Sunshine & Citrus: How To Use Citrus Essential Oils

There is just something about the smell of citrus fruits that brings on the happiness of sunshine.

𝙔𝙇 𝙏𝙄𝙋 : Most citrus essential oils are photosensitive, meaning they can cause irritation when applied to skin that is exposed to the sun. Depending on the citrus essential oil, it can last on your skin for 24 to 72 hours. Read the label for directions before topically using these oils.
