• Geranium oil benefits: contains geraniol and alpha-Pinene which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and linalool which promotes relaxation.
• Grapeseed oil benefits: contains vitamins E & C, linoleic acid and antioxidants which protect the skin. Grapeseed oil also lightens and evens the tone of the skin and reduces scars. Grapeseed oil is absorbed easily making it an excellent moisturiser without feeling too oily or greasy.

How to use:

• Bath: 

You can rub the oil onto your skin as you relax in the bath. Adding a little oil to the bath water is also a great option to enjoy the aroma of the essential oils for a relaxing experience. 

• Massage: 

• Warm the oil between your hands and apply it to your skin.
• Allow the hands to glide slowly with steady pressure.
• Focus on the muscles, not the bones.
• You can apply the oil using different strokes: 
  • Effleurage: Deep long gliding strokes to warm up the body.
  • Petrissage: Kneading movement by squeezing the muscles between your hands to loosen the muscle tension.
  • Friction: Deep movements with firm pressure to rub the tissues against each other and stimulate circulation. 
  • Tapotement: tapping with the sides of your hands.

• You can use one or more of these techniques and use all four techniques for full body massage.
• You can mix and repeat the strokes for the same region until you will feel the muscles relaxed.
• Circular motion works great around joints but remember not to press on the bones and focus on muscles and tendons.
• Reapply the massage oil as needed in each part of your body to ensure smooth gliding of the hands during the massage session.
• For a more relaxing experience you can use the relaxing massage oil after or during a warm bath with CALM bath salts and a candle.
