Body Massage Essential Oil: Secret to Skin Relaxation

In spa therapy, the rubbing technique is the “backbone”, but body massage essential oil is the “soul” that brings elevated emotions. The drops of essence extracted from nature not only help hands glide smoothly on the skin but also penetrate deeply, nourish cells and soothe the mind. At Panda Spa, we believe that choosing the right type of essential oil will determine 50% of the treatment session’s effectiveness, turning it into a journey of awakening the senses full of enchantment.
