When using citrus essential oils on the skin, please remember to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. Most oils in the citrus family can potentially be phototoxic, meaning that they can cause irritation and increase chances of sunburn when the area where they were applied is exposed to UV rays. Diluting with a carrier oil for skin application is recommended. Unless you are working directly with a highly qualified practitioner who has been specifically trained in essential oil pharmacology, it is not advisable to take internally. If pregnant or nursing, consult your physician.
