7 self-care rituals to show yourself some love this Valentine’s Day
Read Now
It's February; and the pressure to plan something special for your SO is real. Maybe you’re in love, maybe you’re manifesting it but, either way, spending the night eating mid-tier pasta at a crowded restaurant may not be the Valentine's Day plan you or your partner would look forward to.
So here’s a thought: skip the prix-fixe dinner, stay in and make self-care the moment. Think, scalp massage, scented candles, a romcom, some sheet masks—and a lot more.

When COSRX launched its now-iconic snail mucin essence, the internet had a collective moment—and for good reason. First, there’s the headline ingredient: 98% snail secretion filtrate (yes, really). Then, there’s the slime-like texture that makes applying it strangely satisfying. But what really caught people off guard wasn’t the snail factor—it was how nourishing it turned out to be. Packed with skin-forward hyaluronic acid, it sinks in fast, leaving skin feeling plump, bouncy and deeply hydrated. Bonus: it’s lightweight enough for summer days and delivers that dewy, glass-skin glow without feeling sticky.
This one’s a no-brainer. This viral Cosrx essence is a staple in so many routines for a reason—it hydrates, repairs and gives your skin a soft, dewy feel. The lightweight formulation is also known to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and soothe irritation. Besides, it helps enhance skin elasticity, making it a go-to for anyone dealing with dry, damaged or acne-scarred skin. Whether you're looking to smooth out rough patches or boost overall skin health, this is a product you'll want to keep on hand in multiples.
Whether you are looking for moisture retention, plumping or nourishment, this widely loved essence can do it all—and it doesn’t choose to stop there, either. By dialling up exfoliation and cell turnover, the snail mucin in this multipurpose essence helps get the upper hand on hyperpigmentation, as well.
Pair your toner with this soothing ampoule that is packed with one of the world’s finest centella. This moisture-locking ingredient works on sensitive or reactive skin, making for a must-have in your skincare routine if you’re facing acne. Every drop delivers a hydration boost, ensuring that your skin stays cool and calm all summer long.
With busy schedules and endless to-do lists, consider this your sign to unwind—because nothing beats a relaxing champi sesh when it comes to that. But since your partner is involved, take the activity up a notch and turn it into a friendly competition—who gives the best head massage? Grab your favourite hair oil to boost hair growth and quality time. A solid V-day move.
Fluffy pancakes and strawberries with a side of OJ. And why stop there? Make the morning even cuter by trying out a new AM routine together after you’ve savoured the spread—because that post-breakfast glow? It deserves to last all day. Go for the regular CTM and add a serum or an ampoule to refresh and revive. Once that's done, the day is yours to experiment with skincare and bodycare rituals.
If your partner won’t stop spamming your DMs with movie recs, it’s time to hit play—face masks included. As you decode the plot, throw on a hydrating sheet mask (bonus points if you pick one they’ll love). And for bright eyes in the morning after your night-long binge? Eye patches, applied on each other, obviously. Because, like they say, couples who mask together, stay together.
Staying in doesn’t always have to be an event—sometimes, it’s about slowing down with your SO and sneaking in a little spa time (brownie points if you convert them into a skincare enthusiast). Start with a quick hand massage using a fragrant hand cream—maybe even light a scented candle for the ambiance. Then, break out the gua sha and jade rollers for a sculpting session. Keep it interesting with a game of truth or dare while you de-puff. And to wrap it up? Let your feet be off-duty with a foot mask that relaxes and soothes.
