Valentine’s Day isn’t just about roses and romance—it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in a little extra self-care. Whether you're celebrating solo, with friends, or with someone special, glowing confidence starts from within.

Below, Edible Beauty founder and Naturopath Anna Mitsios shares her favourite self-care rituals to nourish both skin and soul this Valentine’s Day.

1. Begin with a Glow-Boosting Skincare Ritual

Self-care starts with skincare, and nothing says radiance like a dewy, hydrated complexion. Anna’s go-to glow-giving ritual includes:

• Radiance Enzyme Peel – A gentle fruit enzyme exfoliation to smooth and brighten.

  

• Plant Collagen Plumping Serum – A hydrating must-have for a naturally plump glow.

  

• Luminous Dew Drops – A final touch to lock in moisture and leave skin looking fresh and luminous.

  

2. Start the Day with Gratitude & Affirmations

A few moments of morning reflection can set the tone for the entire day. Anna loves writing down three things she’s grateful for, along with a self-love affirmation like:

“I radiate and attract love, compassion, and kindness”

“I am healthy and vibrant and radiate happiness and love”

3. Sip on a Nourishing Herbal Tea

Warming, antioxidant-rich teas are a simple way to nurture yourself from the inside out. Anna’s favourite? A calming chamomile and rose blend to soothe the mind and skin.

4. Indulge in a Sweet, Skin-Loving Treat

Baking for yourself or a loved one is a heartwarming act of self-care. A collagen-boosting smoothie bowl, dark chocolate bark, or a batch of homemade almond cookies can be a delicious way to celebrate.

Anna’s go-to Valentine's Day sweet treat is these Vegan Raspberry and Collagen Truffles by raw vegan chef Julie Mitsios (@earthtotablebondi).

5. Unwind with an Evening Pamper Ritual

As the day winds down, a little extra TLC goes a long way. Anna’s perfect night includes:

• A warm chai tea or maca hot chocolate.
• An Epsom salt foot bath, followed by a nourishing layer of Lift Me Up Body Whip to hydrate and smooth the skin deeply.

• A relaxing eye treatment using the LED Eye Wand and Diamond Rush Eye Serum, helping to brighten, depuff, and rejuvenate tired eyes.

• Popping two Botanical Sleep Support supplements to calm the mind and body for a restful night of beauty sleep.

This Valentine’s Day, embrace rituals that leave you feeling radiant, confident, and deeply cared for — because the most important love story starts with you! 💕
