Valentine’s day is here and I really want to avoid seeing couples on dates because I’m not ready to feel lonely. This year I’m ready to feel empowered about being single because I’m not going to lower my dating standards just because it’s V-Day.
While V-day is traditionally meant to celebrate two people in love, my single-lady Valentine’s plans are all about self-love and self-pampering. Yes, I have a date with myself and I’m indulging in a relaxing beauty routine.
And if you’re single like me, you should probably consider ’em too.
Beginning With Massages
I love a good head massage so it had to be on the list for tonight. I’m making a hair oil concoction with my favourite carrier oil and essential oils for a spa-like sesh at home.
Three tablespoons of jojoba oil mixed with three drops each of lavender, rosemary, and jasmine oil make for a champi sesh that boosts my mood. After applying the oils, I’m gonna pick my fav Protouch LED Hair Growth Therapy Comb to relax and unwind.
Bring The Dessert First
Chocolates are mandatory for the entire Valentine’s week and I especially like them for their skincare benefits. While I let the hair oil sit for an hour, I’m treating my skin to a chocolatey face pack.
The Beauty Co. Chocolate Coffee Face Mask has a delicious scent and tons of skincare benefits that pampers my skin and senses.
A Detoxifying Shower
After spending time with the hair oil and chocolate face mask on, it’s time to wash it all off with a relaxing (read: detoxifying) shower. And I’m all about making my V-day shower a special one.
I’m using scrubs to exfoliate my skin and hair. Arata’s Grow+ Turmeric Growth Scalp Scrub is my go-to hair scrub ‘coz it helps remove oil and dandruff flakes simultaneously.
Masked With Love
If you thought a chocolate mask was going to be enough for me, you’re wrong. My single self needs some extra TLC on V-Day and that’s exactly what I’m going to get.
After toning and patting in a serum post-shower, I’m putting on a soothing sheet mask – my skin will thank me for its calming benefits. The POPxo Sundowner Soothing Chamomile Sheet Mask checks all the right boxes when it comes to treating my acne-prone skin.
Butter Me Up
The skin on my body is in for a buttery treat. I’m going to give my skin a warm hug of moisture with a body cream because I’m a hugger too and I really need one today!
The Skinvest Bomb Bum Cream is just the right fit for tonight. It also comes with a metal ball massager head to help me give myself an effortless full-body massage.
With this beauty regime by my side, I’m happily single and thriving this Valentine’s day.
