Which so-called 'self-care' splurge is actually worth every penny to you?
Britain's self-care industry is booming, but half of it feels like posh nonsense wrapped in eucalyptus. Rank these indulgences by what genuinely earns its place in your wallet.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
A Proper Sports Massage
Someone digging their elbow into your shoulder blade until you see God. Brutal, expensive, and weirdly worth it after a week hunched over a laptop.
B
Weekend Spa Day at a Country Hotel
A hundred quid to sit in a bubbling pool with strangers and pretend you're in a Jane Austen novel. Bliss or bougie waste of money?
C
Therapy Sessions (Private, Not NHS Waitlist)
Skipping the two-year NHS queue by paying a private therapist. Life-changing for some, financially ruinous for others.
D
A Ridiculously Fancy Skincare Routine
Serums, retinols, and that Β£60 moisturiser from Space NK. You either look radiant or just poorer with the same skin.
E
A Personal Trainer Who Actually Shows Up
Paying someone Β£50 a session so you can't bottle it at 6am. Expensive accountability, but the results speak louder than your bank balance.
