When it comes to self-care, both massages and facials offer powerful benefits—but they serve different purposes. While one targets deep physical stress and muscular tension, the other helps restore skin health, glow, and balance. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Should I get a massage or a facial?”, this guide is for you.
At Lomilomi Hana Lima, we offer both therapies rooted in the healing spirit of Hawaiʻi, and we understand that your needs can change with the seasons, your lifestyle, and your body’s signals. So—what does your body really need right now?
Massage therapy is ideal when your body is asking for deep physical relief or mental rest. Whether you’re working long hours, training hard, or experiencing stress that’s showing up as tightness or fatigue, a massage may be exactly what you need.
Massage improves circulation, reduces muscle tension, promotes deep relaxation, and can ease headaches and anxiety. It’s a whole-body reset—physically and emotionally.
At Lomilomi Hana Lima, our traditional Hawaiian Lomilomi massage uses rhythmic, flowing techniques to restore harmony, relieve stress, and support your body’s natural healing abilities.
Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it reflects everything from the environment you live in to your stress levels, diet, and hydration. A facial is your go-to when your skin needs care, repair, or rejuvenation—especially in Oʻahu’s tropical climate.
Facials cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin. They support cell turnover, reduce inflammation, and leave your complexion brighter, smoother, and more balanced. Whether you’re a local dealing with humidity or a visitor recovering from sun exposure, a facial can revive your skin’s natural glow.
Our Hawaiian-inspired facials use ingredients like noni, papaya enzymes, kukui oil, and hibiscus—all chosen to hydrate, heal, and harmonize your skin.
Massage and facial treatments complement each other beautifully. If your body feels tired and your skin looks stressed, consider booking a combined session. At Lomilomi Hana Lima, we offer customizable packages so you don’t have to choose between body and skin—you can care for both.
Self-care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some days call for a grounding, full-body massage to ease tension and restore balance. Other days, your skin may be asking for renewal, hydration, and glow. The key is tuning into how you feel and giving yourself permission to receive what you need.
Whether you opt for a massage, facial, or both—you’re investing in your well-being. And in the spirit of aloha, that’s always time well spent.
