Things You'll Need:

• A desire to learn tips about how to choose massage oil.

1. Pick a massage oil in a fragrance that both of you like. You might want to veer away from fragrances that are too sweet and flowery, unless that is what you both enjoy. If a massage oil smells too strong and too much like perfume, this can actually be kind of unpleasant. Choose light, subtle scents when selecting your massage oil, instead of heavy, overpowering scents.

2. Consider choosing massage oils that have at least some lavender in them, as lavender is not only a pleasant and subtle fragrance, it is also very soothing and relaxing. (This is why so many people bathe using lavender soaps and use lavender as part of their aromatherapy routines.)

3. Remember that when you give your partner a massage with massage oil, it is not only a sensual experience, but a deeply relaxing one, and it can also be quite healing on a spiritual level, so understand that a massage with massage oil can actually serve multiple purposes in both of your lives.

4. If you are seeking organic massage oil or all natural massage oil, you might want to purchase your massage oil from a company like Sunsign Oils, based in California. Sunsign Oils has been in business for a couple of decades, and they specialize in manufacturing all natural massage oils and other organic products.

Tips & Warnings

• Before actually giving your partner the massage with massage oil, be sure to put down a plastic or vinyl lining on the bed (or on whichever surface you are using to give your partner a massage) so that you don’t the get massage oil everywhere. It can be pretty messy and greasy and you don’t want your massage oil to stain or damage your bedding in any way.
