🚨SAFETY FIRST, before we dive into all the fun DIY’s for the summer I want to make sure you are always using your oils safely, so let’s chat about photosensitivity real quick❗
When we use certain oils topically where the sun is exposed to our skin, our skin can get a bit red and tender.
Almost all citrus oils are photosensitive, meaning they should be avoided topically before direct sunlight or artificial UV rays (think tanning beds or booths).
☀️ If you will be heading out in the sun, make sure any rollers or sprays you apply that contain citrus oils are applied “where the sun don’t shine” AKA the bottoms of your feet, under your clothes, etc.
The following oils and blends have been labeled as photosensitive by dōTERRA: AromaTouch, Bergamot, Easy Air, Cheer, Citrus Bliss, Clementine, Cumin, Elevation, Forgive, Grapefruit, InTune, Kumquat, Lemon, Lime, Motivate, On Guard, Purify, Sunny Citrus, Tangerine, Wild Orange and Zendocrine.
Ok, ok, I’ll step off my soapbox, all the safety recommendations are over❗
Now who is ready to dive into some recipes and DIYs❓ 🙋♀️
