Massage oils for wellness, aroma massage and relaxation

What are massage oils?

Massage oils are oils that are used in massage to create better lubrication. Massage oils are made from a natural base oil such as almond oil or jojoba oil. To this are added small amounts of fragrant essential oils. These provide a pleasant scent or they develop an additional effect on the body in the massage product. There are massage oils for sale that have a relaxing or stimulating effect. During the massage, blood circulation is promoted, muscles are relaxed and well-being sets in.

What are the types of massage oils?

Generally, skin-compatible and nourishing plant oils are used in massage. Oils that are used, for example, after a sauna session or in wellness treatments are also selected according to beneficial fragrances. Lime, citrus and mint have an invigorating, vitalizing effect on body and mind, while mint oil can also stimulate blood circulation in the skin. Gentle floral scents and woody sandalwood can relax. The ingredients can also be chosen according to medical aspects: Arnica is popular for cramped or tense muscles. Massage oils especially for regenerating sports massages penetrate deep into the tissue and can prevent sore muscles. For Ayurvedic massages, sesame oil is often used.

Are all massage oils suitable for dry skin?

Dry skin is not the same as dry skin. To ensure that the massage oil is well tolerated, it can be tried on a small area of skin, for example in the crook of the elbow. It is always important to pay attention to high-quality ingredients. Synthetic fragrances, preservatives and dyes have no place in these oils. If you have very dry skin, you should rather buy neutral vegetable oils.

What must be considered when buying good massage oils?

Massage oils buy therapeutic facilities often in larger quantities. Those who do not use only neutral oils can buy a base oil in a large bottle. Depending on the need, scented aromatic oils can be added in smaller quantities for acute use. In this way, a base oil can be tailored to individual needs. Practical in the daily application are already ready enriched oils, which are used depending on the requirement.
