What happens if you use too much lavender oil?

Can you use too much lavender oil on skin?

Using too much lavender oil on skin can cause skin irritation and other adverse reactions. It is important to dilute lavender oil before using it on the skin. Generally, it should be diluted to no more than 1-3% of the total volume. It is also important to test the oil on a small area of skin first to ensure there is no reaction. If any irritation occurs, stop using the oil immediately.

Can you use too much essential oil?

Yes, it is possible to use too much essential oil, as it can be potent and can cause skin irritation or sensitization. The recommended amount of essential oil to use varies depending on the type and concentration of the oil, as well as the size of the area being treated, so it is important to use the correct amount for safety and effectiveness. Additionally, it is important to dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before applying to the skin, as this can help reduce the risk of skin irritation and sensitization.
