How To Make Massage Oils

Need to know how to make massage oils without going through a wacky science experiment? This article will provide you with the steps needed to make your own massage oils anytime you want. It's actually a very simple process, and you really don't need many ingredients. The great thing about massage oil is that it's one of the best parts of the massage. Different scents can trigger different feelings and emotions to set a certain mood. Whether you are looking for a soothing massage or a sensual massage, the massage oil is the leading factor. 

Things you will need to make massage oils:

• 8 to 10 drops of the essential oil of your choice
• 6 teaspoons of carrier oil
• Container to store massage oil

1. Decide what type of massage you will be giving. Essential oils are a big part of making massage oils. The aroma of different scents triggers different emotions and feelings. If you want to create a sensual mood try using rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, or patchouli essential oils. If you want more of a calming soothing massage you should try essential oils such as lavender, rosewood, sandalwood, or neroli.
2. Go out and buy ingredients for your massage oils. If you plan on making a few different massage oils, you should go with a prepared list of items you will need. Check out different aroma therapy stores or organic shops for the best essential oil choices. You will also need to stock up on carrier oil. Carrier oil is a more liquid relaxed type of lubricate that is used as the base oil in almost all massage oils. You may also want to stock up on distilled containers to store your massage oils in for later usage.
3. Mix up your massage oils. When you start to mix up your different massage oils, make sure you add 8 to 10 drops of the essential oil in the container first. If you want to use more than one scent, use only 1 to 2 drops per scent. After that, add 6 teaspoons of carrier oil in with the essential oil. Shake the mixture for about 3 minutes to make sure all the ingredients are blended together. Massage oils usually have a shelf life of about a year. And yes, making massage oils is just that easy!
