Love is in the air! And we love celebrating all kinds of love, whether it’s romantic love with a partner, platonic love for your friends, familial love for your nearest and dearest etc., but one of the most overlooked types of love is self-love.

Not this year! We’ve put together some ways you can truly love and celebrate yourself this season.

Valentine’s Day Blues?

Of course, it would be remiss of us to gloss over the fact that this time of year can be a challenging time for some. Whether it’s the huge expectations placed on this day by the media (and just about every Instagram post you see), to be on the receiving end of the grandest of romantic gestures, or the pressure to be coupled up being more pronounced this time of year, we get it.

While it is important to acknowledge how that can make us feel, it’s more important to devote our energy to, for example, finding gratitude in the things we already have, and truly taking care of your mind, body and soul. After all, there’s no care quite like self-care!

5 Self-Care Strategies

1: Eat your favourite foods

Treat yourself to something nice! Whether it’s finally trying out that recipe you saw on TikTok ages ago lying around in your ‘saved’ folder, or walking into your favourite brunch spot to get yourself a nutritious fix to start your day, food can bring us comfort and happiness in different ways!

2: Create a list of goals

Take the time to look inward and chart out some goals for yourself. Whether it’s making sure you make time to exercise a bit more for those workout endorphins, or making a conscious choice to eat healthier this year, anything that helps you feel like you’re taking care of yourself is always a good step.

3: Take the day off work

If you feel like life’s not been giving you a break, literally take one! You could even take a little day trip on your own and discover some new places you’ve never been before. Plan the day exactly how you want and spend some quality time with yourself outside of your usual routine!

4: Journal

Writing can be cathartic, and help you compartmentalise any emotions. So why not get yourself a pretty journal from your favourite book or gift store, and start journalling? You could start with little things you’re grateful for every day, and remind yourself of the good things in your life.

5: Plan a date with friends

It’s often easy to get wrapped up in the fact you might be feeling a certain way on your own, when the truth is that many others might feel the exact same thing! So reach out to your other single (or not so single) friends and plan a date together! After all, ‘Galentine’s Day’ has caught on in recent years for good reason – so why not start one with your friend group?

Indulge in self-care with Modere’s skincare range

Have you tried our Modere CellProof skincare line?

With a wide range of products, it’s sure to leave you feeling pampered, beautiful and radiant!

The secret to the effectiveness of Modere CellProof lies in its patented collagen ingredient, BioCell Collagen® CG. A cosmetic-grade version of our multi-patented, award-winning Liquid BioCell® collagen supplement, BioCell Collagen CG is backed by Collagen/HA Matrix® Technology. This means each molecule undergoes a patented Bio-Optimized™ manufacturing process, resulting in a micromolecule ideal for topical application. Plus, these micromolecules don’t only deliver collagen — they’re a single-source matrix of collagen + hyaluronic acid + chondroitin sulfate.

The CellProof Cycle is our 6-step skincare system designed to improve the overall healthy appearance of your skin. It begins with Modere CellProof Double Cleanser, followed by a lightweight layer of Modere CellProof Bakuchiol Booster and then Modere CellProof Serum, which work to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting a more even skin tone. Next, Modere CellProof Eye Cream and CellProof Moisturizer work to provide intense hydration while also helping to protect your skin from environmental stressors. Finally, a swipe of Modere CellProof Lip Complex completes the overall cycle providing the essential components your skin needs to look and feel its best.
