We’ve always thought of V-Day as a way to make the significant other feel special. But I beg to differ that, with or without dates, Valentine’s is a time to pamper ourselves.
We all need to do it once in a while. I have the products you can start to self-indulge with.
Natural deodorant
Neal’s Yard Remedies is a blessing to have these days. Sold at Rustan’s, the British brand is an advocate of natural health and beauty products free from toxic ingredients. My recent favorite is its Lemon and Coriander Deodorant spray that consists of refreshing essential oils of lemon, lime and grapefruit.
Without pore-blocking aluminum salts and preservatives—ingredients believed to increase the risk of breast cancer—it has a potent blend of lemon and coriander which kills the bacteria that causes body odor. Just make sure to let it dry after applying to keep clothes stain-free.
Beauty balm
Who knew a jar could have diverse uses?
For starters, you can swipe the Wild Rose Beauty Balm as a first cleanser (think Korean cleansing balms) and use it to improve your skin’s moisture.
Its mixture of wild rose seed oil, jojoba oil, beeswax, shea butter, and other herbal and floral oils makes the balm a perfect nourishing hydrator for nails, heels, elbows, and one’s overall complexion.
It’s a multifunctional product you’ll find yourself not wanting to leave home without.
Antiaging serum
Aging is a biological process we should learn to embrace. But for those who don’t like to rush into aging and just take it slow, here’s a miracle serum you should try today.
One of the few brands we can truly trust no matter one’s age, Estée Lauder carries the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II, which dramatically reduces signs of aging in a relatively short time.
Thanks to its lactobacillus component, one of skincare’s trending breakthrough ingredients, this product improves skin’s health. I’ve been testing it the past weeks and I think my face has a brighter glow.
Abeille Royale Repairing Honey Gel Mask has organic honey and the brand’s potent royal concentrate. It’s powerful yet soothing.
Honey is one of nature’s most effective healing substances, while its numerous B vitamins help reduce inflammation and moisturize skin as well. See how it can promote healthy-looking skin by trying it yourself.
