How to Make Massage Therapy Lotion Recipes

Home massage is a great way to relieve stress and increase intimacy with your partner. It can be used as a homeopathic treatment for sore muscles or injury, for a relaxing wind-down after a hard day's work, to alleviate dry skin, or for a bit of sensual foreplay to spice up your sex life. There are plenty of massage lotions on the market, but you can save money and customize your scent by using a home recipe to make the massage therapy lotion yourself.

Things You'll Need

• 1-2 tablespoons beeswax
• 3/4 cup light vegetable oil
• 1/8 teaspoon vitamin E oil
• 1/4 teaspoon distilled water
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon fragrance oil
• Plastic or glass dispensing bottle

Instructions

1. Place the beeswax in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the wax at high for 30 seconds.

2. Add the vitamin E oil and the vegetable oil to the melted wax and stir until well combined. You may have to reheat the oil occasionally to keep the wax liquid while you blend.

3. Mix the baking soda and water in a separate bowl. Put the mixture in a small pot and heat on the stove until boiling. Take the boiling mixture off the stove.

4. Put the baking soda/water mixture and the beeswax/oil mixture into a single bowl. With a hand mixer or whisk, blend everything together. The mixture will thicken when it cools.

5. After it cools a bit, add the fragrance oil and mix well.

6. Pour the mixture into your dispenser. Let it cool to room temperature before using.
