Massage Oils – Wellness, Aroma and Self-Care

A relaxing massage with fragrant oils can work wonders for body and mind. Massage releases muscle tension, gets blood circulation going, and provides a deep sense of relaxation and renewed energy. At the same time, it is a luxurious form of self-care – a small piece of wellness in everyday life. SKØN Skincare, which supplies products to exclusive spa locations, has developed a range of aromatic body and massage oils, so you can create a true spa atmosphere at home. These oils contain pure, natural aromas that send the senses on a spa getaway and fill the room with a pleasant wellness ambience. Here we guide you through the different massage oils from SKØN Skincare – Energizing, Happy, Restoring and Harmony – and share tips on how to use them for maximum enjoyment and effect.

Energizing Body Oil – Invigorating energy for body and mind

Energizing Body Oil is a luxurious body oil rich in healthy vitamins and antioxidants that is quickly absorbed into the skin. It is especially good for dry skin, which it nourishes and softens without feeling greasy. The oil’s lightness means it spreads and absorbs easily without leaving the skin sticky – on the contrary, the skin becomes silky-soft and well cared for. As the name suggests, Energizing has a fresh, uplifting scent: an intoxicating blend of juicy orange and lively bergamot, spiced with a soft note of cedarwood. These citrus and woody notes create a true wellness vibe and are said in aromatherapy to bring renewed energy and joy.

If you want a quick, invigorating massage, Energizing can be used for that purpose – just remember that it is formulated to absorb quickly, so you have a shorter “working window” than with a classic massage oil. The advantage is that the skin is not left greasy, and you feel fresh and not sticky after the massage.

Happy Body Oil – Lift your mood with floral well-being

Happy Body Oil is another wonderful, fast-absorbing body oil from SKØN that pampers the skin with a bounty of luxurious oils, essential fatty acids, and vitamins. Like Energizing, it is created to nourish dry skin and leaves the skin silky-soft and supple without a greasy feel.

The difference lies in the scent: Happy has a soft, warm floral fragrance that can instantly lift your mood. It features intoxicating aromas of citrus fruits (fresh lemon, grapefruit, and orange) as well as bergamot on top, while an exotic base note of ylang-ylang adds depth to the fragrance. The result is a delicious, pleasant scent that in aromatherapy is said to have a warming and mood-lifting effect.

Both of SKØN’s body oils – Happy and Energizing – are built on the same nourishing base of jojoba, peach kernel, and grapeseed oil, which strengthens and softens dry skin. You can therefore choose the scent that appeals to you most and still get optimal care. Happy Body Oil can also be used for massage to create a “feel-good” experience – the oil wraps protectively around the skin and brings a spa-and-wellness mood with its aromatic notes. Like Energizing, it absorbs within a couple of minutes, so you can massage it in without feeling greasy and simply enjoy the sensual, floral scent afterwards.

Restoring Body Serum Oil – Active anti-age care for the body

For those who want active care in addition to well-being, Restoring Body Serum Oil is the obvious choice. This effective 2-in-1 body serum is designed for dry or mature skin that needs extra nourishment and regenerating anti-age care. The oil is enriched with Wakame algae extract – a documented active ingredient that helps the skin retain moisture and boost its level.

In other words, Restoring-serummet gives something “extra” to the skin: It rebuilds the skin barrier, improves the skin’s texture and comfort, and provides a natural anti-age effect on the body as well as the décolleté, arms, and legs. The combination of healthy fatty acids, antioxidants, algae extract, and vitamins works intensively nourishing, moisture-optimizing, and firming, so the skin becomes more even, radiant, soft, and supple.

Although Restoring contains more active ingredients than a classic body oil, it is still an oil – meaning it is rich and concentrated, but absorbs into the skin relatively quickly. This means you can use it for self-massage on areas that need extra care (e.g., dry shins or arms), but it will absorb faster than a traditional massage oil. The advantage is that you get both massage and targeted skincare in one, without the skin feeling sticky afterwards.

Tip: Use Restoring Body Serum Oil after a warm bath, and massage it into the skin – that way you transform your routine into a luxurious, spa-like treatment for your body.

Harmony Massageolie – The ultimate massage experience

When it comes to classic massage, Harmony Massageolie is made for the purpose. This 100% vegan massage oil is carefully composed to provide the ultimate massage experience. It offers a perfect balance between friction and glide, so the masseur (or you yourself) can work deeply without the hands “sticking” to the skin.

The oil is enriched with nourishing apricot kernel, jojoba, almond, and grapeseed oils that care for the skin during the massage, leaving it soft, hydrated, and comfortable. At the same time, Harmony is infused with a relaxing blend of essential oils – mint, green mandarin, orange, spearmint, and lavender – that fills the room with a soothing scent of well-being and relaxation.

These carefully selected fragrance notes create a harmonious, calm atmosphere that makes the massage a holistic experience for both body and mind. During use, the oil spreads evenly on the skin and remains smooth without leaving a greasy or sticky feeling. This means you can massage for longer, both with gentle, relaxing strokes and more deep-working grips, without constantly needing to add more oil.

Harmony Massageolie is therefore ideal for a longer, de-stressing massage – whether it is a professional treatment or a cozy at-home spa moment.

Massage guide: How to create wellness at home

1. Prepare the setting: Create calm around you with dim lighting, soothing music, and possibly candles.

2. Warm up body and oil: Take a warm bath first, pat yourself dry, and warm the oil between your hands.

3. Massage with presence: Use long strokes, light pressure, and small circles on tense areas.

4. Engage the senses: Breathe deeply and enjoy the aromatic scents along the way.

5. Finish and aftercare: End with calm strokes, let the oil absorb, and wrap yourself in a towel or bathrobe.
