- Start with your head and work your way down to your toes.
- Pour some massage oil onto your palms, and using flat hands,
rub it vigorously into your hair and scalp.
- Use your fingertips to cover your head with small circular
movements.
- Gently massage your face and ears, and then your neck.
- Knead your shoulders and vigorously massage your arms, with
up-and-down motions. Use circular movements on your elbows and
knead your hands and fingers.
- Massage your chest and stomach using large gentle circular
motions. Massage your sides and back, if you can reach it without
straining.
- Use vigorous up- and-down motions on your legs, with circular
movement at your knees and ankles.
- Massage your feet-tops and bottoms-and use your fingers to
massage your toes.
When you are done, take a warm shower and use a mild soap to wash
off the excess oil. The oil that has penetrated or remains on the
surface of the skin conditions it and helps keep your body warm.
