Many of us enjoy the restorative
benefits of massage and massage oil. But most of
us are not so concerned about skin types prior to having a massage session. Our
skin is one of the most important aspects of our physical well-being. There are
normally five skin types, namely; dry, normal, oily, sensitive, and a
combination of each type. When choosing massage oil
either for your own use, for your loved ones or even for your clients, it is
important to choose the oil that would not only benefit relaxation but also
gift them the best skincare they can have. Today we will focus on the oils that
alleviate dry skin. Dry skin is prone to sensitivity due to low supply of
lubrication from oil glands. It has parched look and has poor retention of
moisture. Chapping and cracking are the most severe types of dry skin. Lines
are easily formed and skin looks dull. Dry skin is due to either genetic
condition, an indication of a much greater health problem, or lack of
nourishment. Below are the most helpful
lists of massage oil that will suit your
client’s dry skin.
Avocado oil
This is heavy aceite de masaje or massage oil is extracted from the fatty content to
avocado fruit. It is deep penetrating oil rich in Vitamin A, D, E, lecithin and
other unsaturated fatty acids that are very essential for dry skin. It helps
skin moisturized and adds protection from the searing heat of the sun. This
type of oil is easily absorbed by the skin. Along with its other emollient
properties, this oil is best for people suffering with eczema and psoriasis.
Olive oil
Olive massage oils are among the
best oil that nourishes the skin. It warms easily, light, and offers an easy
glide to the skin creating less friction and helps alleviates soreness. It is
rich in vitamins essential for skin care and prevents free radicals that may
potentially damaged skin.
Sweet almond oil
Sweet almond massage oil is best for massage recipients having
problems with sensitive skin. It is full of vitamin D which is good for the
skin. But if you happen to have nut allergy, this hydrating variant of oil is
not good for you. You may use apricot kernel oil as an alternative medium for
massage.
Evening primrose oil
This aceite de masaje or massage oil should not be
used on its own; it needs to be added with additional oil variant to avoid high
concentration and possible irritation. This classical variant helps treat
damaged skin and other skin disorders. It has an anti-aging property that helps
avoid further wrinkling of your skin or what they usually call premature aging.
