4 Tips for Citrus Summer Skincare

The glow-enhancing benefits of using citrus on the skin has many people diving headlong into a wide variety of products packing essential oils. Citrus is extremely powerful and should be used properly to ensure its effectiveness. During the summer, this is especially so. Here are 4 tips for citrus summer skincare.

1. Avoid using undiluted citrus oil on your skin, as they are highly active and have astringent properties.  Their photosensitivity activates in direct sunlight and can cause chemical burns. These reactions tend to manifest in the form of redness, blisters, or general inflammation.

2. If you’ll be exposed to the elements during the day, avoid skin irritation by layering sunscreen over any citrus-containing products before you go out.

3. If you decide to create your own homemade citrus mixtures, be sure to sufficiently dilute the carrier oil. Doing this will increase absorption and lessen the possibility of sun sensitivity.

4. Despite IFRA standards, everyone’s skin is different. To make sure you avoid negative chemical reactions, test the product on a patch of skin to see how it affects you. You can take full advantage of the benefits of citrus oils by following these simple precautions.
