Why use natural massage oils?

The skin, an organ in its own right, is both a protective envelope and a place of exchange, reacting sensitively to the most varied influences. Our skin is also the seat of our sense of touch. Its millions of nerve endings, with their sensitivity to pressure, cold or heat, pain... give us all the richness of the outside world.

Oil massage is a time-honoured beauty ritual. Popularized in the West during Antiquity, it has the power to relax body and mind. For a successful massage, you need the right massage oil. Sensual, relaxing or simply to get rid of orange peel skin, every massage needs to be combined with the effectiveness of an oil. Let yourself be transported by the warmth of the oils and their intoxicating notes for a moment of maximum relaxation and zenitude.

It's possible to blend several oils to form the base of your massage oil. Massage oils contain not only essential oils, but also one or more high-quality natural vegetable oils to serve as a base for your preparation. Massage not only releases tension, but can also tone muscles and stimulate the blood and lymphatic circulatory system. It promotes metabolic exchange, acting on the cellular system; it transmits energy through the masseur's magnetism. It also has an impact on the mind, rebalancing the psychic and the physical. Emotional blockages can have repercussions on the body, causing muscular tension.

Massage stimulates circulation, tones muscles and releases tension. It is beneficial from the top of the skull to the toes of the feet. As well as providing a sense of well-being, it also encourages those all-important moments of relaxation, listening and contact. All that remains is to choose the massage oil that will make this moment a successful sensory experience.

What role do massage oils play on the skin?

The use of oils in massage is not just about making it easier for the hands to glide over the skin. Massage oils provide specific benefits:

Skin hydration and nutrition: vegetable oils are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants that nourish and protect the skin.
Vector of Therapeutic Actives: Essential oils, diluted in vegetable oils, penetrate the skin and exert targeted therapeutic effects (anti-inflammatory, relaxing, toning, etc.).
Improved skin elasticity: Oils help maintain skin suppleness, preventing the appearance of stretch marks and improving the appearance of orange peel skin.

Which vegetable oil to choose for an effective massage?

The choice of vegetable oil depends on specific needs and skin type:

Sweet Almond Oil: Highly appreciated for its light texture and rich vitamin E content, it is suitable for sensitive and dry skin, including children's. It has nourishing and soothing properties.
Jojoba Oil: Its composition is close to that of human sebum, making it ideal for regulating oily or combination skin. It penetrates easily without leaving a greasy film.
Macadamia oil: Rich in palmitoleic acid, it is regenerating and softening. Its toning power makes it an ideal ally for stimulating lymphatic circulation.
Apricot Kernel Oil: Revitalizing and toning, it restores radiance to dull, tired skin.
Argan Oil: With its antioxidant and firming properties, it is ideal for anti-aging massages.

Which essential oils should be included in a massage treatment?

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts with powerful therapeutic properties. When incorporated into massage oils, they enhance the effects of the massage:

Dosage and dilution: Essential oils should be diluted between 1% and 5% in a vegetable oil for safe application to the skin. This corresponds to approximately 20 to 100 drops of essential oil per 100 ml of vegetable oil.
Selection according to desired effects
- Relaxation: True lavender, Roman chamomile, ylang-ylang.
- Toning: Rosemary cineole, peppermint, eucalyptus globulus.
- Muscle relief: Wintergreen, Italian helichrysum, ginger.
- Circulatory stimulation: Cypress de Provence, Atlas cedar, juniper.
Cautions: Some essential oils are dermocaustic or allergenic. It is essential to carry out a skin test before use, and to observe any contraindications (pregnancy, breast-feeding, children, allergies).

Which massage technique is most effective?

Massage can be adapted to suit your needs:

Relaxing massage: Slow, enveloping movements to soothe the nervous system.
Toning massage: Deeper pressure and stimulating movements to activate circulation and energy.
Draining massage: Gentle maneuvers towards the heart to promote lymphatic drainage.
Therapeutic massage: Specific techniques to relieve pain or localized muscular tension.

The effectiveness of the massage depends on the quality of the movements, the appropriate pressure, and listening to the body of the person being massaged.
