Picture this - the stress from the week is finally coming to an en, and you’re looking forward to having a relaxing massage with detoxing massage oils.
"Finding the time for a self-massage at home every other night has transformed my sleep and rest time routine,” says Elizabeth, CEO of Empress Naturals.
This is where massage oils and other therapeutic products come in. You'll be able to fall into the ultimate self-care mindset and unwind from everyday pressures, as well as soothe aches and pains and tired muscles that often creep up during menopause.
Here's the best part about including massage into your nighttime routine - it is as flexible as your schedule. It is simple to incorporate massage into your daily regimen. On days when you genuinely have time for yourself, a full-body treatment is ideal. You can do it after your shower while relaxing or catching up on your favorite show.
On days when you're pressed for time, though, you can massage small sections of your body that feel tired rather than the rest. For instance, for those who spend a lot of their day at the desk, massaging their neck and shoulder muscles is so helpful to release tension! Read on to know which ones are your must-haves for your minimalist nighttime routine.

FIND THE RIGHT BLEND IN MASSAGE OILS
1. Jojoba Oil
Jojoba has so many properties that make it the ideal massage-based oil. It has antimicrobial characteristics, it is not oily, and will not ruin your bed linens. It has been commonly used for full-body massages since it is considered to be helpful for curing back acne. It is easily absorbed by the skin and hence can be reapplied.
Benefits of Jojoba Oil:
-
It restores the skin barrier that has been destroyed by eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, acne, and acute dermatitis. Jojoba oil is high in wax ether and anti-inflammatory qualities, making it ideal for skin care.
-
It has incredible anti-aging properties for massage that will help your body skin retain its hydration and glow from within.
-
Jojoba is a great carrier oil to mix with other essential oils to enhance your massage experience.
Empress Tip: Try mixing it with drops of lavender or ylang ylang and massaging it on your feet every night for a restful and calming massage!
2. Sunflower Oil
Benefits of Sunflower Oil:
-
Sunflower oil improves the appearance of your body skin by boosting its moisture levels.
-
Use sunflower oil to enhance your skin's barrier healing function. As a result, it can have anti-aging properties for your epidermis.
-
Sunflower oil is high in important fatty acids, which help to rejuvenate your epidermis. Regular massaging with this oil will leave your complexion glowing and luminous.
Empress Tip: Sunflower oil can get rancid. A good way to preserve your sunflower oil is to add 1-2 vitamin E pills into the oil and store it in a cool and dry location.
3. Argan Oil
Argan Oil is your best friend for an after-shower or after-bath massage. Argan oil is non-greasy and airy, so it works to immediately soften your epidermis.
Benefits Of Argan Oil:
-
Argan Oil massage enhances the suppleness of your skin. This firms it up and works towards resolving aging symptoms like sagging skin.
-
It moisturizes your face and boosts its hydration levels. It also helps your skin's ability to retain hydration. This can keep your epidermis hydrated and healthy.
-
A deep-tissue massage using argan oil is said to calm sore muscles while also reducing swelling and joint discomfort.
