If used on the skin at all, lemon oil should always be diluted, and only used on parts of the body that are not going to be exposed to sunlight or UV light from any source within 24 hours. Test diluted lemon oil on a small area of the skin that will not be exposed to UV light within 24 hours. If any irritation occurs, avoid using lemon essential oil on your skin.
