Ah, February. The month of heart-shaped everything, cold noses, and trying to pretend we’re not still recovering from January. Between snowbanks, busy schedules and the rush to find the perfect Valentine’s gift, it’s easy to forget that February is also peak dry skin season.
This year, instead of another last-minute card or overpriced chocolates, I’m going practical, but still full of love. I’m gifting Zax’s Original Creams to the people I care about most. Because what says “I love you” better than natural, Canadian-made products that actually help them feel better?
Whether it’s a partner, your kids’ teacher, your BFF, or yourself, there’s a Zax’s product that shows you care, and thanks to some sweet February sales, now’s the time to stock up.
Why Zax’s Creams Make the Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift
Sure, flowers are nice. But do they soothe cracked hands? Do they reduce puffiness under tired eyes? Do they help heal a bruise after slipping on the driveway ice?
Exactly.
Zax’s Original creams are a practical-but-thoughtful gift that feels like a hug in a tube. They’re perfect for:
✅ Busy moms
✅ Active kids
✅ Husbands who won’t admit their feet are dry
✅ Teachers, grandparents, caregivers, anyone who deserves a little TLC
Plus, they’re made with natural, effective ingredients, right here in Canada. And honestly? The price point is perfect. You can build a sweet little “Self-Care Bundle” for less than dinner out.
My Favourite Creams for February Gifting
💕 Zax’s Original Dark Circle Eye Cream
Perfect for: tired parents, busy students, anyone staying up too late
Late nights and early mornings don’t stop just because it’s February. This little gem helps de-puff and brighten naturally, with witch hazel and caffeine doing all the heavy lifting. I’m gifting this to my cousin (who has a newborn) and tucking one into my own nightstand.
💘 Zax’s Original Heelspur Cream
Perfect for: cracked winter heels, sore feet, dry patches
Winter boots are no joke, and neither is dry skin. I love this cream not just for foot pain, but for soothing heels, elbows, and knees, especially after a long day on your feet. I’m wrapping it up with cozy socks and calling it my “sole mate” gift set.
💖 Zax’s Original Bruise Cream
Perfect for: anyone who bruises easily (hi, hockey season), or has a winter-activity loving family. My husband slipped on the driveway shovelling last week and still has the bruise to prove it. This cream helps reduce swelling and discoloration quickly and it’s a lifesaver for my moms constantly bumped legs. It’s not the most romantic gift, but it is thoughtful and genuinely helpful.
💗 Zax’s Original Burn Cream
Perfect for: anyone who loves to cook, or loves someone who does
Hot pans, boiling pasta water, and hair straighteners , burns happen fast. I keep this cream in the kitchen, and it’s my go-to for minor burns and irritations. If you’re baking heart-shaped cookies for the family, it’s smart to have on hand.
Self-Care Is Still Love
Let’s be honest, by the time February rolls around, we’re all a little tired. The holidays are behind us, the snow is still falling, and our skin is feeling the effects of central heating, dry air, and too many nights with not enough sleep.
So here’s your reminder: taking care of yourself is part of showing love too.
This month, I’m building myself a little “Mom Care Kit” with:
-
Zax’s Eye Cream (for tired eyes)
-
Zax’s Heelspur Cream (for dry heels and post-shovel feet)
-
Zax’s Eczema Cream (for winter skin flair-ups)
-
And a few chocolate hearts, obviously 🍫
It’s not extravagant, but it makes me feel human. And that matters.

Love Looks Like This…
Love doesn’t always come with roses and grand gestures. Sometimes, love looks like soothing your partner’s dry hands. Helping your kid with itchy winter skin. Sending your sister a little something “just because.”
And sometimes? Love looks like tossing a tube of Zax’s Bruise Cream into your kids hockey bag or keeping Eye Cream in your car for those early morning drop-offs.
Love is care. Love is comfort. Love is Canadian-made and fits in your jacket pocket.
Shop Zax’s Original online or at select Canadian retailers this February, and don’t miss out on limited-time Valentine’s Day sales.

Happy Valentine’s Day—and don’t forget to treat yourself, too 💗
