Updated February 1, 2024 

Ah, February; the time of year when everyone has love on the brain. As you know, here at Harben House, there is nothing we love more than helping skin look and feel its best, so we are sharing 10 of our favorite ways to show your skin how much you care.

With every day values and few splurges, there's something on this list perfect for pampering yourself (or a loved one) this year.

1. Revision Skincare Youthfull Lip Replenisher 

We can't think of a better part of the body than lips to focus on around Valentines Day, and hope you agree. If your lips have been looking a bit less luscious than they used to, don't panic: that's a normal part of aging, and there are lots of ways to love on your lips. 

Revision's Youthfull Lip Replenisher is one of our absolute favorite ways to care for lips thanks to its comprehensive formula. With peptides for volume, hyaluronic acid for hydration, antioxidants, and more, it has everything you need to help deliver your healthiest lips yet.

• jane iredale HydroPure Hyaluronic Acid Lip Treatment - Repair and restore dry, damaged lips with this richly hydrating and nourishing formula.

2. Baby Foot Spa Bundle

It's so easy to neglect your feet, but we all know how good it feels when you take some time to care for them. Whether it's a pedicure, a foot massage, or an at-home soak, there isn't much that says "self-care" like doing something for your feet. 

Baby Foot is an exfoliation treatment, similar to a chemical peel, for your feet! With 16 natural extracts to exfoliate and moisturize skin, it leaves feet feeling soft & smooth as a baby's (hence the name). The Spa Bundle, comes with one foot peel, plus 2 soaks, and a tube of scrub, so you can give your feet some extra TLC. 

Other Baby Foot options:

• Baby Foot Moisturizing Foot Mask - A quick, non-exfoliating way to get moisture back into dry or cracked feet.
• Original Baby Foot Peel - The Baby Foot Peel is available in its original form, or the Men's version.

Face masks are a fantastic way to care for your skin beyond your standard daily regimen, and this one from ClarityRx is good enough to consider making it part of your regular routine.

It's silky-smooth and packed with powerful ingredient to balance and protect your biome. Lactobacillus Probiotic works to strengthen your skin’s natural defenses, while providing instant relief to red or irritated skin.

Each set comes with 6 pairs of the patches, intended to give your eyes a weekly pick-me-up over a 6-week period.

8. AnteAGE VRS

AnteAGE is known for their stem cell and growth factor technology, which can stimulate natural healing processes and restore a youthful appearance. Their VRS Vaginal Rejuvenation Solution is a perhaps surprising, but powerful way to use that technology to restore youthful vitality to skin in a part of the body you may not think of when it comes to aging.

Growth factors, cytokines, and hyaluronic acid combine in this solution to address the problems that develop with age, strengthening the vaginal wall, reducing inflammation, and increasing moisture. Gynecologist tested, VRS is an effective, discreet vaginal rejuvenation method that can be used as a stand-alone at-home treatment, or for post procedure care.

If VRS isn't for you, here are some options for another rarely-discussed area of skin: your scalp.

• AnteAGE MD Home Hair System
• Restorsea PRO Revitalizing Scalp Treatment

9. Jane Iredale Skin Omegas Supplement

Supplements may not be top of mind when you think about skincare, but are a great way to get vitamins and minerals that support healthy skin when you aren't getting enough of them in your diet, helping skin from the inside-out.

Jane Iredale's Skin Omegas supplement is rich in both Omega 3 and Omega 6, two fatty acids that can do wonders for skin health. These omegas are anti-inflammatory, increase  hydration, and help maintain a healthy lipid layer in skin. 

Here are some other options for skin-boosting nutritional supplements:

• Osmosis Regenerate | Liver and Collagen Renewal
• Truth Treatment Systems Fulvic Cellular Repair Complex

10. Revision Lumiquin Hand Cream

While our hands usually get a bit more attention than feet (after all, they're on display a lot more often), they are another commonly neglected part of our skin.

Revision Skincare's Lumiquin is a unique night time treatment that moisturizes your hands and evens their skin tone to reduce the appearance of age spots or other discoloration. Applying the cream before bed allows Lumiquin to work on skin for several hours without interruption from hand washing. 

For best results, use every night, and pair with a regular hand cream & SPF for the day time. Here are some daytime hand cream options we recommend:

• jane iredale Hand Drink Hand Cream SPF 15
• EltaMD So Silky Hand Cream
• Restorsea PRO Intensive Treatment 10x Hand Cream
