Taking care of one’s skin and by extension, themselves is a love language. Celebrate this Valentine’s Day with some at-home skincare and pampering with your partner. Read on to learn what you’ll need to transform your space into a zen and romantic skin & self-care oasis.
At-Home Spa Date
Transform your bathroom into a sanctuary to enjoy with your significant other this Valentine’s day. Here’s how to achieve that:
Set the Scene: Ambience is everything. Light non-toxic candles, dim the lights, and turn your devices on do not disturb. It’s time to wind down.
Create a Sensorial Experience: Get into a headspace for relaxation and block outside sounds with a white noise machine or water-resistant speaker. Play sounds of nature– running water and birdsong can be especially soothing. Elicit calming energy by applying essential oils or using an aromatherapy diffuser. Did you know that scent travels straight to the sector of the brain that controls emotion? Using fragrances like lavender and eucalyptus can help you unwind.
Elevate Your Skincare Prep: To prepare for your at-home skincare experience, display toiletries on your vanity as a showpiece. Place hand and bath towels out in a rolled arrangement, and wear robes to achieve the spa aesthetic. Go all out for Valentine’s Day. You deserve it.
Couple’s Skincare Routine
With your spa-like bathroom ready, it’s time to indulge in an all-encompassing skincare regimen together– consider applying the products on each other’s skin to make things fun!
Cleanse: Always start with a clean canvas. Use a gentle, non-stripping facial cleanser to remove any dirt, debris, skin cell buildup, and leftover makeup. Then, gently pat the skin dry with a clean washcloth.
Tone: Next, prime your skin for treatments by applying an alcohol-free, water-based toner with your fingers or a reusable cotton pad.
Mask: Once toned, treat your skin to a facial mask treatment. Masks are occlusive– they cover the skin to deliver ingredients that help improve the appearance and quality of the skin. Plus, they bring the spa feeling to the forefront.
Treat: Next, apply a treatment serum with actives that target your unique skin concerns– whether acne, aging, or dryness. Note that certain actives are suitable for different times of the day. For example, Vitamin C serums should be applied in the morning and retinol in the evening.
Hydrate: Lastly, protect your skin barrier and maintain hydration levels by applying a nourishing moisturizer. This step will seal in the benefits of your skincare routine for a radiant, healthy complexion.
