They are generally diluted in a carrier oil before skin application. The term aromatherapy massage does not identify one oil blend or a fixed sequence of movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1254\" height=\"1254\" src=\"https:\/\/korea-beauty.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aroma-massage.png\" alt=\"Essential oils and carrier oil prepared for a massage\" class=\"wp-image-981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/korea-beauty.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aroma-massage.png 1254w, https:\/\/korea-beauty.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aroma-massage-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/korea-beauty.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aroma-massage-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/korea-beauty.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aroma-massage-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/korea-beauty.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aroma-massage-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aromatherapy massage uses diluted essential oils during massage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference from aromatherapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aromatherapy is a broader complementary approach that may involve inhalation or skin application.
