Dr Taylor's Energising Massage Oil 100ml

Ever since mankind has walked the earth Natural fats and oils have been used for skin, health care and massage. Natural oils cannot be replaced with synrhetic oils extracted from petroleum such as vaseline and paraffin as they are not absorbed by the skin.
Vegetable oils and fats are readily absorbed by the skin and are used to nourish and give energy to the skin and body. Most vegetable oils contain vitamins which are necessary and good for the skin as they often stimulate the skin to function better and increase circulation. Vegetable oils and fats soften the skin and make it pliable, helping it to retain its own moisture more effectively.
Natural Vegetable Oils help the skin to function better and often resolve skin problems caused by irritation from detergents found in shower gels, shampoos and face washes as well as irritants from cosmetics and clothes.

Energising Massage Oil
Dr Taylor's Massage Oils are made from a mixture of sweet almond oil, shea butter and grape seed oil with the addition of organic mood enhancing essential oils. Suitable for all skin types
Base Oils
Sweet Almond Oil
Sweet almond oil is one of the most popular massage oils its extracted from almonds. It is slightly oily, which allows hands to glide easily over skin. Sweet almond oil is absorbed fairly quickly, but not so quickly that you need to keep reapplying it.
Shea Butter
Extracted from the seeds of a tree native to Africa, shea butter is a solid at room temperature. Like cocoa butter, shea butter is heavy and can leave an oily feeling on skin if used on its own for massage. However in Dr Taylor's blend It gives a richness without being heavy or over oily.
Shea contains a natural latex, so people with latex allergies should do a patch test before using it.
Grape Seed Oil
In many respects, grapeseed oil makes a great massage oil. It has little-to-no odor, and it has a smooth, silky texture without being greasy.
Essential Oils
Citrus Lime
This clear smelling citrus oil can help lift depression and lighten your mood when feeling blue. It is used to fight cellulite and to tone the skin in general.
Eucalyptus
this essential oil helps to clear the mind and focus concentration, while reducing swelling in the mucus membranes. It is very valuable in fighting respiratory problems, fighting inflammation and sore muscles, rheumatism, headaches and nervous exhaustion, while boosting wound and ulcer healing and soothing skin eruptions.
Lemon
This clean smelling citrus essential oil is not only good for helping you make decisions and to improve your concentration, but cuts down on acidity in the body - thereby assisting the digestion, as well as with rheumatism, arthritis and gout, while also sorting out cellulite, abscesses, boils, carbuncles and acne.
Lavender
It is with good reason why lavender oil is one of the most favorite essential oils, as it has wonderful qualities and also smells great. It is a calming, relaxing oil, which combats stress and crisis, while the antiseptic properties helps with cold, flu and other ailments. It is excellent for asthma and migraines. Apart from that it supports female health and on the skin it has a healing effect, while preventing scarring and balancing the skin.
