Remember beauties, everyone's skin reacts differently to different products. We suggest doing a patch test first. Dilute the essential oil with a carrier oil, and place a small amount on the inside of your elbow or wrist. Wait 48 to 72 hours. If you do not notice an allergic reaction, redness, swelling, itching, or burning on that spot, it is okay for you to use.
