Citrus Bliss Homemade Massage Oil

15 drops Palmarosa essential oil

2 drops Ylang Ylang essential oil

1/4 cup (60ml) carrier oil of your choice such as apricot kernel oil or jojoba oil

Buy Supplies

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a dark glass or PET plastic bottle. (I recommend using one with an oil or lotion dispenser cap so you don't accidentally pour it all over everything with the joy of getting a massage.)

Wait at least 24 hours after blending to let the massage oil 'cure'. Remember to keep the bottle in a cool, dark place. Use within three months.

If you want to make a larger amount of this homemade massage recipe, depending on the size of the bottle, simply double or triple the recipe. (Remember it tends to go rancid after about three months.)

Caution

Bergamot essential oil can cause photo-sensitivity and sunburn. Do not use before sun exposure.

Another supplier I really like is doTerra. They only supply oils though, not the base ingredients like emulsifying wax or carrier oils.

I switched to doTerra's oils a while ago when I tested them against the other brands in my stockpile. I found I got better results, and I never got headaches or skin irritation, which sometimes happened with other brands.

I was pretty resistant to trying them because their prices are higher than a lot of other brands, but when I saw and felt the difference on my skin, I was won over.

I find that because they're so effective, I can get away with using fewer drops per recipe, which helps even out the cost. So if you want high quality, ultra-effective oils, these guys are for you.

You can buy doTerra's oils at retail prices by clicking the Shop button at the top. Or click Join & Save to become a wholesale customer and get a store-wide 25% discount. Message me if you want more details on the wholesale deal - it's well worth it.


Amazon has epic variety - if you're a browsing kinda person, go nuts! Just remember, you get what you pay for. Please, please don't buy the cheapest oils - I promise you they'll be diluted with synthetic ick you don't want on your skin.
