Easy homemade massage oil
What is massage oil? Is it the same as body oil?
It depends on the ingredients used. Massage oils and skincare oils are both made with plant oils as a base (hence the name "base oil"), and then essential oils are added and mixed together.
The composition, texture, scent, and function can vary greatly depending on the plant oils and essential oils used. If the blended product is suitable for massage, it will be called massage oil; if it is suitable for daily maintenance, it will be called maintenance oil. It can also have two or more uses at the same time.
Selection of base oil
Base oils vary in texture; some are light and easily absorbed, while others are richer and stay on the skin longer. Some oxidize more easily and should be used up as soon as possible, while others are more stable and can be stored for a longer period.
Choosing essential oils
Essential oils are volatile, fat-soluble liquids extracted from plants, and they typically have a rich and unique aroma. The composition of essential oils can vary considerably between different plants.
Since the oil being applied to the skin is oil, it is important to choose one that is gentle on the skin.
In addition, the amount of essential oil used is also something to pay attention to. For daily skincare, 1% or less is usually enough.
