Valentineโs Day… for some of us it means chocolates, roses and a romantic night out at a fancy restaurant. For others, it means a glass of wine, pyjamas, pizza and a Sex and the City marathon. But no matter where you find yourself on February 14, you can still feel sexy, confident and love the skin youโre in! Here are five hacks everyone can do to make this Valentineโs Day their best one yet.
Get active
Itโs no secret that exercise is good for us. It keeps us fit, reduces stress and releases mood-enhancing endorphins. But did you know that exercise is also great for the skin? It works by increasing blood flow, which nourishes your skin cells and simultaneously removes waste products such as free radicals. Think of it as a face scrub from the inside! So before your big date, grab your sneakers and head out for a skin-cleansing, mood-boosting run (just donโt forget to wear your SPF 50+, we recommend Balense UV Defiance.)
Treat yourself (or someone else!)
Want to feel fresh, youthful and radiant come Valentineโs Day? Then treat yourself to one of the most popular advanced skin treatments available: a microdermabrasion. A microdermabrasion exfoliates the outer skin surface, which stimulates and reveals the younger, fresher skin underneath. This treatment will leave your skin glowing and give you a boost of body confidence come V-day.
Moisturise
This might sound obvious, but youโd be surprised at how many people forget to moisturise! Make sure you moisturise on Valentineโs day to keep your skin soft to the touchโฆ You know, just in case! Using a product with active ingredients, such as the Balense Dry Skin Moisturiser, will help enhance and prolong hydration to the skin. If you truly want to love the skin youโre in, make sure youโre moisturising every day, twice a day โ not just on special occasions.
Plan ahead
If you plan on stepping into a skimpy number on the day of love, then you might want to plan ahead with some laser hair removal.ย Laser hair removal is available at all Australian Skin Clinicsโ and is a safe, fast and effective way to reduce the appearance of excess or unwanted hair. Treatments can be tailored to all areas of the face and body, including the underarms, legs, face, bikini, chest, stomach and back.
Share the love
We have so much more control over what we give than what we receive. So empower yourself this Valentineโs Day and share the love with your partner, friend or family member. You could send a simple card of appreciation, a bunch of flowers or even better (in our opinion!) an Australian Skin Clinics gift card. You can purchase one at our online store or by visiting your local clinic.
Remember, whether youโre spending it with someone special or rockinโ solo, make sure you love the skin youโre in this Valentineโs Day!
