With Valentine’s Day upon us, love is in the air. Yet a romantic evening with your significant other or a “Galentine’s” night out with your friends aren’t the only options—and there’s no rule that says amor can’t be given to yourself. Even if you already have plans for February 14th, hang on to this list of self-care essentials that can have you feeling perfectly pampered this Valentine's Day, and 365 days a year.
Shiffa Rose Bliss Balm
A decadent rose-infused treat that lasts way longer than a bouquet of flowers, this hydrating, and rejuvenating body balm also works to calm the mind with its divine, otherworldly scent.
