How to use Lime Essential Oil

• Diffuse: Add a few drops to an aromatherapy diffuser or electric vaporiser and let the zesty and uplifing aroma of Lime Essential Oil fill your environment.
• Topically: Dilute a few drops of Lime Oil into a carrier oil, massage oil, or moisturiser to soothe fatigued muscles.
  
• Skin Serum: Add a few drops to a carrier oil of choice; we recommend Jojoba Oil or Rosehip Oil as these carrier oils are well known for their skin benefits. Once diluted, apply nightly to desired areas, avoiding your eyes and sensitive areas.

• Bath: Adding 2-3 drops to a warm bath may help assist with body aches & poor circulation.
• On The Go: Add 4-6 drops of Lime Oil to a 15ml roller bottle and top with Fractionated Coconut Oil to create an on-the-go calming roller blend.
• Fast Remedy: Add 1-2 drops of Lime Essential Oil to a tissue and inhale at a distance while ensuring that the oil does not come into direct contact with the skin. Alternatively, you can smell the oil directly from the bottle!

NOTE: Cold Pressed Lime Essential Oils are phototoxic. This means that when applied topically (even when diluted), this essential oil can cause skin sensitivity when exposed to sunlight. We recommend avoiding direct sunlight for 24h after topical application.
