Oils for Lomi Lomi massage

[Pompal 09.]

Hi Guys, I did a quick search on here but couldn't find the answer. What oils do you use for Lom Lomi massages? I tend to use grapeseed oil but I'm thinking warm smelling floral scent would be be nicer.

I don't do Lomi Lomi myself, but it makes me think of Hawaii...how about yummy-smelling unrefined coconut oil? LOVE that stuff!

I use grapeseed. I just warm up the amount i am going to use in a small bottle and add a few drops of the clients favorite essential oil.

I use jojoba - more expensive than most oils, but the cheaper laundry expenses easily balance it out. (jojoba is a wax rather than an oil, it is almost the same makeup as the skin's own sebum, so normal laundry washes wash it out easily, no need for oil shadow pre-wash treatments. JOjoba doesn't go rancid like oils) If someone is VERY hairy I will mix in a bit of a cheaper oil like almond or coconut.
Note: I don't do much under body work, that requires more oil, if I did do more under body work I would probably consider jojoba a bit too expensive.

Coconut oil can be a pain to wash out of linens, but then I think any oil is a pain to wash out compared to jojoba
