DIY Massage Oil for Couples is a wonderful way to enhance your intimate moments while creating a relaxing atmosphere at home. Making your own massage oil allows you to customize the blend to suit your preferences, ensuring a perfect balance of relaxation and sensuality.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can craft a soothing, aromatic oil that adds a special touch to your time together.
Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or add a spark to your relationship, a DIY massage oil can make a significant difference. This guide will show you how to create a sensual and relaxing experience at home, perfect for couples seeking to deepen their connection.
Ingredients Needed
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Grapeseed Oil
- Avocado Oil
- Lavender Carrier Oil
- Lemon Carrier Oil (For sensitive skin, use rose carrier oil instead)
- Essential Oils (I use lavender and strawberry essential oils, but you can choose your favorites)
- Optional: Dried Lavender Flowers
Notes on Ingredients
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.
When an essential oil is included, I use either concentrated or diluted essential oils. If using concentrated essential oils, use up to 0.5% by weight to ensure safety for all skin types. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of concentrated essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.
If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.
Tools Needed
- Medium-sized stainless steel cup
- Tablespoon
- Suitable glass bottle to store your DIY Massage Oil for Couples
Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
Steps: DIY Massage Oil for Couples
Making your own DIY massage oil is quick and straightforward. With just a few simple steps, you can blend nourishing carrier oils and essential oils to craft a personalized massage oil. This recipe is designed to be user-friendly, so even if you’re new to DIY projects, you’ll find it quick and enjoyable to put together.
If you want to make a larger quantity than what is indicated below, simply increase all the ingredients proportionately to suit your needs.
Measure and Add Carrier Oils
1- Begin by placing 1 tablespoon of sweet almond oil in a medium-sized stainless steel cup.
2- Next, add 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil to the cup.
3- Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the mixture.
4- Pour in 1 tablespoon of lemon carrier oil. If you have sensitive skin, substitute with rose carrier oil instead.
5- Finally, add 1 tablespoon of lavender carrier oil to complete the blend.
Add Essential Oils
6- For the total quantity of carrier oils, add 30 drops of essential oils. This amount is approximately 2% of the total carrier oils by weight. I use 15 drops of lavender essential oil and 15 drops of strawberry essential oil, but you can choose your favorite essential oils.
Finish the Massage Oil
7- Stir the ingredients thoroughly with the spoon.
8- Optional Step: For added fragrance and a decorative touch, you can insert some dried lavender flowers into the storage bottle.
9- Pour the massage oil into the bottle. Choose a bottle with a cap that can hold the lavender flowers in place when using.
10- Your DIY Massage Oil for Couples is now ready for use!
How to Use
a. Apply: Pour a small amount of the massage oil into your hands and gently warm it by rubbing your palms together.
b. Massage Technique: Start with long, smooth strokes to cover larger areas of the body, such as the back or legs. Use your fingers and thumbs to apply gentle pressure, working in circular motions to relieve tension. For deeper relaxation, focus on areas that feel particularly tight or sore.
c. Adjust Pressure: Use lighter pressure for sensitive areas and firmer pressure for more tense muscles. Communicate with your partner to ensure the pressure is comfortable and effective.
d. Storage: Store the massage oil in a dark glass bottle in a cool, dry place to maintain its potency and shelf life.
e. Enjoy: Incorporate the massage oil into your self-care routine or use it to enhance intimate moments with your partner.
