Forget the chocolates and roses! One of the best parts about Valentine's Day is the excuse to get closer (. . . much closer) to your significant other. We like starting off any deep snuggle session with a long, luxurious massage. It doesn't just feel incredible — a solid rubdown is good for you! Massages can improve your immune system, relieve migraines, boost your quality of sleep, and lessen depression and anxiety. Add a snazzy oil to that, and you have softer, hydrated, more luminous skin. Whether you're the knead-y (sorry, had to) one in your relationship or a little more giving, we've found the perfect oils to make sure your massage goes smoothly.
