There are various techniques of using essential oils on the skin. Note that many essential oils are dangerous and can’t directly be used on the skin when undiluted. How to prepare an essential oil solution You should always dilute your essential oils in a carrier compound such as water, nut oil or vegetable. The concentration should not be more than 5 percent. For instance, one spoon of water or nut oil will need about three drops of essential oil so that they all make a solution with a concentration of 3 percent. That is safe enough for the skin. If you want to massage your body or apply the oil to the whole body, you need a solution of 1 percent concentration. This means one teaspoon of water or oil will require one drop of essential oil. This level of concentration is very safe. For kids, the concentration should not be more than 0.25 percent. The best carrier for you to choose There are many carriers out there, but most of them are available in natural food
