Valentine’s Day is about the many forms of love — including self-love. Whether you’re partnered, single, or something in between, Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to embrace your inner beauty and treat yourself. In addition to the holiday, it’s the final stretch of winter: meaning your skin is likely feeling the frost. With the right combination of professional treatments and at-home care, you can create a glow that’ll have you feeling confident till the Spring Equinox.
No matter what Valentine’s Day has in store, here are some ways to make it a great one.
Invest in Professional Treatments
Exfoliate away your winter layers and revive your skin anew with dermaplaning followed by a HydraFacial for the ultimate one-two punch that’ll have you looking dewy and flush in the right way.
Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz using a sterile blade, leaving your skin smooth and bright. This process also enhances the absorption of skincare products, delivering maximum benefits.
Combined with HydraFacial — a 30-minute, 3-step super facial with a cult following — the results are transformative. The HydraFacial can be tailored depending on your needs but is ideal for addressing dullness, uneven texture, and dehydration. Post-facial your skin will feel and look soft as butter.
TIP: If you’re preparing for a romantic date night, schedule your treatment a few days beforehand to let the post-treatment redness subside
Upgrade your OTC products to Medical-Grade
Medical-grade skincare is scientifically proven to work—trade in the cute packaging for potent ingredients that make a difference. The sticker shock will wear off when you notice real change… and you deserve a treat that’s not chocolate-covered this year.
Invest in these medical-grade products to administer yourself at home between in-office treatments.
Products containing AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) gently dissolve dead skin cells, revealing a brighter complexion.
Products like Tretinoin, a prescription-strength Vitamin A cream, treat acne, fade dark spots, and smooth fine lines over time.
For sun spots and age spots, look no further than Hydroquinone to target uneven pigmentation and brighten your skin.
It’s the gift that keeps giving.
TIP: Build up your collection slowly by replacing one product at a time.
Boost Hydration for Maximum Radiance
Hydrated skin is healthy skin, and achieving that sought-after glow requires replenishing moisture, especially during the winter.
Treat yourself to skincare that doubles as self-care.
Indulge in a facial with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin that will plump up your skin and create a dewy finish.
Incorporate hydrating products like EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 into your routine and
Invest in hydrating lip balm like the EltaMD UV Lip Balm SPF 36.
TIP: Invest in the SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair to smooth and refine your lips for a kissable finish just in time for the holiday focused on the perfect pout.
