💡 Summer Usage Tips for Citrus Oils

  • Diffuser Blends: Pair citrus oils with grounding woods or florals like cedarwood, geranium, or vetiver.

  • Body Care: Always dilute citrus oils well (1–2% max). Avoid sun exposure for 12 hours after application—they're photosensitive!

  • Mood Shifts: Inhale Lemon or Tangerine from a personal inhaler to lift heaviness or overwhelm.
