Description
Maybe you like the idea of a cooling rub but find most of them smell like a locker room. Puressentiel comes at it from the aromatherapy side. Its Muscles & Joints Cryo Pure Gel blends 14 essential oils with natural menthol for an intense cold feeling as you massage it in.
What is in it, and what is not
Puressentiel says its 14 essential oils are botanically and biochemically defined, and 100% pure and natural. Natural menthol supplies the cold. The formula contains no colorings, synthetic fragrances or mineral oils, and the texture is non-greasy and non-sticky, so it sinks in fast. Puressentiel says its effectiveness and skin tolerance have been tested by dermatologists and physiotherapists.
A cosmetic, not a medicine
This is sold as a cosmetic massage gel. It is designed for comfort while you massage a sensitive area, the kind of tenderness that comes after a knock, a hard session or a stiff day at your desk. Many people find the combination of cold and gentle rubbing makes the area feel looser and calmer.
How to use it
- Take a small amount.
- Massage it into the sensitive area only, until it is absorbed.
- Use it twice a day.
- Wash your hands afterward.
Careful with essential oils
Essential oils and menthol can feel very intense, and some people react to them. If you have sensitive skin, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are unsure, check with a pharmacist or clinician first. Do not use it on broken skin, near your eyes, or on young children without advice. Stop if your skin gets red or itchy. Pain after an injury that is severe, or that does not improve, deserves a proper check.
The free Pain Check-Up can help you understand your aches, and the wellness and rehab groups are a good place to share self-massage tips.
