4. Organic Lotion Bars Trio Set, £23.85, www.goallnatural.co.uk

Get rid of dry, undernourished skin quickly, and replace it with hydrated, protected luminosity. Go All Natural’s Organic Lotion Bars combine intensely moisturising butters and essential oils to create the silkiest, softest skin. All that’s left is for your date to go ahead and start falling madly in love.

Get ready with one of these lotion bars, and you will impress your awaiting valentine on your night of romance. Did you know these bars double up as great massage products too? You’re welcome.
