I have sensitive skin. What precautions should I take before using this oil blend in my massage routine?

If you have sensitive skin, extra caution is necessary. Before incorporating it into a full-body massage, always perform a patch test. Dilute one drop of the essential oil blend in a teaspoon of a carrier oil you know is safe for your skin. Apply a small amount of this mixture to the inside of your forearm or behind your ear, and leave it without washing for 24 hours. Monitor the area for any signs of redness, itching, burning, swelling, or rash. If any reaction occurs, do not use the product. If there is no reaction, you can proceed with a very low dilution for your massage—consider a 1% concentration (5-6 drops per 30 ml of carrier) instead of the standard 2%. Remember, this blend creates a mild warming and toning sensation on the skin; it is a cosmetic for sensory effect and is not intended to treat any skin condition. Discontinue use immediately if discomfort persists.
