THE ONE Lemon Oil

How to Apply Lemon Oil

Lemon oil is a natural astringent with antibacterial and brightening properties. It’s ideal for addressing oily skin, dull hair, and improving skin tone. However, it’s a photosensitive oil, so avoid sun exposure after application and always dilute it with a carrier oil.
