Elevate Your Couples Massage Immediately With These Necessities

My partner and I are both big fans of Le Labo and live around the corner from one of the brand’s locations. When we discovered the massage and bath perfuming oil that’s a 2 in 1 for our bath and massaging evenings, we were sold. “Enriched with vitamin E and jojoba, this paraben-free and extra dry oil perfumes, softens and smoothes your skin,” the brand explains. Le Labo’s site also flaunts that “It has also been shown to significantly improve your love life ;).” No joke! The ingredient Jojoba is known to enhance the sensual experience, and the smell is as intoxicating as the experience of using it.

Maudes’ candle is a great alternative to a traditional oil. Massage candles were new to us but made for a fun experience. You light the candle for 10 to 15 minutes to ensure enough of the oil is formed to use. While I was worried about the heat (I’m super sensitive), because this candle is oil-based, it’s set to a much lower burning temperature. We opted not to begin throwing wax directly on each other, but instead took small bouts with our fingers and massaged from there. The texture is richer than a typical oil. Plus, the scents had a number of layers:

no. 0: Unscented

no. 1: Warming notes of amber, cedar leaf, clove, lemongrass, medjool date, and tonka bean

no. 2: Bright notes of pink pepper, gurjun balsam, lemon California, and cedarwood Virginia

no. 3: Fresh notes of eucalyptus, sandalwood, cassis, and Haitian vetiver

This is a rejuvenating and energizing option. The Skin Discipline Swedish Massage Oil is nourishing and energizing with Arctic Lingonberry seed extract. All of Ron Dorff products have a super brief listing of ingredients because the brand prides itself on being free of parabens, and each of the mineral oils are enriched with active botanical ingredients harvested north of the Arctic circle. If you want to keep things simple, this is a great massage oil option.

Sometimes I need a little extra help relaxing in the evening hours and disconnecting from work. While I mentioned sometimes a bath can do the trick, it doesn’t always. I find myself continuing to have racing thoughts and need something extra to soothe my mind. Throwing on a meditation for my partner and I both to enjoy to help us check out and pairing it with ChillHouses’ Have A Chill Night Body Oil is my perfect remedy. It helps soothe and calm your skin while promoting oxygen and blood flow. The unique makeup of ingredients including Blue Tansy, Calendula Officinalis, Vitamins F & E and almond oil will help you maximize your rest.

Tata Harper’s Revitalizing Body Oil was not necessarily made for a couples massage evening, but it will leave you with so much more than happy muscles. For those looking to give their skin an extra umph whilst receiving an incredible massage, opt for this body oil. It’s packed with “time rewinding vitamins and nutrients to give you soft and youthful-looking skin.” While it is fast absorbing, you can still enjoy a massage and benefit from the lasting effects. It’ll leave your skin feeling softer, smoother and overwhelmingly moisturized.

We don’t just love the brand’s revitalizing body oil, but we dream about its sculpting body stone, too. This will elevate your couples massage evening to the next level and feel like you are bringing the spa home with you. It helps ease tension, promotes lymphatic draining and even allegedly tones your body for a sculpted look. It is made from 100% Fencheng Jade, and the best part is that you can warm it up for your steamy massage.

A category of massage oils I did not know existed until recently was edible massage oils. C60 or Carbon 60 was founded by scientist Ken Swartz. He discovered C60 and it is “the single-most powerful antioxidant ever discovered—a naturally occurring molecule that may be the most amazing chemistry discovery of the century.” While I imagined edible massage oils would taste like cotton candy or vanilla frosting, this is something a lot more natural! The C60 Edible Massage oil is unscented but made with organic avocado oil and 99.99% pure, sublimated Carbon 60.

The last of our list is another edible alternative, with flavors that may entice a wider audience! Living libations’ body butters pack a punch. It infuses skin with a sense of silkiness that is unparalleled. It easily slides all over your body in the way you’d want a massage oil to tackle! And the best part? The delicious flavors. Livingearthbeauty invites you to “melt into your pleasurable paradise” with options ranging from vanilla-cinnamon-coconut-cacao, peppermint-vanilla-grapefruit or my favorite, the Languid Love Butter with essences of ylang, jasmine, vanilla, nutmeg, schizandra, ginger & lemon blended into coconut crème, jojoba & cacao butter.
