This Valentine’s week, take some time off and indulge in much-needed self-care tips. 

1. Start your Day with Proper Hydration

Staying hydrated is the most important self-care habit you should establish! Start your day with a glass of warm water with a few drops of lime juice. The warm water helps with digestion. In addition, switch to infused water for the day’s water consumption. Including infused water in your wellness plan would help with clear skin, good appetite and better digestion. 

2. Ease into the Day

If everyday movement isn’t a part of your routine, now is the time to try it. Exercise has numerous physical and psychological advantages. It may involve everything from a full-body exercise at the gym to a little dance party at home. Try doing yoga if you’re looking for something a bit more relaxing. 

3. Attend to your Skin

If your daily skincare is just a dab of sunscreen and moisturiser, treat yourself to some necessary face mask sheets, vitamin C serums and hyaluronic acid for skin hydration. This Valentine’s week, check out the Femica Valentine’s Day offers on many brands of body care products.

4. Have a Long and Relaxing Bath

Relax your muscles with a nice hot bath or shower. It’s also a great self-care strategy to use while you’re at home. It may not only make you smell great and soften your skin, but it can also help you get a sound sleep.

If you’re taking a bath, try aroma therapy and add a few drops of lavender essential oil, or if you’re taking a shower, use a lavender shower melt. You may also play your preferred podcast or playlist meanwhile. Line your shelf with a few scented candles to set the atmosphere right.  Relax as you soak yourself in hot water!

5. Enjoy a Hearty Meal

Have a date with yourself this Valentine’s day! Anyway, all the tables will be booked for two, it would be easier to find a place for one in a cute little hole-in-the-wall cafe. Try the cuisine you have always wanted. Check out the new place you kept stalling to visit.  Indulge in your favourite ice cream and chocolate that you had held back from. Now is the time!

6. Add Some Freshness to your Look

In this season of love, you can change your look with a new haircut or even some new nail polish with a fresh manicure and pedicure. Enjoy yourself in a full-body spa at a salon where they give you fresh makeovers from head to toe.  Treat yourself to some flowers. Trust us that having fresh blooms in your living room will give you fresh and cheery vibes. 

7. Declutter your Space

Cleaning up your surroundings helps to create a relaxing, tranquil, and healing atmosphere. Making sure there isn’t too much clutter around creates a quiet environment in your house where you can find the mental space to unwind or rest. In the evening, put up a string of fairy lights and some scented candles. Vibe with a rom-com with a bowl of popcorn in hands. 

8. Curl Up with a Book

Pick up that favourite book of yours and give it a read for the nth time maybe. Do not forget to use a diffuser to saturate the area with your preferred smells. They can offer great aromatherapy advantages, including calming effects and stress reduction. A calm evening spent on the sofa with a soft blanket, a cup of tea, and a nice book is the epitome of self-care.
