can you apply direct to skin without a carrier oil? Thanks!

I am sorry I don't know much about that, but I wouldn't because it is very concentrated. I think the smell would be too strong to be applied without something else. If you can manage to put very little on, it might work. The smell is very, very good.

I have been able to yes, but most oils don't bother my skin with direct contact either. You might test just a very tiny amount on your arm or wrist then wait 24 hours and see if any problems develop. That's what I do with anything I think might cause a reaction before I apply it directly. And I have pretty sensitive skin, so alot of things react on me. But these particular oils don't seem to do so, which for me is big relief although this particular blend is very strong, so use very sparingly. I love to dab it on a tissue then leave it in a room that needs deoderizing or just to smell a bit better, because to me anyways it smells a bit like the desert after a rainstorm.

I did because this has enough oils in it and it did not bother my skin. I cannot say what it might do to your

I mixed it with rosehip oil and put it directly on my face. I think you can mix it with any oil or cream. It's amazing, I've already used up that bottle and am buying another.

Lavender is an oil where you can generally apply without diluting, especially if you are applying to the bottom of the feet. However, if you are noticing a mild reaction when applying this oil to the skin, fractionated coconut oil will do the trick. I generally use a approximately 5 drops of coconut oil to 1 drop of essential oil. A word of caution, if you do notice a reaction, do not try washing off with water. Doing this will actually drive the oil deeper into the skin. Any questions, email eodoterraoils@gmail.com.

It comes out in a heavy white foam. I'm not sure if you'd want to use it on your face directly, but if you spray some in your hands and rub it on it might be fine that way. It might or might not leave a shine on your face since it's a type of oil, but on dry skin it makes it look normal and moisturized.

No, never use them undiluted on the skin. You can mix with a carrier oil to dilute them if you want to apply to the skin.

I would say no. These (wonderful) oils are already in a carrier oil, and so are not just pure essential oils.

Coconut oil is good for the skin, so I don't see any reason why you could use it as a carrier. I use olive oil.

My mom and grandma use the oil straight from the bottle without a carrier. They just apply a small amount straight to their face after cleansing. They say it doesn't take much and lasts a long time. Order the 30ml bottle, it's a better value than the 10ml bottle. The 30ml lasts an average of 3 months for both my mom and grandma.

Yes to both, however if you are sensitive, you may want to use a carrier oil, (olive oil, coconut oil) if apply neat (straight) to any sensitive skin, but I do use it neat on my stomach and foot.

I use it after the shower and I don't use lotion afterwards, but only because I've never needed to. If your skin feels dry afterwards though, I can't imagine applying an oil-free lotion would be a bad idea. The microdermabrasion might make your skin a little red immediately afterwards, but give it a few minutes.

Yes, you can. Mostly I use it in a combination with other oils (base and essential) as face and hand cream. Results are very good.

Anytime you use essential oils on the body you should put them in a carrier oil. I am a Massage Therapist and do use this on my clients.

Better to use a carrier oil. Mineral oil, if it's for your skin you can mix with coconut oil or baby oil. I've also mixed it with petroleum jelly or rubbing alcoholMix with a light oil, for skin I recommend petroleum jelly or baby oil. Coconut oil works great as well. I sometimes add a drop to a water bottle to clear up a cold.

Yes, you just use it like you would any hand or body lotion. It is just not liquid like many hand lotions are. It is called "butter" for a reason. Even tho it is solid, it is soft and smooth as soon as you start to rub it in. I do not use any other product anymore. Our entire family uses this daily.

mix 3 drops with a carrier oil and rub each night onto bottoms of feet...It is a "hot" oil, so do not use it straight unless diffusing with it. Goes into bloodstream and disinfects!!! Fabulous!!!

Hi Sara, I don't recommend straight oils for you face. You can mix it in recipes for face cream, but not full strength . Oils can burn. On line there are some really nice recipes for your skin that you can mix yourself. Look under Herbal recipes.

Yes you can. It has almost no odor and is easy to apply. If your skin is prone to dryness, a small amount if this oil will help.
