These are some important essential oil guidelines to remember when applying essential oils to your skin:
These oils shall not be applied to the skin undiluted — they shall always be diluted in a carrier oil to a maximum of 5%. Check the best carrier option for your skin type here:

So since 1 ml is 20 drops, for every 1 ml of carrier oil, you should add 1 drop of EO. And so, since 1 oz is 29 mL, for every 1 oz of carrier oil, you would add no more than 29 drops of essential oils.
Thinking on proper dilution ratios can vary, and some of us believe even a 5% dilution to be too strong and therefore you may want to add even less than that, as for example 15 drops of essential oils per oz of carrier oil, which would be a 2.5% dilution. This can vary depending on your unique skin and how it responds to the higher dilution rate (as for example if you experience some irritation).

You should make a test in so to make sure your skin does not have an adverse reaction to the oils and the inner forearm is a great place to do a test since the skin is delicate, similar to facial skin. In addition to that, some of the essential oils shall be avoided by pregnant women, infants, and young children, so make sure to do your homework beforehand.

Most skin issues are caused by hormonal imbalances, aging, and skin breakouts. Most people with skin problems rely on commercial cosmetic products.
