FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is massage oil?

Oil is a common lubricant used in massage treatments that require a great deal of glide. These oils can be derived from seeds, nuts, plants and grain. Because of its thin consistency and slow absorption rate, this lubricant maximizes workability and pairs perfectly with longer treatments. To create a custom experience for your clients, mix with the essential oil of your choice.

When should I choose massage oil rather than lotion, cream, or gel?

Massage oils are best for these modalities: Swedish Massage, Maternity Massage, Aromatherapy Massage, Multi-Therapy Massage, Hot and Cold Stone Massage and Reflexology.

How do I remove oil stains?

Massage table linens are regularly doused with oils and lotions. Simply tossing them into the wash with other linens won’t be adequate...some sort of degreaser must be used. Experts suggest soaking sheets in dish soap or a citrus-based degreaser prior to laundering to successfully remove oil and lotion stains. Follow this step with a thorough wash in massage linen detergent. For best results, clean all linens within 24 hours of use.

Are massage oils messy?

The short answer is ‘yes.’ But like anything else, with proper preparation, you can minimize the mess and still use this highly regarded lubricant. Wearing a massage holster with refillable pump bottles brings the product closer to both you and your client and minimizes dripping. Remember...less is more. A small amount of oil goes a long way; using a small refillable pump bottle will let you control the amount of product you dispense. Simply spread the oil in your hands rather than directly to the client’s skin to avoid overuse. Have older towels nearby in case of a spill or overpour. And lastly be prepared to provide your client with either cloths or towels to further clean up after the service. A conveniently placed hamper or trash can will ensure the proper disposal of any messy materials.

GUIDE TO THE BEST MASSAGE OILS

The Art of Massage Therapy

Few things in life combine both pleasure and therapeutic benefits like an aromatic body oil massage. It provides deep relaxation, better circulation, stress reduction, and improved sleep cycles. A hot oil massage also relieves tight muscles, soothes joint pain, reinforces your nervous system, and promotes good posture.

Because massage oil has a longer glide than lotions or creams and dissolves into the skin at a slower rate, oils are most often chosen when the modality requires more working time with less frequent application. Common modalities include Swedish massage, hot stone massage, reflexology, and any other style that involves long, gliding strokes. Aromatherapy massage typically utilizes a carrier oil that serves as the base to create a variety of custom aromatic experiences by simply adding the essential oil (or oils) of your choice.

COMMON TYPES OF MASSAGE OIL & THEIR BENEFITS

There is a vast selection of massage oils on the market with a range of features including scented and unscented formulas, added essential vitamins proven to support skin health, and other unique variations that help to set each product apart. But, regardless of which you choose, the best massage oils will possess the following qualities:

Low density and viscosity
Absorbency and perfect moisture level
Slow drying properties
Pleasant odor
No side effects
