System JO glide massage oil 1oz - oil discontinued by System JO - review by Eva Schwaltz

The Glide Massage Oil from System Jo is a wonderful product to use on your skin for a massage. Not only is this a massage oil, but it can be used as a lubricant, or tattoo and skin conditioner.

I got the citrus scent, and it smells like a very sweet orange. It reminds me of those chocolate orange snacks you can get at any grocery store. The ingrediants are: Cyclopentasiloxane, cyclotetrasiloxane, dimethiconol, dimethicone, citrus oil.

The oil is thinner than any other massage oils I’ve tried. Personally I prefer thinner oils because I find they absorb in the skin better. The oil feels very slick, almost powdery. It allows my hands to glide very easily and move the oil around. It absorbs nicely without becoming sticky or tacky. You can directly place it on the skin where you want to massage, or you can place some in your hands and rub your hands together to warm it up. Simply blowing on it won't produce any heating or warming sensation.

I tried tasting it, but all I can taste is the bitter citrus oil, so only use this for massage. I don’t plan on using this as a lubricant because I don’t know how my body will react. I also have a tattoo, but don’t like to use this stuff on it. My tattoo is on my back, so the oil gets in my hair also, but this stuff definitely works on tattooed areas.

The one ounce bottle is cylindrical in shape, and is only 4.5 inches tall. It has a pop top, and you have to squeeze the bottle in order to get any oil out. It tips over with little effort, and the cap twists off easily, so try to store this upright or you’ll get oil everywhere. Before using it, make sure to peel the seal off located under the cap.

I love the feel of this oil, and I plan on getting the full size bottle of this stuff. I've only had this bottle for a couple of days, and it's almost completely gone. It would be awesome if they could make a sample kit with their different oils. I don’t really like citrus smelling stuff, but this has a light sweet smell that I can deal with. The scent doesn’t linger on my skin that long, I would say it lasts for about 5 minutes. At first it’s rather strong, and then it lightens up. It also absorbs quickly, so if you like those kind of oils, I definitely recommend Glide Massage Oil.

With constant reapplying, I’ve managed to finish this little bottle in three days. With normal use, it could probably last you a week. The bottle tends to get quite slick if you pick it up again for more oil multiple times. This is still a great way to see if you like the oil or not, and I’m glad I got to try this out before deciding that I want to get the larger bottle.
