Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating the amazing women in your life, and obviously that includes yourself! Whether you're planning a cozy night in with your besties or indulging in some well-deserved solo self-care, having the right skincare and wellness products will make the occasion extra special. This year, I’m sharing with you my ultimate favorite must-have skincare products for my girl’s self-care night.
Daily Habits Bliss Face Oil & Green Jade Gua Sha
Obviously you need to de-stress first! Start your skincare routine with a very relaxing Gua Sha facial massage to help relax your face muscles, allowing your skin to naturally lift. I love using Bliss Face Oil as a base to start any facial massage, it not only helps the Gua Sha stone glide better but it also gently cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the skin. Gently glide the gua sha along your jawline, cheekbones, and forehead. Go upward and towards the hairline and use light-medium pressure.
Cleanse + Exfoliate with Clean Towels from Clean Skin Club
I’m obsessed with these Clean Towels. There is no better way to do oil cleansing than with these. After you have done your Gua Sha Massage, grab a Clean Towel add a little bit of water and start gliding it all over your face, to gently remove the Bliss Face Oil. Clean Towels are designed to be gentle on the skin, they will help softly remove any residue from the skin, without being harsh. Ditch your old washcloths and switch to these dermatologist-approved towels, you won’t regret it.
Saie No-Makeup Makeup, for the Perfect Glow
After pampering your skin, it's time to enhance your natural glow with some clean beauty! I’ve been loving Saie’s makeup line, especially their Glowy Super Gel for a radiant, dewy complexion. Their Slip Tint Tinted Moisturizer is another must-have, wuith lightweight coverage while hydrating and protecting your skin. Finish your look with Dew Blush, a creamy, blush that gives the perfect flushed glow. By now, both you and your girls are ready for the next step!
Memories are important! Get your Polaroid out
I love taking pictures of all the important events or days in my life. There is something special about creating memories with your loved ones, and getting reminded of the good old days every time you see an old picture. I love using my Polaroid Instant Camera to get some fun, cute pictures of all our girl’s night out. I think having fun, laughing and allowing yourself to relax and de-stress with the girls is one of the most important self-care activities one can practice.
A Good Mocktail + Healthy Drinks!
It’s not a Galentine’s Day celebration without some nice drinks. My girls and I are on an alcohol-detox month, so we are all about finding alternatives. We are currently obsessed with Hiyo’s non-alcoholic seltzers, they have multiple flavors and they make the perfect mocktail. Feel free to add lemon or berries to it to make it even more delicious.
Sleep Without Worries
As an esthetician and skincare specialist, I’m very careful about sharing pillows with anyone! There is a lot of skin-compromising bacteria on most surfaces/fabrics you place your head/face at. Because of this, I make sure to always have hypoallergenic, breathable pillowcases at home for all my guests. I love using the Clean Sleep Silver Ion Pillowcases from Clean Skin Club, they are so soft, and they come in so handy because they are packed on a small pouch, which makes it easy to store and people love receiving them as a gift! It makes the perfect Galentine’s gift. All of these are some of my favorite ways to celebrate self-care during my Galentine’s day activities. I hope these come in handy for your upcoming celebrations. Cheers to glowing skin and unforgettable self-care moments with your besties.
