It’s the time of year when love is in the hair. Malls are decked out in red and pink hearts. Restaurants are fully booked, and traffic jams are expected everywhere. How about celebrating the big love of your life—you? It’s always time for some pampering and self-love. A new hairstyle, fragrance, a bit of a lift. Here are some suggestions on how to do it any day of the year.
Hair Care
Straight or curly? Ends in or out? Farah Fawcett or Anna Wintour? Whichever way you want to wear your hair, you can do it all at home with the Dyson Air Wrap.
Like magic, the Air Wrap dries and styles without the need for extreme heat. It attracts and self-curls hair in loose waves or big curls, and even helps hide flyaway strands. This Valentine season, it comes in a limited edition loud and proud Topaz Orange. Splurge on yourself. You deserve it. dyson.ph
Love Life
Lanvin’s Mon Eclat evokes a happy summer day, sweet and fresh with the scent of jasmine, rose, bergamot, and aloe vera, with a base of musk and sandalwood. It’s specially created for those who love life. At leading department stores.
Smiley Like Miley
Gucci’s Flora Gorgeous Jasmine Eau de Parfum bursts with the fragrance of the sweet-smelling flower with notes of sandalwood and benzoi, mandarin, and magnolia. It manifests youth and joy, just like Miley Cyrus, who fronts its campaign. At leading department stores.
Roses for You
Diptyque’s Eau Rose is both floral and fruity, with a dash of vegetables on the side. Notes of rose, jasmine, and chamomile, with litchi and bergamot, over a base of musk, honey and wood. Who needs fresh blooms on Valentine’s when you can luxuriate in this fragrance every day.

Skin is In
Clé de Peau Beauté has a lovely boutique at Greenbelt 5 where you can spend an afternoon getting a pampering facial and other beauty treatments. Or you can luxuriate in your own beauty routine at home, with the star La Crème, Clé de Peau Beauté’s ultimate anti-aging night cream working as you sleep, helping your skin repair, renew, and protect itself overnight to maintain your youthful looks. cledepeau-beaute.com/ph/store
Blush of Youth
We love Perricone’s line of No Makeup Makeup. This No Blush Blush gives you the first-kiss flush of youth without the kissing. The gel-cream blush protects with SPF 30 as it evens and brightens the skin. rustans.com
Be a Queen
Ultherapy is the ultimate present to yourself, a non-invasive laser treatment that uses ultrasound to stimulate collagen and elastin production in your skin. Tighten and lift your double chin, define those cheekbones, reduce the loose skin on your jowls, and neck, and step back into the light. You’ll be your own beauty queen, just like Pia Wurtzbach, the face of Ultherapy by Merz Aesthetics.
