A MASSAGE AND SKIN CARE ALL IN ONE? YES, IT’S POSSIBLE!
The month of February is Valentine’s Day, the celebration of love and gestures celebrating the expression of love through gifts, attentions and Zen moments.
Among these Zen moments, we often offer a break at the spa for a relaxing massage, relaxation and well-being.
Since the massage therapist will provide all his knowledge through professional massage techniques to release muscles and tension but what about the skin? Why not take advantage of this relaxing moment to treat your skin with quality oils with or without perfume?
Very often in the winter our skin is dry, dehydrated and flaky. By asking for a massage oil that will meet your skin’s needs, you will be able to benefit from two treatments in one: a relaxing massage and a treatment for your skin. After the massage, not only will the tension disappear but the softness and radiance of your skin will be revived. Dry skin will have regained its suppleness.
Here are 3 oils of first pressure to discover to treat your skin during a massage.
