Treat your girlfriend to a session of home wellness

Surprise and pamper your lover with home wellness

Massage has been used for millennia to treat pain, tension, swelling and muscle damage. Massage has a relaxing and stretching effect on the muscles. Likewise, massage can be used to calm the senses and as a declaration of love in the form of pampering to a partner. Massage is the epitome of pampering, and by incorporating CBD oil as an element in your massage oil, you can take it to the next level.

Combine essential oils with the CBD oil

Essential oils are not just a nice scent. Essential oils can also have several positive effects on the skin and have a relaxing, healing and calming effect on the body and soul. Some of the most popular essential oils include:

• Lavender, is considered to be one of the most useful essential oils for therapeutic purposes. Lavender has antiseptic and analgesic properties that can relieve the pain of a burn or prevent infection.

• Rose oil, is known to have a wide range of antidepressant properties and can help relieve stress, anxiety, nervous tension and can help with headaches too.

• Geranium oil has a fantastic beneficial effect for oxygenating the facial skin. Geranium oil is effective for oily and dry skin, as the oil balances the production of sebum in the skin. Other essential oils that both add a good scent, but also have beneficial effects include Orange blossom, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang and Lemongrass.

Choose the right carrier oil

The choice of the right carrier oil also largely depends on your body's skin type. Below we will come up with our recommendation for a good carrier oil to use in a CBD massage oil.

A carrier oil is a vegetable oil extracted from plants, usually from seeds, kernels or nuts. Some carrier oils are odorless, but generally most have a slightly sweet, nutty aroma.

Grape seed oil has a light and thin consistency and is therefore good for massage. The oil leaves a light, shiny layer over the skin and is very moisturizing. The oil is good for normal and oily skin, which is why it is good for face care and body mixes. However, many grapeseed oils are extracted using chemicals, so pay attention to the ingredients list and make sure the oil is cold pressed.

Almond oil is slightly thicker than grape seed oil. However, the oil is quickly absorbed by the skin, leaving it with a hint of an oily surface. The oil is rich in vitamins E and therefore super good in your skin care, regardless of whether we are talking about normal, dry, irritated, oily or aged skin. Almond oil is a super good all-round carrier oil.

Jojoba oil is probably the carrier oil that is most easily absorbed by the skin, as the oil resembles the body's natural oils. It is especially good for dry skin, babies and delicate skin and has a long shelf life of at least a year.

Fractionated coconut oil is the coconut oil that is always liquid at room temperature. It doesn't really smell of anything, has a long shelf life, is not greasy on the skin and is absorbed relatively easily so that the skin is left moisturized and almost silky - however, it works best on normal skin. The oil has a high content of fatty acids. Other oils that can also be used can be olive oil (however, it has a very thick consistency and leaves the skin greasy, which can be an advantage for dry skin), coconut oil (also leaves the skin greasy, and due to the large molecules in the coconut oil can block pores and thus have difficulty penetrating), Cocoa butter (Preferably melted and mixed with other carrier oils. But it has a good effect on your skin and elasticity), Shea butter (Pretty okay carrier oil too). If you choose to use coconut oil, cocoa butter or shea butter, which must be melted before use, make sure to heat it gently, and make sure not to add the CBD oil if the carrier oil is over 40 degrees hot, otherwise you will reduce the potency of the CBD oil.
