Once the wrapping paper and hangover has cleared, the chocolate’s been demolished, there’s usually one thing left on everyone’s wish list: a bit of me time.
Enter the perfect gift that you don’t have to queue for, wait to be delivered or pretend you haven’t already bought for yourself. And after festive chaos, it might just be the ultimate pamper treat.
What if we told you that a much-loved high street brand offers incredible spa treatments across 10 locations in the UK, and that they’re excellently priced? Well, luckily for you, it’s true. Lush is mostly known for their huge array of dissolving bath bombs, innovative fragrances and their playful shower jellies, but they’re also quickly becoming known for their immersive spa treatments.

Think restorative massages, brightening facials, and indulgent sound baths, all specifically designed to support the wellbeing of your body and mind, and let’s face it, we all need some of that after Christmas.
Their bestselling massage? Synaesthesia. This 80-minute treatment is all about linking sounds and scents to your mood. Before starting, you are asked to choose a word from a board of positive affirmations, such as empowerment, simplicity, and resilience.
Then you choose from a range of scents with other word,s including free, focus, hug, and balance. These will determine which massage bar you get and the scent used within the treatment. Then it’s time to escape reality, lie back and let your masseuse do the work.
These are just some of the products that you can look forward to being slathered all over. (Picture: Metro/Lush)
One happy customer shared: ‘Had the most wonderful experience having the Synaesthesia treatment. The specialist was so lovely and really attentive. The experience was surreal and exactly what I needed. 100% worth it.’ The treatment costs £160 and can be booked through the Lush App.

Another excellent massage is the Highlands, costing £150. This isn’t just any 60-minute hot stone massage; you get a unique stone consultation that is inspired by tarot readings, which will help tailor your treatment. It comes with a bespoke folk soundtrack created by highland musicians, with Scottish Gaelic lyrics.

Other loved treatments include the Fresh Facial, £55, a 25-minute targeted experience to exfoliate and hydrate the skin. You can even book a 30-minute bath costing £44, with the Lush Spa exclusive Sticky Dates bath bomb and body scrub for an ultimate quick relaxation fix.
Whichever treatment you choose, you’re promised a fully immersive experience as dry ice covers the floor, transporting you to a different place, intense aromas help you relax, and music feeds your hearing with tranquil sounds to control the senses and help you become fully present in the moment.
So, if you’re in need of that much-needed and deserved break and recuperation from all of the festive fun, then head to the Lush app and treat yourself (or a loved one) to a magical experience.
