What is the best oil for massaging skin?

There are all sorts of lovely massage oils. One favorite is sweet almond oil, although people with nut allergies should avoid it. Avocado oil is also considered delicious when rubbed between the shoulder blades. Sunflower oil, olive oil, even canola are fine for massage; just add a few drops of a favorite essential oils (sandalwood, patchouli, lavender) for a terrific scent.

Any vegetable oil is good for massage, but I don't recommend a highly scented olive oil, unless you want to smell like a salad.
