How to Use Essential Oils Safely on Your Skin

Using essential oils on your skin effectively and safely isn’t difficult but it can be a little confusing.


So we've put together this handy guide to using essential oils on your body.


Never use undiluted essential oil on your skin


First things first - ALWAYS dilute essential oils when applying them to your skin or scalp. 


Undiluted essential oil on the skin can potentially cause sensitisation and severe skin reactions in susceptible people.


I have known of clients who have splashed lavender essential oil around like it was a cologne only to find that at some point in time their skin starts to react, becoming sensitized or developing eczema like rashes.


I have a personal theory that we all have a lifetime limit or threshold for different substances in our lives.  Once that limit has been reached then sensitisation occurs on every subsequent exposure.

For this reason I prefer to err on the side of caution and recommend that essential oils are diluted when applied to the skin.
