Create a romantic atmosphere with massage oil and candles. Massage oil and candles are two little touches that make a big difference when it comes to significantly enhancing intimacy between you and your partner. An erotic massage by candlelight can easily lead to arousal and a night of sensual pleasures.
What is Massage Oil?
Massage oil is specifically formulated to reduce friction during massage, allowing your hands to glide effortlessly over your partner’s skin to massage and soothe away sore muscles and tension.
Massage oils are formulated from plant-based carrier oils; and essential oils, which are highly concentrated oils that offer specific scents and benefits. Massage oil is not necessarily great to use as a lubricant for sex, so we recommend also keeping a water-based lube on hand in case things heat up during your sensual massage.
How to Use Massage Oil
First, create a romantic atmosphere by dimming the lights, lighting the candles, and turning on stimulating music. Then, apply a small amount of oil to your partner’s skin. Use long, flowing massage strokes with varying pressure on their back, shoulders, neck and legs. Communicate clearly with your partner as you massage, to get a sense of what feels best for their body. Physical touch between partners releases oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone,” which can strengthen your emotional bond. Massage can be a slow, sensual act of foreplay, or simply a way to treat tired muscles and make your partner feel loved and pampered.
How to Choose a Massage Oil
Choose a massage oil that will ignite your partner’s senses with subtle fragrances and smooth, skin-nourishing texture.
Natural Ingredients: Choose an oil that’s free from parabens and made with wholesome, nourishing ingredients. Look for ingredients like jojoba, sweet almond, or grapeseed oil; or scented oils like lavender or ylang-ylang. Ask your partner what kinds of scents they prefer.
For Sensitive Skin: You may want to choose an oil that’s gentle and hypoallergenic. Test a small amount of the oil on skin before applying more.
Non Staining: Look for oils that won’t stain your sheets, such as jojoba oil. Or, you could lay a towel or other barrier down between your partner’s body and the sheets.
Sexy Candles
There’s something about lighting candles that sets the stage for pleasure. Let the warm, flickering candlelight illuminate your bodies and the playful aromas light up your senses. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing sexy candles:
Massage Oil Candles: Some candles melt into massage oil as they burn, creating opportunities for temperature play and sensual massage. Pour the warm wax on your partner’s skin and smooth it across their tense muscles for a stimulating experience.
Sultry Scents: Some of the sexiest candle scents might include jasmine, vanilla, sandalwood, and ylang-ylang. These scents are known for their aphrodisiac properties and abilities to stimulate arousal and intimacy.
