There are a few historical stories around the origins of Valentines Day, but it goes without saying that we want to look radiant and glowing for that special day and our special someone.

With skincare options for everyone, Eminence has the perfect routine to get you Valentines ready in time for the big day.

Healthy products will give you a healthy complexion, and a healthy complexion results in radiant skin, so lets look at our simple guide to radiant skin:

CLEANSE

The simplest way to radiant skin is to cleanser twice a day, morning and night. Cleansing in the morning prepares your skin with healing botanicals and hydration, helping to protect your skin all day from environmental stressors. A night time cleanse removes all the impurities you have been exposed to throughout the day, plus any make-up, SPF or other products you have applied for that day.

For HIM - Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser, is a deep detoxifying cleanse with fresh peppermint, charcoal and malachite gemstone. It will invigorate the skin leaving your skin fresh, cleansed and re-energised.

For HER - Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser will gently remove superficial dullness and dead skin. Red clover flower extract will minimise pores whilst mangosteen infuses skin with nutrients and Vitamin B for that radiant glow.

For ANYONE - Stone Crop Gel Wash or Stone Crop Cleansing Oil. Fresh, earthy stone crop brightens, hydrates, repairs and stimulates the skin and is ideal for all skin types. The gel wash will give a deep cleanse and is often preferred by normal to oilier skins, whereas the cleansing oil with jojoba oil and sunflower oils gives intense hydration and is liked by normal to drier skin types.

EXFOLIATE

A build up of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin can give you a duller, drier even more mature look, as the dead skin cells cover up the newer fresher more youthful skin cells. This can result in dullness, dryness and enhanced lines and wrinkles.

Exfoliation will remove this dull, dry layer to reveal a radiant, glowing more youthful complexion.

For HIM - Stone Crop Oxygenating Fizzofoliant - with adzuki beans, chickpea powder and detoxifying microgreens, this powder to foam physical exfoliant will easily remove surface dullness and infuse the skin with healing oxygen and nutrients.

For HER - Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel gives red carpet ready skin. Fruit enzymes gently remove dead, dull skin, whilst Vitamin C infuses the skin for a brighter more even skin tone and firmer looking complexion.

For ANYONE - Turmeric Energising Treatment is a warming 3-in-1 treatment for glowing, brighter, simply fabulous looking skin. Zeolite gently heats the skin stimulating the circulation, turmeric infuses skin with healing botanicals and citrine gemstone leaves skin renewed and re-energised.

MASQUE

Masques are designed to be used 2-3 times per week. They are highly concentrated products that can make an instant improvement to your skins look and texture. Apply your favourite Eminence masque 2-3 days before Valentines to give you an enviable complexion.

For HIM - Snow Mushroom & Reishi Masque will deeply cleanse away impurities, intensely hydrate the skin for a smoother complexion and contour the face for a perfect look.

For HER - Chocolate Mousse Hydration Masque... of course! Infused with antioxidants and nourishing jojoba oil this masques smells just like chocolate for a chocolate fix with zero calories!!! Intensely hydrating and rejuvenating this is more than just a decadent treat.

For ANYONE - Strawberry Rhubarb Masque, delicious strawberries and rhubarb are the perfect option for any skin type for Valentines. With botanical hyaluronic acid and potent antioxidants this vitamin infused masque will leave your skin brighter, smoother and perfect for that special date.

TREAT AND MOISTURISE

Moisturising the skin everyday is vital to heal and protect your skin and helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier function. Treating your skin to a more intense serum, concentrate or facial oil adds additional benefits and enhances your daily routine.
