Photosensitive Essential Oils
Aromatherapists are not just trained that these oils are phototoxic 🤔, they are trained why, when and how you can blend with them and when using them is a contraindication. All these reasons and more is why essential oils are not a one size fits all.
But while you may be experimenting and learning, please use this list to make wise oil choices 🥰. Be sure to avoid the sun and tanning beds when using these oils.
And for an even better approach connect with an aromatherapist 😉
