This eucalyptus essential oil is a concentrated aromatic ingredient, so it should never be applied directly to the face. For use on oily skin, dilute a small amount into a neutral, unscented carrier oil (like jojoba or grapeseed) or a plain cream. A typical, safe starting point is 1–2 drops of essential oil per tablespoon (approximately 15 ml) of your base product. Add the diluted blend to a clay mask for a sharper cleansing effect, or mix it into your regular moisturizer to help skin feel less heavy and look more matte. Apply to clean skin, avoiding the immediate eye area and any broken skin. Start with a patch test behind your ear or on your inner arm to check for sensitivity before using it on your face. Because it's a pure essential oil, a little goes a long way; using more does not increase the benefit and can cause irritation.
