Remember how during childhood we were told chocolate is nothing but junk meant to rot your teeth? But adulting proved it wrong. Science says chocolate, especially the dark variant, is known to reduce stress. This is because cocoa is enriched with antioxidants called flavonoids, which possess numerous health benefits. Not only that, food items that are highly palatable (i.e. really tasty) stimulate your senses, in turn releasing chemicals such as endorphins that help you relax and feel good about yourself.

Mud masks

Luxury means mud masks. Period. They are irreplaceable when it comes to absorbing all the dirt and gunk. While you might feel that they are too drying for your skin, they actually aren’t. There are variants which leave your skin well-moisturised. Regular usage leads to firm skin and prevention of blemishes. They contain high amounts of sodium, calcium and magnesium, which help exfoliate dead skin cells as you wash your mask with cold water.

Jade roller

Jade rollers have been around for a decade now and are famously known to help in lymphatic drainage, moving toxins out of your body. And using a jade roller after applying a rich moisturiser, serums and/or face oils on a cleansed skin helps facial products penetrate deeper. Isn’t it the perfect Valentine’s Day gift to yourself?
