The Valentine's Day Gift & Self-Care Guide

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to show yourself or someone special a little extra love. Whether you’re planning a romantic evening, a fun Galentine’s celebration or a cozy night in, it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in some much-needed self-care. And what better way to celebrate love than with intentional skincare and beauty essentials?

From radiant, date-night-ready skin to thoughtful beauty gifts, I’m sharing my favorite Colleen Rothschild Beauty products to make this Valentine’s Day feel extra special.

Date Night Skincare Prep: Get That Effortless Glow  

Your skin is the foundation of any look and a radiant complexion is the ultimate confidence boost. Here’s how I prep for a special night:

• Sheer Renewal Cream – The perfect lightweight moisturizer that keeps my skin hydrated and prepped for flawless makeup application. It acts as the perfect smooth base and does not pill or alter any product you put on after!

• Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream – A quick touch of this instantly brightens and refreshes the under-eye area, making you look well-rested and radiant. Bring in your purse for on-the-go touch-ups as needed.

• Hydrashine Lipstick Balm - Use for a swipe of color while maintaining smooth, hydrated lips. From subtle to bold shades, one of the 5 shades from our Wanderlust collection will fit your look for the night!

• Tip! Radiant Cleansing Balm – This balm is my go-to for removing every trace of makeup and leaving my skin feeling soft and nourished. This is a MUST after date-night! Always remember to remove your makeup!

The Best Valentine’s Day Beauty Gifts

Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift or treating yourself (because self-love is the best love!), here are my top picks:

• For the Skincare Devotee – Our Gentle & Clear Skincare Set is a beautifully curated 4-step routine designed to purify, balance and refresh the skin, making it ideal for all skin types.

• For the Luxe Beauty Lover – Pair our Extreme Recovery Cream and Face Oil No. 9 together to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin for the ultimate pampering experience.

• For the Haircare Obsessed – The Smooth & Shine Hair Serum is my go-to for soft, silky strands that look and feel healthy.

• For the Glow-Getter – The Vitamin C Brightening Serum delivers a bright, radiant complexion and helps keep skin looking luminous year-round.

• For the “I’m not sure what to give” Friend - Our Dual Enzyme Polish is the perfect introduction to exfoliation. Its gentle yet effective formula is perfect for all skin types and leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed. 

Valentine’s Day Self-Care: Indulge in a Spa Night

Not in the mood to go out? I love turning Valentine’s Day into a self-care night. Here’s my perfect at-home ritual for year-round spa days!

• Set the mood: Light your favorite candle, put on a cozy playlist and pour a cup of herbal tea (or a glass of wine!). One of my favorites is our Rituals Candle infused with Matcha Tea, Chamomile and Fresh Herbs. 

• Take a Bath: A tip from my husband and business partner, Stan, that I now also do myself -  Every bath I always add a couple of drops of our Bio-Azure Replenishing Oil to the water. Not only does it smell great, but it gives an extra boost of hydration to my skin. 

• Tone and Refresh: Our Micro-Mineral Soothing Toner softens, restores and conditions skin with Rose Quartz for the perfect at-home experience. 

• Hydrate & Nourish: Apply our Intense Hydrating Mask to the skin and leave it on overnight to wake up with soft, replenished skin.

Valentine’s Day FAQs

What would be a unique Valentine's Day gift idea for a beauty lover?

• Our Universal Rescue Balm is a must-have for a beauty lover, supporting the skin barrier from head to toe and the uses are endless. Pair with our Moisturizing Gloves for the perfect at-home experience leaving your skin and cuticles feeling silky and smooth. 

I’m trying to get my significant other more into skincare - what would be a good starter product to try?

• Two products I would definitely recommend are a moisturizer and eye cream - two simple steps that can make a big difference in the look and feel of your skin. Our Extreme Recovery Cream is perfect for all skin types and can be used morning/night. It leaves your skin hydrated and supports evening out skin tone and texture. Pair with our Complete Eye Cream to help reduce dark circles and puffiness while also giving a hydration boost to the most delicate skin on your face. 

No matter how you’re celebrating.. whether with a loved one, your best friend or simply taking time for yourself, remember that self-care is a reflection of self-love. Take a moment to do something that makes you feel good, inside and out.
