When performing a Swedish massage, essential oils are not only used to facilitate movement. Essential oils have the advantage of being rich in vitamins, trace elements and minerals. Each oil is specific, it is therefore necessary to choose the one that is best suited to the need or the situation. The essentials are sweet almond oil which is ideal for sensitive skin. It is even often recommended for baby massages. For oily skin, it is recommended to use grapeseed oil. Very dry or atopy-prone skin will find happiness in particularly rich jojoba or avocado oil. Wheat germ oil is renowned for its moisturizing and conditioning benefits. It is best to opt for oils of organic origin and cold pressed.
