How to Start a Sensuous Massage

To begin a truly relaxing and sensual massage one should set the mood. Unplug the phone, and light some candles. My personal recommendation is a  fragrant massage moisturizing candle (these can be used as a massage oil substitute and moisturizer as well). Make sure your room is warm and be sure to set up your massage workspace well in advance by covering your mattress with towels so that the massage oil doesn't stain or damage  your sheets. Remember that even natural oil can destroy latex so be careful of any accessories or personal items that may be laying around.

My personal experience is that the best massage begins with the feet. Keeping the feet soft using a healthy natural  lotion or foot balm keeps the skin moist and absorbent and ready to accept the benefits of a good massage oil. But my experience has been that all the stress points terminate in the feet and toes and a good massage therapist can relax the entire body just by hitting pressure points near the toes and on the bottoms of your feet. Once the body is fully relaxed a good massage oil can do wonders for the entire in-body experience. Of course we recommend our exclusive blend for many different reasons.  

Clavé Massage Oil:  Massageoil300z

 This oil is specially formulated to be the most sensuous in-body experience. It contains all natural plant oils, essential oils from aromatic herbs and plants, Vitamin E and plant extract. Available in 4 oz. bottles. 

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil is obtained from the kernel of the plant. This oil has been traditionally used by massage therapists to lubricate and soften the skin during a massage session, being considered by many to be an effective emollient. It is a mild, light weighted oil, rich in unsaturated fats and essential fatty acids which is easily absorbed into the skin. 

We also add sunflower oil to make this massage oil an excellent product for any type of skin. Sunflower oil is light, non-greasy oil that won’t leave skin feeling oily. It is rich in essential fatty acids linoleic acid as well as palmitic acid and stearic acid, all components of healthy skin.

This all natural massage oil not only can be used in massage therapy but it is an excellent product for aromatherapy massage by virtue of its pure essential oils.

Chamomile essential oil and lavender essential oil are both proven to have calming effect properties and  rosemary extract is good for energizing while tea tree oil with its decongestant properties make this oil unique and excellent for individual and spa use alike.  Other natural ingredients added to make this product unique in its rank are;
Soya bean oil – it is good base oil for skin and hair care products with its moisturizing and smoothing properties.
Rose geranium oil is used to create balance between oily and dry skin, keeping the skin supple and for clearing congested skin. It is also one of the oils chosen for its aphrodisiac qualities
Vitamin E (tocopheral) helps to prevent cell damage and improve moisture levels and promote skin elasticity.
