Did you know that some essential oils and sunshine aren’t always the best combination? ☀️🍋
Certain essential oils can increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV light, a reaction often called photosensitivity or phototoxicity. This can happen when specific oils are applied topically before spending time in direct sunlight (and yes… tanning beds count too).
Possible reactions may include:
• Redness
• Skin discomfort
• Itching
• Blistering
• Changes in skin appearance or pigmentation
Reactions can vary based on the type of oil used, how much was applied, individual skin sensitivity, and time spent in the sun.
Running quick errands usually isn’t a major concern, but longer outdoor activities like beach days, gardening, pool time, hiking, or sports are when a little extra awareness can go a long way.
As a general guideline, many people choose to avoid prolonged sun exposure for 12–72 hours after applying oils known to be photosensitive.
Coming up next… which oils deserve a little extra sunshine caution. 🌴
