When we get a massage, we always think that we are going to choose a scented massage oil with a satin texture like those from Green Spa.
But as pleasant as they are, there are also other alternatives to professional massage oil !
For example, have you considered the idea of a massage with body milk?
Soft, delicate and easily absorbed by the skin, they can be your everyday hydration solution. Including during a spa or institute treatment!
Green Spa tells you all about body milk.
Body massage milk is a fluid and light product, formulated to provide the skin with both hydration and comfort during treatment.
Unlike oils, which are generally more oily, body milks have a texture closer to that of a fluid cream. They are designed to spread easily on the skin, while penetrating quickly, leaving a soft and non-greasy feeling.
Composition-wise, the base ingredients often include emollients , moisturizing agents like glycerin , and vegetable oils in smaller amounts than in massage oils.
As you can see, there are only positive things for the skin! This is what allows the body milk to nourish it while offering it a light protection , which makes it a pleasant product for both the person being massaged and the masseur.
But what makes choosing a body lotion sometimes preferable to choosing a massage oil?
Discover 4 benefits of body milk.
First of all, massage milks are particularly appreciated for their lightness and their ability to quickly penetrate the skin.
For massage professionals and beauticians , this means that they can be used in contexts where a drier touch is required, without leaving a greasy film on the skin. For example, it's great for " express " treatments lasting less than an hour.
This way, your massage recipient can get dressed quickly after the session without feeling sticky.
In addition, as we have seen, body milks have a very simple and sophisticated composition.
Which is why they are often enriched with moisturizing and soothing active ingredients, such as aloe vera, shea butter or chamomile extracts . These very specific ingredients add an additional benefit to the treatment, taking care of the skin while providing a feeling of relaxation.
And because body milk is lighter than massage oils, it makes it an ideal treatment for clients with sensitive or dry skin.
It's a gentler, more nourishing option than oils, which can sometimes be too greasy or occlusive.
Finally, in a spa or institute, massage milks are also suitable for relaxation treatments or treatments dedicated to skin hydration.
Their light texture is pleasant to the touch, and they allow for fluid and continuous massage movements, while limiting feelings of heaviness.
A real asset for relaxing massages, where the aim is to promote relaxation without saturating the skin with oils.
Massage oils have long been considered the gold standard in body care, particularly due to their ability to facilitate massage movements and moisturize the skin.
However, they have certain drawbacks that massage milks manage to get around.
First, oils often leave a greasy film on the surface of the skin. While this is very pleasant for prolonged massages, such as sports or Ayurvedic massages, it can also be problematic for treatments where lightness is desired.
As we have seen, there is no problem with body milk : the person receiving the massage can get dressed straight away afterwards.
And in this same logic, oils can sometimes stain clothes or sheets, requiring special precautions.
Milks, being less fatty, reduce this risk. Which is great for masseurs and masseuses who have trouble dealing with stains on their massage linen!
For professionals, adopting massage milk allows them to enrich their offer and meet the expectations of customers looking for a gentle, comfortable and effective treatment experience . An excellent alternative to vary the pleasures a little!
So why not treat yourself to a beauty salon treatment with body lotion?
