Dry Oil Massage

Whether you're giving yourself an at-home massage or you work as a massage therapist, massage oil allows your hands to glide over skin without friction. There are plenty of oils and lotions to choose from, but not all measure up. Some can make skin feel greasy while others go rancid quickly and take on an unpleasant smell.

Knowing some of the differences between the oils can help you choose the best oil for the situation. Here are five oils that massage therapists often recommend.

Fractionated Coconut Oil

Although you may think of coconut oil as being a heavy, solid oil, fractionated coconut oil is a light, non-greasy, liquid oil and a good massage oil.

Jojoba Oil

Although jojoba oil is called an oil, it is actually a wax extracted from the seed of the jojoba plant. It doesn't feel greasy and tends not to stain sheets as easily as true oils (with the exception of microfiber sheets).
