What lotions work best?

[rodolfo l]

Where I went to school we didn't use lotions ect.  They use Po Sum On and Zheng Gui Shui.  While doing my clinicals and practicing at home some of the people I worked on didn't like how the skin pulled sometimes. Worst one my MOM!!  Anyway I have bought some Prossage and Emu Oil lotion for deep tisse.  (deep tissue is basically what I do)  I have not used them yet (just got them today) was wondering if any one has used these and how you liked them.  What other products (lotion types that give you glide w/o the oil) works well for you?Thanks!!!

Hi Mena,

Really its about find a balance for you. I personally like one of biotone's products, its a lotion/oil combo and has nice glide for deeper work. I can't remember what it is called at the moment. You may find more answers in the tools of the trade forum found here:

It really is all about what you want to use.  Personally I dislike oil of any kind (except Prossage) and I don't like lotion either (absorbs too fast - at least the kinds that I have tried)

Cream is the winner for me!

There is a great free video that you can get along with a sample of Prossage. I wouod not have known what to do with it othrwise, as I never saw it in school.

I have said it before and I'll say it again, I really like the Natural Formulations NL-6 Sunflower Deep Tissue Lotion

I do mostly deep work, and it is quite nice.  I also haven't had any reactions to it and have been using it for about 2 years now.

I've been using TheraPro Massage Gel from Massagewarehouse.com  It's the same as the Biotone Gel, but less expensive.  It is an oil/lotion mix.  It's great for deep and regular massg., also for hot stones.  I also like to use different oils, or creams that are scented, especially around the neck, face, and arms.  I will sometimes add the Gel to the ones with fragrence to make them last longer since they tend to be more expensive.  I have been using products from Spa Blend and really like them.  My clients enjoy the variety and the aromatherapy they receive from scented lotions.

This is good to hear..I had contacted them a while ago, asked for samples and was rewarded with a nice variety.  I'm working on determining which I like best, so I can order some.  Thanks Tex for your input.

Otherwise, I don't like the lotion from Liberty Naturals (too sticky, makes those little balls of goo).  I don't like BioTone NutirNaturals avocado & carrot extract massage lotion  (it dries too fast/soaks in too fast, only good for some light quick efflerage strokes).  

I do like  Soothing Touch Herbal Therapy Lavender Massage Lotion, think I got it from MW.  The fragrance is sometimes good, sometimes not good, which is why I keep looking.  

Great thread!  mick

goo ==== ewwwwww!I agree on Nutri-naturals, don't like it either... I can feel my "fingerprints" when I use it... ewwww!Soothing Touch... I also agree on... sometimes good and sometimes too "much".
