Chat Sensitivity to Massage Oil

[Mungu]

I don't know if this is just happening to me, but I find that I sometimes get an itchy rash or bumpy skin on my back a day or two after a massage. I have been taking more care to try and wash all of the oil off in the shower, and I think it has helped but it is not easy to do. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I am considering bringing my own oil to my next appointment.

Haven't had that, but ask the MPA to give you a hot towel rub after the massage.
And, as you said, bring your own oil.

Good suggestion, particularly because it's hard to get the oil off my back

It's probably the left over oil clogging your pores. As Old no 7 suggested definitely ask for them to clean you off with a hot towel before your shower. Also try not to use very hot water in the shower after. Colder water will help keep your pores smaller.

I've brought my own oil on a few occasions. I usually pick some up from Healthy Planet. There are many options on Amazon as well. Avoid baby oil at all costs.

I bring my own oil, spa oil is cheap and usually contaminated, bring a UV flashlight turn the lights out and prepare to regurgitate your last meal ..

Thanks for the suggestions
