As Valentine's Day vastly approaches, it is important to realise that a day about love doesn't have to be about the materialistic things. Equally, Valentine's should be as much about the man as the woman. Here are three things you can do as a couple this February the 14th. By Monica Charlsey
1. A couple’s massage
A massage allows you both to unwind and communicate so why not take yourself to a spa for the day or have couple’s massages at home?
A massage can help to relax the muscles, improve circulation and blood flow, improve the circulation of oxygen around the body, soothe pain, and leave you feeling revitalised and energetic. The increase in blood circulation from massage therapy gives the skin additional nutrients that improves the skin's condition, texture and tone.
2. A couple’s workout
A workout not only releases stress but endorphins too, so it can be a good idea to start the day off right by taking a trip together to the gym, going for a jog, or attending a yoga class.
If you would like to stay home and have some quality time indoors, YouTube is a great source for workouts such as XHIT Daily, The Body Coach TV and SELF.
By increasing blood flow, exercise helps nourish skin cells and keep them vital. "Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to working cells throughout the body, including the skin," according to dermatologist Ellen Marmur.
3. Homemade face masks
Although buying a shop brought face-mask is still a great way to look after your skin and relax, creating a home made face mask allows you both to make a new memory, no matter how small it seems. Being creative with your partner whilst learning how to make something new comes with its rewards. There are plenty of homemade masks you can make such as an avocado face mask that is known to be a moisturiser and once applied to the face, can hydrate dry skin. When was the last time you both did something creative together?
You can make an avocado face mask with the above three ingredients.
There you have three Valentine's Day activities to help the skin - with the option to spend as little money as you want but also allowing you to create new memories and take care of the person you love this Valentine's Day.
