The First-Ever SKNMUSE Brand Journey: An Invitation to Sisterhood in Portugal

In early June, we launched a deeply personal adventure: our first-ever brand journey, to Portugal: carrying not influencers, but real (Skn)Muses, loyal customers whose stories and trust have shaped our brand. This gathering was about sisterhood, rest, and authenticity.

 

Why Portugal?

Portugal’s slow rhythms, coastal calm, and wellness traditions mirrored our pillars of intentional rest, ancient science, and authenticity.

Bringing Muses Together

By day two, the Portugal sunshine had fully settled into our souls, and into the gentle unfolding of our rituals. Our mornings began with laughter and sun-kissed breathwork, as the horizon glowed gold, and we breathed in our first intentional rest together. Evenings slipped quietly into evening oiling circles, where fingertips met skin, sparking soft smiles and whispered stories.

We shared impromptu reflection sessions over shared meals, olive oil drizzled on fresh bread, laughter echoing between us, hands brushing as we passed bowls of fragrant salads. Evening reflections found us on terraces or poolside, where candid conversations flowed, about dreams, wellness milestones, and the simple joy of being seen.

And it wasn’t just about what we said, it was how we held space for each other. There were moments of communal care: a spontaneous chair massage under a pergola, a friend gently smoothing shea butter onto your arms, the comforting ritual of shared pampering as the sun dipped low.

 

 

Portugal with Purpose: Behind the Devine Rituals

Scent to Memory – As the golden afternoon light poured into the open-air lounge, each muse experienced Mirage Parfum Oil. This isn't just a sneak peek into our new parfum, but rather an invitation to new memories. With a guided breath, we invited them to anchor their scent to that moment of stillness. Every time they apply the oil back home, we hope they're transported, to this moment of the laughter, the air, and the ease. Our sense of smell is one of the most powerful tools in recalling memory, and this ritual was our way of helping them bottle this experience.

Trust in Touch – Using the new Sknmuse Body Brush, each muse began with long, sweeping motions to stimulate and soften the skin. Throughout the villa they applied Devine Shimmer Body Oil, often times assisting each other, letting its golden glow catch the light while massaging it in with care. The act wasn’t about polish, it was about presence. There was a sacredness in letting someone else anoint you, a gentleness that turned a beauty routine into a moment of connection.

Let this summer be your season of soft. Whether you joined us in Portugal or followed along from afar, we’re inviting you to sink deeper into the rituals that made the journey so special.
