thoughts of: “I’m never doing it again!” and flash backs of the cringingly awful things you did or said during the course of the evening, so terrible, you have to hide under the duvet.

You could lay in your bed at the mercy of the night before or you could immerse yourself in a day of pampering, detoxing and general chilling.

Step One: Showered with coffee before, no? ‘Perk up’ by Philosophy is a three in one trio, each of the three bottles is a shampoo,shower gel and bubble bath – it’s like giving your hair and body a cup of coffee: £32.00 from QVC.

After the shower, moisturise with ‘Vanilla Dee-Lite’ it will leave your skin smelling and feeling fabulous! £10.50 from Lush

Step Two: It’s essential to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise your skin daily: if you don’t already have a skincare regime, then Clinique’s 3 Step skincare routine is an excellent way to start. Check-out your nearest counter for advice.

Step Three: Now that you’ve showered and refreshed your skin, use Soap and Glory’s ‘You Wont Believe Your Eyes,’ which will revitalise and freshen your eyes and reduce puffiness:£9.00 from Boots.

Step Four: Go totally spa-chic with Boots’ Essentials ‘Cucumber 3-Minute Clay Mask’ is full of cucumber and, well, clay – sure to give your skin an extra boost and make you feel uber relaxed and fresh: only £1.99 – from Boots.

Step Five: This bit doesn’t involve any products which you apply from a bottle or a tube… You need to get yourself a rediculously over-sized Hoodie - Superdry is a good place to go, they sell a range which starts from £44.99 and are fleece lined, delightful for a day on the sofa.

Next, you need some friends; I wouldn’t suggest having real people over, you might not be ready to socialise, but a session of Friends the programme will do your soul some good: Amazon.co.uk (from £54.99), and that’s for the whole set.

So, if you’re not feeling any better by now, I don’t know what to suggest, perhaps eat a bacon sandwich. If you’re nearly cured, then I’ve done my job.

They worked for me, so they might work for you too.
