3 Refreshing DIY Massage Oil Recipes

Nothing takes a massage from 0 to 60 like a good massage oil! We’ll show you three ways to customize this DIY massage oil.

Shelf Life: 6 months—1 year

Benefits: We chose apricot kernel oil because it’s great for all skin types, absorbs easily into the skin, and has a nice light scent, so it won’t interfere with the scent from our essential oils.

Grapeseed is another light oil that is great for massage.

Tips and Tricks: For tired, achy muscles, check out our sore muscle balm.

Variations: You can also infuse your oil with herbs and flowers.
