Inspired by the bathing rituals of ancient Egypt and Rome – and the charged alliance of Cleopatra and Mark Antony – the brand’s shower oils transform water into a soft, milky veil that cleanses while subtly scenting the skin. There are four oils in the collection. Silk Veil – with notes of neroli and ylang-ylang layered over tuberose, gardenia and jasmine – is the one to reach for in the evening, while Fig Milk is the perfect morning choice, blending creamy fig with coconut and grounding cedarwood. *Visit* [SELFRIDGES.COM](https://selfridges.prf.hn/click/camref:1100loTp9/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.selfridges.com%2FGB%2Fen%2Fcat%2F39bc%2F) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Rl2f-RmidgCAB9vYaxfLy2sER1M=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-130226-valentines-wellness-hotlist-aime-love-boost.jpg) ](https://aime.co/en/products/924-love-boost-brume-intime) ## The Mood Setter ### Aime Love Boost Mist If you want to change the mood of a room in seconds, scent is the shortcut. Aime’s Love Boost Mist is designed as a sensory reset – soft, comforting and subtly mood-lifting, without drifting into overpowering perfume territory. The blend of white florals, sandalwood and white musk was developed using neuroscience research to gently stimulate the senses and support feelings of pleasure and connection. Mist over skin, sheets or the air to create an atmosphere that feels instantly more inviting. Think of it as the modern Valentine’s alternative to candles and flowers – more versatile, and far longer lasting. *Visit* [AIME.CO](https://aime.co/en/products/924-love-boost-brume-intime) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/36XkBqSR6QSFA6II0XDoR0t9kg0=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-130226-valentines-wellness-hotlist-arc.jpg) ](https://www.arc-community.com/) ## The Alternative Night Out ### Arc For couples, friends or solo wellness enthusiasts who want to do Valentine’s differently, Arc After Dark offers something memorable. Founded by former Soho House director Chris Miller and neuroscientist Dr Alanna Kit, Arc is the UK’s first communal contrast therapy club – and at 5,000 square feet, it’s also the largest. The space is designed for hot-and-cold experiences that support nervous system regulation, circulation and mood, while also encouraging human connection. Arc After Dark is a more social version of the daytime sessions, running from 7pm to 9.30pm on Valentine’s Saturday. Expect wellness with energy – less candlelit dinner and more shared endorphins – and a reminder that connection doesn’t have to revolve around a table for two. *Visit* [ARC-COMMUNITY.COM](https://www.arc-community.com/) ## The Thoughtful Read ### Heart The Lover Chosen as the SheerLuxe January Book Club pick, *Heart The Lover* is one of those books that stays with you. Set on a New England university campus in the 1980s, it centres on a close friendship group, a relationship that doesn’t end cleanly and how early emotional bonds often resurface years later. What Lily King does so well is capture the messy middle ground of love – not the big declarations, but the quieter moments – old conversations replayed in your head, the pull of someone who once felt central to your life, and the realisation that timing can matter as much as feeling. It’s reflective without being heavy, warm without being sentimental, and the perfect Valentine’s read. *Visit* [AMAZON.CO.UK](https://amzn.to/4rILm0g) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/FA8_Uj3hN5a7YFVf_JFVKFTtDCY=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-130226-valentines-wellness-hotlist-heart-the-lover.jpg) ](https://amzn.to/4rILm0g) ## The Smarter Playlist ### Sollos We all know music can change your mood – but Sollos takes that idea one step further. Created by Universal Music Group, it’s an audio wellness platform built on the science of how sound affects the brain, using familiar tracks from artists like Ariana Grande, Olivia Dean and Shawn Mendes to help you feel calmer, clearer and more emotionally steady. Instead of leaning into sad-song spirals or background noise this Valentine’s Day, its playlists are designed to subtly lift your mood, help you process emotions, soften stress and feel more grounded. There’s clever science happening in the background – subtle sound frequencies are layered into the music to support calm and focus – but as a listener, all you notice is music that lands differently. It’s comforting, mood-enhancing and surprisingly addictive. *Available exclusively on Apple Music under Sound Therapy.

Alice Mushrooms’ Happy Ending is essentially an aphrodisiac chocolate – rich, dark and indulgent, with a clever functional twist. Each square blends organic dark chocolate with a mix of adaptogenic mushrooms, herbs and spices traditionally linked to energy, arousal and mood, including cordyceps, ashwagandha and maca, finished with warming hits of cayenne and cinnamon. Expect an immediate sense of lift and warmth, but nothing overly jittery or intense – think more subtle spark than fireworks. Over time, the blend is designed to support sexual wellbeing for all genders, making this smart supplement as much about long-term balance as in-the-moment pleasure. *Visit* [HEALF.COM](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=22320&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fhealf.com%2Fproducts%2Falice-mushrooms-happy-ending%3Fvariant%3D46192846242031%26selling_plan%3D6618251503) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/I4BUW249uHN3s7IG6YBUaFrLiTY=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-130226-valentines-wellness-hotlist-deste.jpg) ](https://thisisdeste.com/) ## The Modern Oracle ### Desté For those who prefer a more intuitive wellness experience, Desté is the app to download. Rooted in tarot, it centres around a deck of 45 beautifully illustrated cards, each designed to help you pause, reflect and tune into your own inner voice. Draw a card when you’re facing a decision, are feeling emotionally foggy, or simply want a moment of guidance – not to predict the future, but to reflect on what’s already there. Each card includes thoughtful interpretations and prompts, encouraging you to explore your thoughts, feelings and instincts. Beyond the deck, Desté also offers space for journalling, daily reflections and self-care rituals. The mantra widget is another clever feature, delivering a daily affirmation to your home screen as a gentle nudge towards presence and clarity. *Visit* [THISISDESTE.COM](https://thisisdeste.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/ISJs4CfvBA37m3unuUUnsLlNzfo=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-130226-valentines-wellness-hotlist-cosmic-dealer.jpg) ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=22320&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fhealf.com%2Fcollections%2Fcosmic-dealer) ## The Sweet Treat ### Cosmic Dealer For chocolate that feels indulgent yet considered, Cosmic Dealer is worth knowing. Founded in Paris, the brand creates raw dark chocolate squares enriched with nut butters, botanicals, and functional ingredients, designed to satisfy cravings without a sugar spike or crash. Free from artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers and refined oils, each square is sweetened with just a sprinkling of dates – around two grams – resulting in roughly 80% less sugar than a standard chocolate bar. The flavour combinations are where things get interesting: wild blueberry and reishi, pistachio and lion’s mane, peanut butter and smoked salt, matcha and cashew, and black tahini with chai. *Visit* [HEALF.COM](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=22320&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fhealf.com%2Fcollections%2Fcosmic-dealer) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/ugC-8DSeCi_8Jrb6YwAC2Xz_p_s=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-130226-valentines-wellness-hotlist-sitre.jpg) ](https://sitrestore.com/en-gb) ## The Intimacy Upgrade ### Sitre Sitre approaches intimacy the way modern skincare brands approach skin – thoughtfully, transparently and with real attention to ingredients. Founded in Denmark, the brand was created by two friends in response to how clinical or over-sexed intimacy products can feel, reframing sexual wellness as something that belongs naturally within everyday self-care. The Pleasure Boost Oil – a silky, plant-based formula infused with CBD – is a bestseller, designed to relax the body and enhance sensation, whether used for massage, foreplay or simply slowing things down. Pair it with Pillow Haze, a massage candle that melts into warm oil, blending shea butter and botanical oils with a subtle, grounding scent that shifts the mood before touch even begins. *Visit* [SITRESTORE.COM](https://sitrestore.com/en-gb) ## The Journal ### Wilde House Paper If Valentine’s Day is about paying attention to what – and who – really matters, a beautiful journal is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Designed in California, Wilde House Paper’s journals are built around the simple but transformative ritual of putting pen to paper. The Pieces Of You Journal, with its structured prompts that guide six weeks of reflection on themes such as connection and self-awareness, is an ideal starting point. The Open Journals – available in grounded hues such as espresso, moss and cloud – are less prescriptive, leaving space for whatever form your reflection takes. For those who want guidance, purchasing any Open Journal unlocks complimentary access to a digital library of seasonally refreshed, seven-day journalling courses designed to help you navigate stress, explore gratitude, tune in to desire or cultivate in-the-moment presence. *Visit* [WILDEHOUSEPAPER.COM](https://wildehousepaper.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/pJCeSA7-2EarBjFkDvNGjbVSimU=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-130226-valentines-wellness-hotlist-wilde-house-paper.jpg) ](https://wildehousepaper.com/) *more from* Life [View All Life](/life) ![Your December Horoscope](https://media.sheerluxe.com/V1JKNXaZPEXyBJRrpu9DYPZ08oQ=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F10%2Fsl-011025-site-assets-horoscopes-hero-thumb.jpg) [Life](/life) / 01 December 2025 [## Your December Horoscope ](/life/your-december-horoscope-4) ![How A Nutritional Therapist Navigates The Festive Season](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Qdl0jDJ6HK09BhdDgjD5jkArAjY=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F12%2Fsl-site-assets-011225-thumbhero-lucy-miller-healthy-december-tips-1.jpg) [Health & Wellness](/life/health-wellness) / 01 December 2025 [## How A Nutritional Therapist Navigates The Festive Season ](/life/health-wellness/how-a-nutritional-therapist-navigates-the-festive-season) ![An M&S Flower Launch You Need To Know About](https://media.sheerluxe.com/eOA-PoVh1-ER5EXVTQdoVj8Ry24=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F12%2Fsl-site-assets-011225-thumb-com-ms-flowers.jpg) [Life](/life) / 01 December 2025 [## An M&S Flower Launch You Need To Know About ](/life/an-ms-flower-launch-you-need-to-know-about) ![24 Clever Buys To Beat The Winter Blues](https://media.sheerluxe.com/TCXcLAOb8oFPaMBFe2RKe8_oZmc=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F11%2Fsl-site-assets-251125-thumb-hero-winter-wellness-sad-product-picks.jpg) [Health & Wellness](/life/health-wellness) / 25 November 2025 [## 24 Clever Buys To Beat The Winter Blues ](/life/health-wellness/best-seasonal-affective-disorder-lamp) ![A Day In The Life Of A BAFTA-Award Winning Writer-Actress ](https://media.sheerluxe.com/FVd3uoyAGLaU1jKgGLYUVJHqHRQ=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F11%2Fsl-site-assets-191125-thumb-hero-interview-nicole-lecky.jpg) [Life](/life) / 19 November 2025 [## A Day In The Life Of A BAFTA-Award Winning Writer-Actress ](/life/nicole-lecky) Share This Story [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?display=popup&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com&u=https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Flife%2Fhealth-wellness%2F10-self-care-treats-for-valentines-day&t=10+Self-Care+Treats+For+Valentine%E2%80%99s+Day) [ Pinterest ](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Flife%2Fhealth-wellness%2F10-self-care-treats-for-valentines-day&description=10+Self-Care+Treats+For+Valentine%E2%80%99s+Day&media=) [ E-mail ]() DISCLAIMER: We endeavour to always credit the correct original source of every image we use.
