Massage oil allows your hands to glide over skin without friction. There are plenty of oils and lotions but not all helps for body massage. Some are skin feel greasy and others go rancid quickly and take on an unpleasant smell.

Let’s see differences between the oils which can help you choose the best oil for body massage. We have five oils that are often used by massage therapists.

Fractionated Coconut Oil:

Normal coconut oil is heavy, solid oil but  fractionated coconut oil is a light and non-greasy liquid oil and a good massage oil.

Fractionated coconut oil is usually less expensive than other oils. It washes out of sheets and tends not to stain sheets as many massage oils do.

We should not use this oil on people with coconut allergies.

Jojoba Oil:

This is actually a wax extracted from the seed of the jojoba plant. It doesn’t feel greasy and tends not to stain sheets as easily as true oils. Jojoba is good for people who are suffering with back acne because it is thought to have antibacterial properties. It doesn’t have any odor.

Jojoba oil absorbs quickly. So that combine it with other oils.

Sunflower Oil:

It’s a light oil and non-greasy oil that will leave your skin feeling oily. This oil is rich in linoleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid. Usually these acids are good for healthy skin.

Almond Oil:

Almond oil is one of the most popular massage oils among massage therapists. This oil is slightly oily, which allows therapist hands can glide easily over skin. Almond oil absorbs quickly.

Almond oil is high priced comparatively with other oils. Usually it will not irritate skin but if you hate nuts then avoid this kind of oils also this oil does build up on sheets and tends to stain.

Apricot Kernel Oil:

Apricot is similar texture and color to almond oil, but costs heavy. It’s rich in vitamin E. Like almond oil, apricot kernel oil is absorbed into the skin, so you won’t feel greasy.

Other Massage Oils:

Avocado Oil

Cocoa Butter

Grapeseed Oil

Kukui Nut Oil

Olive Oil

Sesame Oil ( Ayurvedic Oil )

Shea Butter

Wheat Germ Oil

Massage Gels, Creams, and Lotions. Instead of oil, Usually massage therapists are uses massage gels, creams, and lotions.

Body scrub is like a facial to the body. It hydrates your skin also leaving it smooth and soft. Body scrub is usually done with sea salt. Also we can use sugar mixed with some of the massage oils. After the scrub it should be followed by an application like high quality lotion or cream that leaves your skin hydrated. Body scrub is not a massage and it should be performed by people with license to work on skin.

During Body Scrub

During body scrub we should wear a disposable undergarment. Your face is down on a massage table that is covered with a towel. The therapist will start by gently rubbing on your back, the backs of your arms, and the backs of your legs and feet. Once it is done with you back then you turn over and he/she does the other side.

When it is done then you usually step into a shower to rinse off. Make sure you are rinse it thoroughly and do not use shower gel. It’s good to keep the oil on your skin. Once you return from shower then therapist will applies body lotion or oil.

Note:

• We can go for a body scrub along with massage. Go for the body scrub first because it is stimulating, whereas the massage calms you down.
• Some therapists hands are not soft because of that you may have some minor injuries on your body, so try to avoid them or ask for other therapist.
