Not everyone’s skin is the same. This is the big $Not everyone’s skin is the same. This is the biggest piece of information to know. ⠀ ⠀ 1. Essential oils can irritate the skin. Those who have sensitive skin, damaged, diseased, or radiated skin are going to be at much greater risk of having a skin reaction to essential oils. Know your skin type.⠀ ⠀ 2. Know your essential oil. An oil high in phenols and aldehydes, like thyme, oregano, clove, cassia, cinnamon and others, are going to immediately irritate the skin. Read the label.⠀ ⠀ 3. Children have thinner skin. Dilute essential oils before applying. Extra dilute oils high in phenols or choose a more gentle option. Do not apply essential oils topically to premature babies. If you can see that their skin is thin and undeveloped, please do not apply it topically. Just give it some time. ⠀ ⠀ 4. Citrus essential oils and oils high in furanocoumarins, especially bergamot, increase the risk of sunburn. Avoid direct sunlight or UV light for at least 12 hours after applying. ⠀ ⠀ 5. You can have a type 4 hypersensitivity to an oil. This is not a true allergy, but a priming of T cells that results in an immune response. Technically, it’s possible to have a reaction every time you use that essential oil. ⠀ ⠀ 6. Know your product source. Some oils available don’t actually come from plants. Some oils have fragrance molecules added to them. Some oils have not had solvents properly recovered from them. Those are unsafe for your skin and your health.⠀ ⠀ 7. Dilution slows down absorption, reduces the risk of irritation and sensitization, and protects the skin. Use high quality carrier oils like sweet almond, jojoba, grapeseed, rosehip, fractionated coconut oil. ⠀ ⠀ 8. You can use them neat (without carrier oil). It absolutely is possible. I do it safely every single day as do many, many, many others. However, I do not recommend this for known irritating oils, children under 12, for sensitive, diseased, damaged, radiated skin, anyone undergoing stress, or for anyone new to oils.⠀ ⠀ Tag 4 friends who need this info.$
