When booking your massage at A Mindful Root, you may be wondering what type of massage oil will be used during your treatment. There are so many options available today as far as your massage oil, all of which offer different benefits. Depending on your current needs, you may want to consider the type of oil that will help you most during your next massage treatment.
Sweet Almond Oil
If you are looking for a massage oil with a lovely sweet scent, sweet almond oil is one of our favorite options. It’s a very light oil that will easily be absorbed into your skin, and it can be used on any skin type. Many individuals use this type of oil to heal scarring or other skin conditions, and you’ll find it leaves your skin glowing and soft following the treatment.
Avocado Oil
For anyone who struggles with dry skin, avocado oil is an excellent option for your next massage. This is one of the thickest massage oil options but will help treat skin conditions and leave your skin looking healthy and glowing. It’s often mixed in with either almond or jojoba oil, which makes it a little easier for the massage therapist to apply. As it is rich in vitamins A and D, it’s ideal for anyone with eczema or dry and flaky patches of skin.
CBD Oil
An oil option that’s being talked about more often today within the massage world is CBD oil. It comes from the hemp plant but doesn’t have any psychoactive properties in the formula. This oil will help both your physical and mental health, which is why it’s become a popular add-on with massages today. It can help to heal scars and dry skin but will also improve your mood and treat insomnia.
Sesame Oil
Sesame oil is an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial oil choice that can help to improve your health and skin. It’s often used within ayurvedic massage treatments and is believed to assist with circulation, bloating, and anxiety. It’s another very thick oil, so it’s often mixed in with a lighter oil, such as almond oil. This oil is also a popular choice for anyone with achy muscles and joints, thanks to its ability to reduce inflammation in the body.
Olive Oil
While you may consider olive oil to be a kitchen staple, it can be a great option for your next massage. Many people use this oil daily as part of their beauty routine, and it can leave you with healthy and glowing skin. On top of that, you’ll find it helps achy muscles, so it’s a good option for anyone who works out regularly. It is quite a greasy oil, so you’ll just want to be careful what you wear or where you sit following your massage.
All of these options are an excellent choice for your next massage and will help to soothe and nourish your skin and body.
