Regarding the use of essential oils, we should know that essential oils cannot be directly applied to the skin. This is because the concentration of essential oil is very high, and direct contact with skin without dilution may cause irritation or allergic reaction. Therefore, before using essential oil, we need to mix it with appropriate carrier oil. Commonly used carrier oils include coconut oil and grape seed oil. After mixing a few drops of essential oil with a proper amount of carrier oil, massage or smear it on the needed parts, which can better play the role of essential oil.
Choose the essential oil variety that suits you according to your personal needs. Different essential oils have different efficacy and scope of application. For example, lavender essential oil can relieve stress and improve sleep quality, while lemon essential oil can refresh your mind and enhance your attention. When choosing essential oils, you can know the efficacy of different essential oils according to your own needs and preferences, and choose the varieties that suit you.
Pay attention to the dilution ratio and usage when using essential oil. Generally speaking, for adults, adding 3-5 drops of essential oil per 10 ml of carrier oil is a suitable dilution ratio. But for children, pregnant women and some special people, essential oils should be used with caution and operated under professional guidance. Different essential oils can be applied in different ways, such as massage, distillation and spraying.
Need to be reminded that the use of essential oils should follow the principle of proper use. Although essential oil has certain efficacy, excessive use may bring negative effects. Therefore, when you use essential oil for the first time or don't know the specific dosage requirements, it is recommended to start with a small amount and observe the reaction of personal skin to essential oil.
Proper use of essential oils can bring many benefits. However, it should be noted that it cannot be directly applied to the face and needs to be mixed with appropriate carrier oil. When choosing essential oil, dilution ratio and usage method, we should choose according to personal needs and specific conditions, and follow the principle of proper use.
