Jet-Lag to Jet-Set: Our 24-Hour Luxe Recovery Ritual (That Actually Works)
Long-haul flights can age you five years and drain your soul—unless you know the ritual. Here’s our go-to 24-hour recovery process post-touchdown:
Silence & Stillness No calls, no sightseeing. Just rest. (Luxury is being unavailable.)
Epsom salt bath + peppermint oil Detox the travel tension.
Hydration cocktail Coconut water, chlorophyll drops, and collagen powder. Your cells will sing.
Aromatherapy + blackout mask nap Deep rest, queen.
Light movement A short walk or 20-minute yoga flow.
Ginger tea + no screens Calm the nervous system.
Hour 0–2 | Land + Detox
Down 16 oz of water with electrolyte drops before customs.
Swipe face with vitamin-C mist. Smell like vacation, not cabin air.
Car service > taxi. Recline, breathe, preview hotel playlist.
Hour 3–6 | Soak + Stretch
Ask concierge to prep the tub with Epsom salts and eucalyptus oil.
Ten minutes of legs-up-the-wall. Lymphatic magic.
Snack: papaya, pistachios, dark chocolate. Your gut will thank you.
Hour 7–12 | Sun + Sweat
Hit natural light. Walk, not nap. The goal is melatonin reset.
Quick HIIT session or sauna cycle raises core temp and flushes cortisol.
Hydrate again. Add trace minerals if you flew more than five time zones.
Hour 13–18 | Tech off + Treat
Blue-light blockers on. Phone in airplane mode.
Order miso soup and sashimi. Protein + probiotics, zero bloat.
20-minute guided meditation. Premade download. EarPods in, world out.
Hour 19–24 | Sleep like royalty
Set room to 67 °F (19 °C).
Slip on silk eye mask and lavender pulse-point oil.
Eight hours later, wake up feeling suspiciously fabulous.
Congratulations you just hacked jet lag.
