February 12, 2008 - Give your partner the gift of tender loving touch, a sensual massage with Vanilla and Vetiver Organic skincare Massage Oil from Neal’s Yard Remedies limited edition, Valentine’s Day gift set. The ‘Message in a Bottle’ exclusive gift box for Valentine’s Day contains massage oil, a Vetiver candle to create the right mood, and a beautiful miniature empty blue bottle with scroll, for writing your own secret message of love.
Vanilla and Vetiver have been selected for their sensual and aphrodisiac properties - Vetiver is the oil of tranquillity, it has a sensual aroma and gently builds confidence and energy, while vanilla is an aphrodisiac particularly popular with men. The aromatic, sweet and spicy scent of Vanilla and Vetiver has been blended with spicy Pink Pepper, beautiful Rose, exotic Ylang Ylang and uplifting Geranium to stimulate the senses.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Neal’s Yard Remedies has created top tips for giving the perfect Valentine's Day organic skin care massage:
1. Create the right ambience - light some candles, make sure the room is warm.
2. Using an organic skincare massage oil will allow you to slide your hands smoothly over your partner’s body. The rule is less is more, you can always apply more but it is harder to remove!
3. For a really luxurious feel to your massage, warm the towels on the radiator and place the bottle of massage oil in a cup of warm water.
4. Massage your partner on towels on the floor, or a futon. A bed is actually not ideal for either of you!
5. Before you begin, ask your partner which areas of their body feel tight and where they’d like you to work on.
6. Start by using long sweeping strokes of your hands over your partner’s back, this will get you both used to the sense and rhythm of touch.
7. Varying the speed and pressure of strokes will make your massage more effective. A brisk pace will invigorate and energise, slower movements will relax and de-stress.
8. Use the warm towels to cover the areas of the body you’re not working on, keeping warm is really important.
9. Remember to have the organic skincare oil within easy reach - there’s nothing worse than breaking the touch connection with your partner when they are feeling relaxed.
10. Finish your massage with a series of slower, lighter strokes that gradually stop - you don’t want to come to an abrupt end! Then let your partner wake up gently and ensure they drink plenty of water.
And of course, you could always treat a loved one to a massage session at Neal’s Yard Remedies. Simply call your local store to book an appointment.
