Natural essential oils can be a lovely addition to your skincare and hair routine—when used thoughtfully. Follow these four steps to enjoy their aromatic and nurturing properties safely and effectively.

Choose high-quality oils

Select organic, pure essential oils with clear labels like “100% pure” or “therapeutic grade.” Avoid cloudy, sediment-filled bottles or extremely low prices, which may hint at poor quality. Then, select oils that align with your hair and skin goals: lavender and chamomile for gentle skin nourishment; tea tree for skin clarity; geranium or frankincense for promoting balanced texture; and rosemary or lemongrass for scalp care

Always dilute before use

Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be mixed into carrier oils—such as jojoba, almond, coconut, or grapeseed—before application. A good rule of thumb: use 1–2 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier for facial skincare, 3–6 drops for body oils, and 5–7 drops for hair and scalp blends

Perform a patch test first

Before applying to larger areas, put a small amount of your diluted blend on the inner forearm. Wait 24 hours to check for any redness, irritation, or discomfort. This step helps ensure your skin tolerates the oil safely

Apply mindfully

  • For skin: After cleansing, gently massage the diluted oil in upward strokes.
  • For hair/scalp: Apply the blend to your scalp and massage it in, then work it through hair lengths. Rinse or leave in, depending on your routine.

Consistency matters — you can apply these blends daily or adapt usage based on your skin or hair’s needs.
