Suggested Use: Use a few drops in a

Aromaland's Oily Skin or Acne Blends (which contain Lemon) to 1oz. of
unscented body care to help problem skin. Citrus Essential

your citrus oils away from heat and direct sunlight, and in tightly
closed containers; your fridge would be great! Try using them within 6
months of purchase. Older oils may not be appropriate for medicinal or
skin care purposes, but can still add citrus-power to a diffuser
blend. |
