The right oil keeps movements flowing, nourishes the skin and makes the experience more enjoyable. In this <strong>guide to massage oils<\/strong> we look at the most common carrier oils and tips for choosing.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Carrier Oil?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrier oils are light oils obtained from the seeds, kernels or fruit of plants. They form the base of a massage, and in aromatherapy sessions they are used to dilute concentrated essential oils. At O&#039;SPA Sky, certified products with natural ingredients are used in all treatments and therapies.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Carrier Oils<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Sweet almond oil:<\/strong> The massage classic. Light, easy to spread and softening. A good choice for dry skin. Not suitable for people with nut allergies.<\/li><li><strong>Jojoba oil:<\/strong> Technically a liquid wax, similar to the skin&#039;s own oil. Light with a low tendency to clog pores; often chosen for combination and oily skin.<\/li><li><strong>Grapeseed oil:<\/strong> Very light and quickly absorbed. Not sticky; ideal in hot weather or if you&#039;re going back to work after your massage.<\/li><li><strong>Coconut oil:<\/strong> The fractionated form is liquid and light, giving a slippery glide. Rarely, it can cause a skin reaction in sensitive people.<\/li><li><strong>Sesame oil:<\/strong> Known for its warming character; used in traditional practices, especially in cold weather.<\/li><li><strong>Argan oil:<\/strong> Rich and nourishing; usually blended with other oils.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing by Skin Type<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Dry skin:<\/strong> Sweet almond, argan blends<\/li><li><strong>Oily and acne-prone skin:<\/strong> Jojoba, grapeseed<\/li><li><strong>Sensitive skin:<\/strong> Unscented, simple formulas; test a new oil on a small area<\/li><li><strong>Plans after your massage:<\/strong> Light, fast-absorbing oils<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With Essential Oils<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"\/en\/urun\/aromaterapi-masaji\/\">Aromatherapy Massage<\/a> uses essential oils added in set ratios to a carrier oil. We describe the character of scents such as lavender, eucalyptus and orange in our <a href=\"\/en\/aromaterapi-yaglari-rehberi-hangi-koku-ne-ise-yarar\/\">guide to aromatherapy oils<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allergies and Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a nut allergy, skin sensitivity, eczema, or have reacted to an oil before, always tell your therapist at the start of the session. A suitable, simple alternative will be chosen. If you feel itching or burning during the session, say so immediately.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oil Temperature<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At O&#039;SPA Sky, massage oils are used at a comfortable temperature so they don&#039;t feel cold on the skin. In sessions such as <a href=\"\/en\/urun\/volkanik-sicak-tas-masaji\/\">Volcanic Hot Stone Massage<\/a>, heat is part of the experience.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After the Session<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be pleasant to wait a while for the oil to absorb. If you want to shower straight away, choose lukewarm water; very hot water can dry the skin. If you don&#039;t want an oily feel, you can ask for a lighter oil at the start.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Oils at Home<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to give yourself or your partner a simple massage at home, a plain carrier oil is enough. Don&#039;t apply essential oils undiluted, and seek expert advice during pregnancy or with health conditions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To choose the right oil for your skin together, <a href=\"\/en\/iletisim\/\">contact us<\/a> or <a href=\"\/en\/hizmetlerimiz\/\">browse our services<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almond, jojoba, grapeseed, coconut\u2026 The differences between the carrier oils used in massage, how to choose by skin type and allergy warnings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1770,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1672"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1672\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1678,"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1672\/revisions\/1678"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ospa-sky.com.tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
