Whether you're prepping for a romantic getaway or just want to indulge in a little post-flight pampering, here are some fabulous ways to get gorgeous this Valentine's Day.

SET THE MOOD

Instead of rushing through your beauty regimen before you take flight or after you touch down, luxuriate in the primping process. Light scented travel candles, cue up some tunes, and trade in your shower for a relaxing bath.

SMOOTH MOVES

Don't ruin the moment with dry skin. To get your dermis glowing, take a few extra minutes to exfoliate.

Be sure to buff areas where skin tends to be rougher, like elbows and knees. Afterward, smooth on a luscious-smelling lotion or body butter.

GET A SOFT GLOW

Swap bold colors for a softer palette. Get a lit-from-within look by applying a dab of luminizing lotion to your foundation. Next, sweep a soft pink or peachy blush on the apples of your cheeks. On eyes, choose pale pink or nude shades. For an ultra-kissable pout, smooth lips with a bit of balm and then apply a sweet shade of pink or sheer red. Top with gloss, and you're ready for your close-up.
