model_body1.jpgToday treat yourself to a massage, yes a wonderful massage. Go to your local spa or better yet, grab a partner and give each other massages with your own homemade massage oil. This recipe is extraordinarily simple to make, it smells wonderful and is especially nourishing for your skin!

Combine:

Rose Water (50%)
Olive Oil (50%)
add a few drops of glycerin to this mixture

Rose Water stimulates the flow in the minute blood vessels under the skin and helps to rehabilitate capillaries. This means that any skin imperfections you have such as scars, sunburn, aging and varicose veins will benefit and begin to heal. Make sure that you buy high quality organic rose water that is steam distilled.

Olive Oil is deeply moisturizing and high in vitamin A and E making it a wonderful oil for a massage. The glycerin acts as a humectant attracting moisture to your skin.

This particular massage oil recipe is meant to be used immediately and not to be stored, as it will lose it’s scent.
