which oil is good for body massage - #36641
I am dealing with some serious muscle tension and aches lately, especially after starting a new workout routine. I've been reading about different kinds of oils and wondering: which oil is good for body massage? Last week, I tried coconut oil just because it sounded nice, but honestly, it didn’t do much for me. I was hoping it would help with all the soreness but it felt kinda greasy, and I didn’t really think it penetrated the skin well. I’ve also heard about sesame oil, but I’m not sure if that’s better or worse for someone with sensitive skin like mine. My friend swears by sweet almond oil and says it’s magic for relaxation, but I get nervous trying new things, especially with my skin being so picky. One thing I notice is that, depending on the oil, some seem to bring a lot more relief than others. Then I come across other recommendations like mustard oil but that sounds kinda intense? If I start using an oil for massage, will it make a big diff in recovery or is it just more of a luxury kinda thing? Just looking for some solid advice on what could work best for muscle relief. Any thoughts on which oil is good for body massage that can help?
