It’s important, as with any pure, essential oil, that you treat your symptoms safely in order to avoid burning or irritation. With this in mind, we encourage you to take a patch test before applying to the affected area/ visage - you may take a patch test by applying a small amount of Neem Oil to your arm and leaving for 24 hours. If there appear to be any signs of swelling, irritation or redness - try again with a diluted amount or avoid completely.
Directions for using Neem Oil:
- Lightly dab the neem oil onto the area using a cotton swab or cotton ball, and allow it to soak in for up to 20 minutes.
- Wash off the oil with warm water.
- Use daily until you achieve desired results.
