When using lemon essential oil, it's important to dilute it with a carrier oil before applying it to the skin to avoid any potential skin irritation or sensitivity. Lemon oil can also increase sensitivity to sunlight, so it's best to avoid direct sunlight exposure after application. Additionally, it's always recommended to do a patch test before using any essential oil to ensure you don't have any adverse reactions.
