Creating your own massage oil is a great way to personalize your massage/intimate encounter on Valentine’s Day. Coming up with essential oil blends that pique both of your interests intimately, enhance energy, relieve tension, or relax the senses is a fun activity that helps you learn about one another on a whole different level. Today, I have 6 Valentine’s Day massage oil recipes that are sure to please both you and your partner.
6 Valentine’s Day Massage Oil Recipes
What’s really fun about the essential oils in these blends is you don’t need to limit them to just massage oils. You can put them in your diffuser, in a bubble bath, in a room spray, and so much more! For V-day, I think a sensual massage with your significant other is one of the epitomes of intimacy so I wanted to give you a few options to think over. You can choose which recipes fit your mood, alter them to your liking, and just run with it.
You can use any carrier oil you like for the base of these recipes like sweet almond, avocado, olive oil, etc. Feel free to make larger or smaller quantities to suit your needs! Here’s a helpful blog post on dilutions and conversions to help you keep things safe and comfortable for topical use.
Valentine’s Day Massage Oil for Every Occasion
1. Energizer Blend
Since Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday this year it’s very likely that you and your significant other will both be at work all day. It can be difficult to muster up the energy to dress up, go out to dinner and movie, and be loving and attentive after a long day so this blend is for those who need an extra energy boost. It’s perfect for clarifying the mind and upping your energy levels!

2. Euphoria Blend
The oils in this blend are sensual and enhance intimacy with their intoxicating scent. Even though I am not a huge fan of ylang ylang, this blend has a nice floral note that’s perfect for promoting closeness and setting the mood for spicy occasions.
