- To use, apply 4 drops on your clean face. Then using your finger tips, gently massage your face in gentle circular motions. Leave the oil to sink deep into your skin cells overnight. Only use this facial oil at night time as it contains lemon oil which is photosensitive. This means that it negatively reacts with sunlight and can damage skin.
