Experience the Best Massage in London with Exotic Oils

by Katy Wilson An Enthusiastic Content Writer
If you are visiting or live in London, one thing you shouldn’t miss in this truly global city is its world-class massage parlours and spa salons. As a pre-spa preparation and to experience the best day spa London, you must know what kind of oils are best for your skin. Below is a guide for four major skin types with recommended oils and those which should be avoided. Read ahead to discover which spa massage oils promise more health and wellness benefits…

1. Skin Type: Normal

Perhaps the luckiest and the most hard to find skin type. There aren’t major problems with this skin type and chances of getting acne and skin flaking are rare. Most of the commonly used spa massage oils are suitable for people with type of skin. This includes:

- Cocoa Butter: This is a great moisturizer and gets easily absorbed in your skin. It also shields from many external toxins
- Evening Primrose: This oil can’t be used on its own, but when mixed with other oils, it is excellent oil for rejuvenating skin cells. A high recommended oil for aging skin.
- Sweet Almond Oil: It is a rich source of Vitamin D. But do not use it if you are allergic to nuts. A small patch test on your elbow can help. A nourishing oil used for deep, thorough spa massages
- Grapeseed Oil: This is a perfect alternative to almond oil for individuals allergic to nuts. It contains vitamin E, a nutrient that is very beneficial for skin. 

2. Skin Type: Oily

You have this skin type if you are prone to breakouts, mainly on cheeks, nose and forehead. One clear sign of this type of skin is when you place a tissue over your skin and gently press it, you will find traces of oil soaked along the fibre. When visiting any place claiming to offer the best massage London offers, ask them about the choice of oils for oily skin.

- Apricot Kernel Oil: This is again an almond oil alternative to those with nut allergy. Enriched with vitamin E, it easily rehydrates the skin and gets absorbed rather quickly 
- Jojoba Oil: This oil has properties which are very close to natural moisturizers of the body, so it helps the skin to heal naturally. Highly recommended if you have scar tissue
- Wheat Germ Oil: This massage oil is slightly heavy and takes comprehensive massaging to seep deep into the tissues. It is normally blended with lighter oils. It is rich in Vitamin E and is very beneficial for healing scar tissue.
- Oils to avoid: Grapeseed Oil, Mineral Oil and Olive Oil

3. Skin Type: Dry

Dry skin is a common situation for many during winters but for some it is a lifelong condition—flaky skin can be a huge problem as it is susceptible to repeated inflammations too. If you feel skin tightening, mainly after bathing or have flaky patches with itching or deep cracks that bleed, it is best to try one of the following massage oils.

- Avocado Oil: It is a heavy oil but when mixed with a light carrier oil, it works out to be an excellent option for rehydrating the skin. It is power packed with skin nutrients and is great for repairing the damaged skin.
- Calendula Oil: It is a must for split or severely chapped skin. Very beneficial for inflammation as well.
- Olive Oil: This greasy and heavy oil penetrates deep into the skin and rehydrates well. Recommended by many spa places in London as a means to promote better circulation in the body and free clogged skin pores
- Oil to avoid: Mineral Oil

4. Skin Type: Sensitive

This skin type is prone to itching, redness and stinging. Always do patch test before trying any oil.

- Apricot Kernel Oil: This full of vitamin E oil is completely non-irritating and soothe the skin suffering from inflammations.
- Calendula Oil: This is one of the best oils for healing skin irritation - a great choice for individuals with sensitive skin
- Sesame Oil: This anti-bacterial oil is rich in antioxidants. The oil nourishes from deep inside and promotes soft, supple skin
- Soy Oil: This virtually odourless oil is packed with anti-oxidants and is extremely good for skin health. This can serve as an excellent alternative for those who can’t use almond oil due to their nut allergy.
Oils to avoid: Cocoa Butter, Fractionated Coconut Oil and Mineral Oil
