To give you some ideas on how to have an epic self-care moment with beauty products, keep reading for our top picks.
Kiehl’s Avocado Nourishing Hydration Mask
This is like a grown-up version of the DIY face masks we used to concoct during sleepovers when we were kids.

It’s perfect as a pre-makeup treatment or to unwind with at the end of the day.
Take your at-home mani game to the next level with Gel Couture. The polishes have the longevity (the formulas last up to 14 days without chipping), pigmentation and shine of a gel manicure, but can be applied in the comfort of your own home without UV lamps. For Valentine’s Day, we’ll be reaching for Rock the Runway, a striking, scarlet red.
