11 Best Body Massage Oils 2023 for Soothing At-Home Treatment – Allure

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you still can’t find a gift for your loved one (or even yourself), why not treat them to a nice massage? You also won’t have to spend a large chunk of your salary on a five-star spa or an expensive massage therapist, as you can become a massage master at home by grabbing one of the best massage oils for the body around.

These oils are essential for a sensual, friction-free massage and are packed with skin-nourishing ingredients like moisturizing jojoba oil and antioxidants like vitamin E. That being said, we know that massages can turn into foreplay, so New Jersey-based board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist Maria Sophocles, MD, says to be wary of those oils in your lower region. “Some sensual massage oils may smell wonderful but may contain ingredients that irritate delicate genital tissue,” she says. For vaginal sex and anal penetration, Dr. Sophocles suggests replacing body oil with a water- or silicone-based lubricant when wandering hands reach or surround your genitals. One thing to note is that there are a few options that double as a massage oil. And lubricant, so you can have the best of both worlds.
