Rubbing oils into the skin?

[pinealoppe]

I have read sometimes that people will rub oils and massage into their skin while on the MC. I was wondering if someone can elaborate on this? What are the benefits of this? What types of oils can be used?

That's a new one on me.
I always thought that doing anything to the skin would be absorbed into the system and could hinder the MC.

I myself have never done any oil rubs..

I will be watching to see what others say...

Welcome and I hope you have a good Journey

hi- pine and welcome!

I have been using oils like jojoba (which is supposed to be good for skin, scalp & hair) and grape seed oil. there's a third waiting for me when this last bottle finishes, but don't remember what it was (maybe coconut?). i find using oils helps with the cold & dryness of winter-- and also my skin was getting sensitive at one point.

this morning-- I did wonder if it might stop detox through the skin, but then I went ahead and applied it anyway-- after my shower! :)

finally, although I haven't done so this last week, I was swimming almost daily--for the first 3/4 or so of the cleanse (I'm now at Day 43 & having my period) and it really helped with the chlorine!

best of luck to you!
