Hello sweeties,
Body oils are something that I have never tried since I already have pretty oily skin. But the claim “stress relief” looked very alluring to me which is why I picked this up. I get muscle ache pretty easily and there should be something to soothe and relax the body except for a hot shower. Didn’t we all love massages when we were a kid? Grab this one to have the same experience. Read the in-depth review here!
Price: Rs 130 for 200 ml

My Experience with Himalaya Wellness Stress Relief Massage Oil:
Packaging: The massage oil comes in a nice big white bottle with a sleek label over it. All the details are mentioned at the back with the skin benefits that it offers. There are a lot of claims so this is a total all-rounder. The cap is green in colour and closes with a click so no worry of leakage. The bottle is very travel-friendly and can be easily carried around and sits nicely in my shower too. It is very affordable too as they offer a big quantity at a very reasonable price.
Consistency, smell and feel on the skin: The massage oil comes in a light yellow colour and the consistency is super runny, like any other oil. It is perfect as an oil. A little amount is needed to be massaged on the areas of pain or stress. The smell is a typical ayurvedic one made up of natural ingredients and herbs. The smell revives the senses, calming down the mind and body but continuous use will surely irritate many noses. The smell is like that; some will like it while some won’t. The smell stays on the hands and legs but I usually apply it around the neck area and the back, so it doesn’t bother me much. It goes light on the skin, but oily skin might find this oil heavy and greasy. But, it anyway indicates to take a bath after keeping the oil on for a while, so it is okay.
Results: Firstly, it is very good to soothe the skin and very well helps get rid of itchiness. It hydrates and nourishes flaky and dry skin by making it smooth, soft and supple. After taking a bath, my skin feels nourished and I do not need any added lotion to be applied as this keeps my skin supple. The smell will very well relax the mind only if you like the scent. It gives a slightly warm sensation if the area is massaged well and hard. I wouldn’t say that it can get rid of stress, muscle pain or anxiety very well, but it very well calm it down. My muscles feel relaxed to a very good extent and it can release joint tension as well. Overall, a good massage oil that will do a lot of things together after a tired day.
