Happy Valentine's Day! Whether you believe in the hype of Valentine's Day or not, it is the perfect reason to show the main person in your life a little love - I mean you! Business women, mothers, career ladies, careers it can be all to easy to find that we move down the list of things to look after. So today I am advocating a little self love and pampering with our At Home Spa Tricks with hair and make up expert, Carey Hawkins.

No matter what the occasion, whether a romantic night out of an indulgent night in, don't panic if you only have an hour to get ready - here is the cheats guide to a super smooth body, face, hair and a relaxed mind.

Start first with a deep conditioning hair treatment. This can either be an oil based product or a deep conditioner. Apply lots and wrap your head in a warm towel and let it work its magic. I like Philip Kingsley Elasticizer pre-shampoo treatment originally developed over 25 years ago for Audrey Hepburn!

Next let's move onto the face. You don't want to do anything too harsh before a night out like scrubbing to avoid any redness or breakouts but to create a good base for your make up. Try Ren Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial, for a natural/gentle brightening and clearing effect.

Now a quick dash into the shower. Grab a clean flannel, warm under the shower and drop a couple of drops of Rosemary Essential Oil** onto the flannel. Inhale deeply (without touching the face) and this will clear your head and give you a lovely instant energy boost. Next wet the body, turn off the shower and load up the body with Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub, concentrating on the elbows, heals and knees. Rinse body well, wash hair and pat skin dry after leaving shower.

To create a glowy base for your make up try keeping powder to a minimum, use a cream blush and try Illamasqua's Gleam Highlighter in Aurora down the centre of the nose, tops of cheekbones, tops of brows and cupids bow. Load on the mascara and create a sexy smudged eye and finish the look with gorgeous natural/glossy lips in Revlon Superlustrous Lipgloss in Super Natural.

Non sticky in the event there might be some kissing!
