Valentine’s Day is a time of the year that people either dread or love. Whether you are off to dinner with your partner or having a girl’s night, we have all the things you need to do to be looking and feeling fabulous for February 14th.
Pre-Valentine’s Day:
Perricone MD Cocoa Moisture Mask (£52)
For plump baby soft skin this mask is the perfect way to prep before Valentine’s Day. The luxurious cream helps to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, whilst toning and lifting skin to reveal defined, refined facial contours.
Windle & Moodie Nourish Treatment Shampoo (£19) and Conditioner (£21)
This shampoo and conditioner combo nourishes dry and colour treated hair. Rooibos tea and Argan Oil detoxifies, adds shine and promotes hair growth with its antioxidant properties. So, you can be confident that your hair will look amazing ready for Valentine’s Day.
Thalgo 3 Algae Facial at Beauty and Melody (£90)
Suitable for all skin types, this facial uses a mask of pure natural seaweed, known for its beauty-enhancing properties, to remineralise and revitalise the skin. You will walk out of this facial with a soft, radiant complexion and ready for whatever Valentine’s Day holds.
FRÉNÉSIES Body Hair Reduction Cream (£220)
The answer to painless hair removal is here (finally!). Frénésies is a cream that stops unwanted hair growth, simply go for a wax and then apply this cream to reduce hair growth. It takes about 6 rounds to achieve permanent results so make sure you are prepping well in advance for any big occasions.
