Top 5 Valentine’s Day Beauty Tips

 

Whether you are single or in a relationship, Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to take some time out to pamper yourself from head to toe.  Treat yourself this February 14 with our Top 5 Beauty Tips for Valentine’s Day.

Get Your Smoothest Skin Ever

Valentine’s Day is for snuggling, kissing, and skin to skin contact.  You don’t want your Valentine to touch you and feel rough skin or prickly legs.  Nothing says sexy like smooth silky touchable skin.  But how do you get it? With the best moisturising creams, naturally!

Keep Lips Kissable

Avoid brightly coloured lipstick and sticky lip glosses and instead opt for a tinted lip balm to create soft, natural-looking lips that won’t leave a trail on lipstick behind after kissing! Look for formulas that contain naturally moisturising ingredients such as shea butter or papaya to keep your lips smooth and soft all day long. If you are heading out for a daytime Valentine’s date, then make sure to wear a lip product that contains an SPF to avoid burning your lips.

That lover’s Glow

Put your best face forward with a super hydrating mask before your date. Hydrated skin is the perfect base for makeup too. And don’t forget to remove the peach fuzz off your face for a smooth, flawless glow.

Apply Fragrance Like A Pro

Since smell is the strongest tie to memory, a wonderful smelling fragrance is a must-have on Valentine’s Day! Spray perfume on your pulse points: your wrists, inner elbows, temples, neck hollow, behind the ears, and behind the knees. Keep yourself smelling sweet all day long by layering your fragrance with a matching body or hand lotion. Just remember to be careful not to spray too much fragrance as you become less sensitive to your scent over time and it will be overpowering to others.

Destress With A Massage

Not only is a massage the perfect way to unwind, but the massage oils used can also help keep your skin soft and moisturised. Make a date out of it (with your partner, a friend or even your Mum) and indulge in a professional massage that will leave you feeling both relaxed and revived.
