Valentine’s Day is often tied purely to the romance of couples. But at Vogue Scandinavia, we believe it’s also the perfect occasion to indulge in a little self-love and care – because no one deserves your affection more than you.

It’s often said, “You can’t truly love others until you love yourself.” While we experience unconditional love from the moment we’re born twoards those closest to us – there’s some truth to this sentiment. Over a lifetime, we form countless relationships, each shaping our understanding of love. From the deep bonds of romance to the warmth we feel for a cherished colleague, love takes many forms. But at its core, every relationship shares one essential truth: to love and be loved, we must first embrace ourselves.
For Valentine’s Day 2025 , Vogue Scandinavia invites you to turn that love inward. Take yourself on a date, indulge in a little self-care, and celebrate the most important relationship of all – the one with you. Here, we’ve gathered the best products for an evening of pure self-love.
Create an inviting space
Once considered witchcraft, crystals have seamlessly integrated into modern life – no hocus-pocus required. Instead, crystals serve as gentle reminders to centre our thoughts and energy. Rose quartz, in particular, is the perfect companion for the occasion, symbolising unconditional love – not just for others, but for ourselves.
Love is something we experience on many levels, engaging all our senses. A meaningful first step in your evening of self-care is cleansing your space of negativity with incense. As the fragrant smoke swirls through the air, take a moment to purify your crystal as well, setting the stage for a night of self-love and renewal.
Pamper your skin
With your space cleansed, it’s time to indulge in some well-deserved pampering, starting with a long, soothing shower or bath. Let Susanne Kaufmann’s luxurious bath oil melt away stress and tension, while ROWSE’s Tangerine Cleansing Balm leaves your skin feeling soft, nourished, and deeply hydrated.
Post-bath, lock in moisture with Charlotte Tilbury’s iconic Magic Cream, your go-to for plump, radiant skin. While it works its magic, treat your under-eyes to Peter Thomas Roth’s hydrating eye patches, the perfect remedy for lingering winter dryness as we ease into spring.
Go for luxe loungewear
At Vogue Scandinavia, we know that when we look good, we feel good. The natural next step in your night of self-love? Slipping into something cosy – without sacrificing style, of course. Sleepers’ feather-trimmed pyjamas offer the best of both worlds: effortless comfort with a touch of glamour.
No luxurious loungewear look is complete without the perfect pair of slippers. This Valentine’s Day, we’re reaching for Dagmar’s mohair and cotton slippers, paired with ultra-soft cashmere socks from Johnston of Elgin – for warmth, indulgence, and a little everyday luxury.
Only do the things you love
Spending Valentine’s Day solo comes with its perks – chief among them, the freedom to do exactly what you love, on your own terms. Whether that means getting lost in a Netflix binge (The Empress has all the makings of your next costume drama obsession), cooking a meal from scratch while blasting your favourite songs, unwinding with a soothing online yoga class, or reflecting on personal growth through journaling – the choice is entirely yours. So embrace it, indulge, and enjoy every moment.
