October 3, 2021 by Tiffany Davis 2 Comments

Lemon oil is a versatile ingredient that you can use in different ways. It has healing properties and works wonders to treat a broad range of issues. Not only can you use it on your skin and body, but you can also add it as a component when cleaning different parts of your home.

So if you’d like to know how to use lemon oil and benefit from it, you’re in the right place. Check out this list of ways to use lemon oil.

how to use lemon oil

Fight Acne with Lemon Oil

If you’ve struggled with acne for quite a while and haven’t found a product that works for your skin, try using lemon oil. The natural ingredient reduces inflammation and works wonders for the skin, leaving it looking healthier and clearer than before.

If you’re going to use lemon oil on your skin, be sure to combine it with a carrier oil, such as almond oil or coconut oil. 

With the continued use of lemon oil on the skin, you may notice a substantial difference as your acne begins to subside. In addition to fighting inflammation, lemon oil exfoliates the skin, eliminating the dead skin cells from the surface.

Add It to Your Bottle of Water

Add lemon oil to the water bottle when you’re on a quest to drink more water but struggling to do so because of the bland taste. Not only is it safe to consume, but it’s also good for you and adds lots of flavor to the water to make it more enjoyable.

It’s best to add roughly two to three drops of lemon oil to a bottle or glass of cold water. Some people also like to add mint leaves because lemon and mint are a perfect pair.

When consuming water with lemon oil added to it, these are some of the benefits that you’ll get to reap:

  • Reduce Heartburn
  • Relieve Menstrual Cramps
  • Help With Upset Stomach
  • Prevent Kidney Stones
  • Morning Sickness

These are only a handful of the benefits you can enjoy when you drink water with lemon oil. But, of course, increasing your water consumption while using such an essential oil can provide numerous other benefits that make it worth it.

Diffuser lemon oil

Put It in a Diffuser to Create a Sweet Scent in the Home

When you’d like your home to smell refreshingly clean, add a bit of lemon oil to the diffuser. It’s the perfect way to eliminate odors without using toxic chemicals. When people want their homes to smell good, they often reach for air fresheners and similar products, but many of those products contain harmful ingredients that aren’t great to use.

Now, you can feel good about the way that you keep your home smelling good by using natural lemon oil in a diffuser. You can put it in a small or large diffuser and place it anywhere in the house, such as the bedroom, living room, or even the bathroom.

Use Lemon Oil in Your Homemade Cleaning Products

Did you know that lemon oil is a fantastic ingredient to use in your homemade cleaning products? For example, if you like to clean with baking soda and vinegar, you can give the concoction an incredible scent of lemons by including a few drops of lemon essential oil into the mixture.

It will leave a lasting fresh lemon scent on anything you clean, such as your kitchen table, cabinets, dresser drawers, and more. Best of all, it’s a lot safer to use than many of the cleaning products on the market today.

So if you care about keeping your home clean without using toxic ingredients, this is the perfect solution.

Apply it to Scars

Do you have acne scars or other types of scars on your face or body? If so, you can use lemon oil to help fade them and reduce the appearance of those scars. First, combine a bit of the lemon oil with a carrier oil that won’t clog pores. Once you’ve combined the two ingredients, grab a cotton ball and dab it into the oil mixture.

Next, gently pat the damp cotton ball on your skin, paying close attention to areas of the face and body with scars and hyperpigmentation. If you use it regularly for several weeks, you’ll see a noticeable difference!

Use It on Unwanted Warts

Do you have unwanted warts on your skin? Even if you don’t currently have them, you may get them on different occasions, and knowing how to eliminate them is a must. You can apply a bit of lemon oil to your unwanted warts. First, combine the lemon oil with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil.

Then, dab a bit of the oil on the wart and cover it with a bandage, allowing the oil to seep into the skin to provide relief. Continue to use the lemon oil on the wart at least twice a day for several days in a row. It should help you get rid of the wart naturally without needing to use harsh or painful products on your skin.

Get Rid of the Grease

Lemon oil works well to cut the grease. So, if you have something greasy that needs a good scrubbing, be sure to pull out the lemon oil to help you get it done with ease. For example, lemon oil is an incredible ingredient worth using on greasy, dirty stoves with debris stuck on it. If you’ve struggled to remove the grease in the past, try this method because it works.

What to Do With Lemon Oil

Lemon is one essential oil that you can do many things with, such as cleaning your house, adding to your water for flavor and good health, and even treating acne and scarring left behind from it.

The natural oil is affordable, good for you, and easy to find. It’s one of the oils you should always have at home, whether you plan to use it in one of your homemade cleaning concoctions or diffuse it to give your home the perfect aroma.

Now that you know the many ways to use it, which methods would you like to try first?
