A massage oil candle isn’t just a candle—it’s a whole vibe.
At Above Average Candle Studio, our massage oil candles are designed to melt into a warm, skin-loving oil that nourishes, hydrates, and sets the mood. Whether you’re planning a self-care night or an intimate moment with your partner, here’s how to use yours safely and luxuriously.
What Makes a Massage Oil Candle Different?
Unlike traditional candles, massage oil candles are made with skin-safe, low-melting-point oils. When lit, they melt into a silky oil that’s warm—not hot—so you can pour it directly onto skin for massage and moisture. Think: candle meets body oil meets spa-at-home. Our massage oil candles are made with all natural grapeseed oil and vitamin e. Candles are scented in your custom fragrance or the fragrance of your choice from our seasonal fragrance menu.
How To Use Your Massage Oil Candle Step by Step

1. Light the Candle
Light your massage oil candle and let it burn for 10–15 minutes. This allows enough oil to melt while releasing the fragrance into the room.
💡 Tip: Dim the lights, put on a playlist, and let the ambiance do its thing.
2. Extinguish the Flame
Once enough oil has pooled, blow out the candle. Always make sure the flame is fully out before using the oil.
Safety first—romance second 😉
3. Test the Temperature
Pour a small amount of the melted oil onto your fingertips or wrist to test the temperature. It should feel comfortably warm, never hot.
4. Pour & Massage
Slowly pour the oil directly onto skin or into your hands, then massage in smooth, intentional strokes. The oil absorbs beautifully, leaving skin soft, hydrated, and glowing.
Perfect for:
Shoulder and back massages
Arms, legs, and hands
Romantic couples moments
Post-shower moisture ritual
5. Let It Soak In
No need to rinse. The oil is designed to absorb into the skin, leaving behind moisture and fragrance—not grease.
