Let's learn about essential oil massage.
Should I wash off my face after massage with essential oil? Essential oil can't wash off your face after massage. Because the general facial massage essential oil can be absorbed, as long as the facial skin is not particularly oily after the essential oil massage, there is no need to clean it. Just gently wipe it with oil-absorbing paper or facial tissue to absorb excess oil on your face. However, if a large amount of essential oil floats on the skin surface without being absorbed after massaging the face, it still needs to be cleaned to avoid increasing the burden on the face skin and blocking pores. Facial essential oil massage is not recommended to be done every day, and once a week 1-2 times is enough.
Should the essential oil be washed off after massage? Essential oils can be massaged without washing off. It is generally not recommended to wash immediately after massage, because the essential oil left on the skin surface after massage can continue to play its role in the next 6 hours, so if it is necessary to wash it off, it is recommended to wash it after 6 hours. However, if the skin surface of the body is particularly oily after massage and the essential oil is not absorbed at all, it can be cleaned after the essential oil massages the body.
Skin sensitivity test must be carried out before essential oil massage, that is, take a small drop of essential oil, smear it on the sensitive part behind the ear or inside the arm, and wash it off after 24 hours. If the skin turns red and hot within 24 hours, it is allergic to this essential oil and is not recommended.
