Tui Balmes & Waxes

For years people have been using oils to create lubrication and glide when performing massage. Oil has been synonymous with massage and that has gone relatively unchallenged. Yet there have always been inherent difficulties when using oils and traditional thinking has seldom investigated these.

The fact is, massage oil spills easily. It can slip through the hands dripping on to the person who receives the massage and often spreads over sheets and towels. Oil containers may tip over onto the bed, table or floor. This can be an issue for both professionals and people doing massage at home. Massage oil may become so concentrated on bed linen that it proves impossible to wash out. Basically, oil is not so simple to manage. We’re just used to it.

But there are alternatives and Tui Massage & Body Wax is clearly one of the best. A blend of natural, organic beeswax and high quality vegetable oils, our Massage & Body Wax provides all the lubricating advantages of regular massage oil with none of the handling problems. It can be smoothly applied and reapplied without disrupting the flow of the massage. The semi-solid consistency of our Massage & Body Waxes eliminates spillage while making it easy to judge the desired amount for use. A hot wash removes residues, if any, from sheets, towels or clothing. This constitutes a major advantage over massage oil.

In addition, many therapists find that because there is less skin and hair absorption than with regular massage oils, an equivalent amount of Tui Massage & Body Wax lasts much longer, making it particularly appropriate for use on men with extensive body hair.

One objection to using Massage & Body Wax might be that people wish to mix essential oils with their carrier oils. Essential oils enjoy a deserved popularity these days for their inherent, natural healing qualities. While we already make seven Massage & Body Waxes carefully formulated with a variety of essential oils, our versatile unscented Massage & Body Wax can be spooned out into a bowl for easy blending with your own essential oils. Simply stir and re-pot the mixture for a truly creative and personalised blend retaining all the advantages inherent in our range.
