The massage oils used
when massaging not only ensure that hands can glide smoother when on the
skin, but actually can also provide many additional benefits which you may not
expect!
The first oil
which has unexpected benefits is ‘Fractioned Coconut Oil’. This is not
the traditional coconut oil that you may find in many of your foods. This form
of coconut oil has no scent, or smell and will stay in liquid form at any
temperature.
The oil can
be absorbed by the skin very easily and studies have shown that it can serve as
an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant for our bodies.
Secondly, CBD
Oil has definitely rose to fame over the recent years. Some of you may
still be asking why is it so popular.
CBD oil is
also an anti-inflammatory oil; however, this oil is particularly known for its
ability to reduce pain. The oil can release tension and help with recovery in
muscles, with many now relying on the CBD in the oil to ease pains and aches
around the body.
One to not
forget is Jojoba Oil. Many love this oil as it is less greasy, something
which can be annoying for people either when performing or receiving massages.
Additionally, the lack of greasiness will be very beneficial for individuals
who suffer from sensitive or acne-prone skin. Jojoba oil doesn’t block any
pores in your body and provides every benefit that a traditional massaging oil
would, but without the greasiness.
Almond Oil is also a brilliant massage oil to
use, exhibiting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. This oil is found
in many everyday products that we use, from conditioners to lip balms, and can
help individuals feel more relaxed and stress-free.
Even though
Almond oil is greasier than many other oils, it is great for people who suffer
from dry or irritated skin as it soothes and hydrates the skin greatly.
However,
please be cautious when using this oil as of course it contains nuts,
and is not suitable for anyone who has a nut allergy.
As an
alternative to Almond Oil, specifically for those with a nut allergy, Grapeseed
Oil is a brilliant choice.
Grapeseed Oil
is created from the remaining seeds after the wine-making process, where the
oil is extracted to create Grapeseed Oil.
This oil
depicts a silky and soft texture, leaving the skin with a glowing, healthy, and
moisturised look. It is infused with many vitamins, fatty acids and compounds
derived from plants.
Grapeseed Oil
is a very popular choice for babies as it provides essential vitamins for one’s
overall wellbeing and is incredibly moisturising too.
