6 body care trends to try this V-day

The biggest self love trend of 2024 is body care! In addition to showing yourself some emotional love, treat yourself to some luxurious body care products so you can truly love yourself inside and out. Here are 6 easy ways to show your body some TLC during love month (and beyond).

1. Orgasms

Yes, body care absolutely extends to sexual wellness! Whether you’re masturbating or having partnered sex, orgasms are known to have amazing mental and physical health benefits.

It is also super important that you’re using body-safe products. This means toys, lube, condoms, kink accessories, wipes and cleansers, etc. Make sure all your intimate products are good for you and your bod.

2. Moisturize

A good moisturizing routine is an essential component of body care. From hand cream, to face moisturizer, to body lotion; there’s really no feeling more luxurious than that of being well moisturized. Whether it’s a super boujee moisturizer that gives you that Hailey Bieber level glow, your fave drug store lotion that smells oh so good, or a good ol' face mask; treat yourself to whatever feels the most luxurious to you.

4. Hair Care

The basic shampoo/condition is a really easy routine to maintain, but every once in a while it’s nice to go the extra mile for those follicles. Doing a hair mask is a really nice way to show your hair some care on special occasions, or incorporate a serum or oil into your regular routine to give you a little extra shine (which is guaranteed to make you feel good). Be sure to use a heat protectant on your hair whenever you use styling tools as the ultimate act of love to your locks.

5. SPF

Say it with me: WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN! Caring for the health of your largest organ (your skin) is a body-care must. SPF is proven reduce the dangerous effects of sun damage, including melanoma. It also reduces signs of ageing, so all your pricey skin care products are a total waste if you’re not protecting yourself against the sun. Invest in quality mineral sunscreen that you can wear daily without feeling greasy or clogging your pores, even try a tinted sunscreen for a little extra glow.

6. Healthy Habits

While these are all great ways to care for your outer self, body care also includes your inner self. This means regular physical activity, incorporating healthy nutrient rich foods into your diet, getting outside for fresh air and vitamin D, sleeping well, and taking your vitamins/supplements (see your doc to determine if you have any deficiencies that could benefit from a little boost).
