Get Valentine’s Day Ready
Valentine’s Day is on the way, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to set aside some time for a little self love. Whether you’re heading out on a hot date or celebrating the day solo with gal pals, we explain below how to prep for the day of love + five cute date ideas.
SKIN
The best place to start when it comes to Valentine’s Day prep, is skin. For those wanting glowy, dewy and hydrated skin, your best bet is the Yoga Facial. A stimulating 30-minute treatment designed to sculpt, lift, relax and release tension bound in the facial muscles and increase circulation to revitalise tired and lacklustre skin for a rejuvenating glow. Not only will your skin be glowing but you’ll feel relaxed and ready for date night or dinner with friends. This treatment is easy to fit into your lunch break, so it is perfect if you’re a little time poor on the day. Book the Yoga Facial here.
SKIN cleanse and exfoliate
Our second step is to exfoliate! Regularly exfoliating helps to stimulate collagen production as well as remove the barrier of dead skin cells clogging pores. Dead skin cells can also stop any serums or moisturisers from absorbing directly into the skin. Exfoliating is especially important in the lead up to a spray tan. Our go to exfoliating treatment is the Vanilla Body Bliss treatment at SELF. This gentle all over body exfoliation soothes and calms the mind and body while revitalising and hydrating the skin, buffing away dry skin, you can book here. Want to do it yourself? Our Sunescape Tan Removal Mit not only removes old tan, leaving your skin soft and supple but also removes dry skin - leaving your skin silky smooth.
