Friday Favourites - Massage Oils

As much as we love our work here at The Amazing Blog, we often can’t wait for a super relaxing weekend. We believe that the key to tranquility is in a really fantastic massage, so we’ve compiled a list of our favourite massage oils, for those of you who are feeling a little tense.

First on our list is Absolute Aromas’ Mobility Massage Oil. Made with 100% natural ingredients, everything from their range is developed by a team of dedicated experts, so you know you’re in good hands.  As the name suggests, the oil is great for relieving aches and pains in joints and muscles, making it the perfect choice for those that suffer with mobility issues. This oil glides easily on the skin, whilst using a combination of essential oils to promote health and wellbeing naturally. You can purchase it oil here, for just £8.26. This relaxation remedy is a bargain.

Another of our firm favourites is the Rituals Body Oil. Not only do we love the design and the convenience of the packaging, but also how soft and smooth our skin feels after use. This super nourishing oil is ideal for dry skin, as it absorbs so easily, leaving flaky patches feeling soft, supple and hydrated. Enjoy a moment of relaxation here for £13.50.

Mashooq Massage Oils are also a wonderful treat for those of us feeling stressed. Aptly named Relax and Calm, these two oils have such a calming fragrance of Frankincense, Lavender and Neroli which, when combined with the Sweet Almond Oil, also leave your skin feeling smooth and smelling fresh for the entire day. Apart from smelling incredible, and giving us that dose of relaxation that we oh so crave, the oils are super affordable at just £4.30, so you don’t have to stress about the price either. You can purchase them here.

If you aren’t relaxed enough already, Balance Me offer an award-winning Super Toning Body Oil. As well as hydrating, the oil improves circulation with a unique blend of active ingredients such as Juniper, Bergamot, Geranium and Lavender. This oil allows you to smooth away any imperfections, giving your skin an even and flawless finish. The oil sinks into the skin very quickly and doesn't leave any residue and it smells wonderful! Treat yourself to the Balance Me Oil here for £20. It's well worth it as it will last you forever!

With all of these amazing oils to choose from, you can finally combat that stress. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a massage or two this weekend with the help of these gems.

Mashooq Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment

I've never been too fussy about my haircare routine, I would use any shampoo and conditioner that did the job and left my hair shiny. However, my hair has grown quite a lot in the past few months and the ends have been feeling (and looking...) very dry - my hair's overall appearance was very dull and boring. I've tried intensive repair masks which have left my hair glossy and nourished just after washing it and feeling even drier and heavy the next day. At The Amazing Blog we came across the skin and hair brand Mashooq and decided to give their Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment a try - I've come to the conclusion that you don't know what a deeply nourished and silky hair is until you apply a quality hair oil to it. Mashooq products are the result of an exquisite blend of natural oils including coconut, olive, palm, whet germ, almond and sunflower which are full of vitamins and minerals to nourish and protect the hair and skin. Mashooq Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment can be used on two different ways: it can be used as a soak for 10 to 20 minutes before shampooing to strengthen the hair and adding a gorgeous shine - just wrap the oiled hair in a hot towel or cover it with a shower cap while soaking in the bath. You can also apply the Penetrating Oil Treatment before harsh treatments such as bleaching, colouring, perming or relaxing to protect the hair from damage. My favourite my way to use this oil is applying it before going to bed, leaving it in the whole night and shampooing as you would the next morning.

We also had the chance to try their Moisturising Hair Serum, that applied to dry hair gets rid of the frizziness and adds nice sheen. The packaging of the Mashooq products is convenieny, ideal for travelling and easy to store too.

You can purchase Mashooq Penetrating Oil Treatment in different sizes (100 ml, 250 ml and 500ml) for £7.99, £13.99 and £21.00 from their website and from Amazon.
