Hot and cold therapy meets massage at this west of Ireland spa (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hot and cold therapy is having a something of a moment. Ice baths and cold plunges are cooler than ever (no pun intended), while you can’t move for saunas popping up all over the country. There is some evidence that the use of cold water immersion can benefit a range of issues from muscle tension to stress, while heat therapy has been studied for its effects on circulation, muscle relaxation and pain.

These are the products I repurchase time and time again. I use dry shampoo for a variety of reasons â to perk up my hair between washes, to get rid of that slippery, freshly washed feeling post-shower, and just for giving it a general âjujâ.
