Can I use this oil on sensitive skin or on my face?

KEHAMASSAAŽI ÕLI "PUNANE PIPAR" 250ML

The product information explicitly states it is not the best match for sensitive, broken, or irritated skin because the capsicum-derived warming effect can be quite noticeable. Facial skin is thinner and more reactive than body skin, so the heat sensation may feel uncomfortable or cause temporary redness. If you have a history of reacting to warming balms, spicy food on the skin, or cosmetic ingredients like menthol or camphor, treat this oil with extra caution. Before a full-body massage, do a patch test: apply a few drops to the inner forearm, massage lightly, and wait 10–15 minutes. If you experience only a pleasant warmth, you can proceed. If you feel stinging, itching, or see pronounced redness that does not fade quickly, wash the area with mild soap and cool water and choose a neutral glide oil instead. Keep the oil away from the eye area and mucous membranes entirely — if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. For daily body moisturising without heat, a simple vegetable oil (almond, jojoba, or a fragrance-free body oil) is a safer choice.
