How to Use Bergamot Oil:

- Mix bergamot oil with a carrier oil like jojoba, coconut, or almond and apply it topically to the skin to help soothe inflammation, reduce acne and other blemishes, and promote a clear, glowing complexion. Always do a patch test first and avoid sun exposure after application.
- Add a few drops of bergamot oil to your bathwater to create a luxurious, spa-like experience that can help ease tension, boost mood, and nourish the skin.
- For internal use, dilute 1-2 drops of bergamot oil in water, tea, or honey to support healthy digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. Make sure to use a pure, high-quality oil labeled for internal use and consult with a healthcare professional before ingesting.
- Use bergamot oil in homemade cleaning products, air fresheners, and natural perfumes to enjoy its fresh, uplifting scent and take advantage of its antibacterial properties.
- Always dilute bergamot essential oil properly before topical use and perform a patch test to check for skin sensitivity. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and other sensitive areas, and stay out of direct sunlight for 12 hours after applying bergamot oil to the skin as it can cause photosensitivity.
