I got orange essential oil but I dunno how to use it on skin! Google searches say mix it with carrier oils. I don't wanna use oils on my face, my skin is oily as it is and weather crazy humid. so I was wondering if I can simply mix a drop or two in my cleanser or face wash?

I would use it as a fragrance for your body but I would not use it for your face essential oils are harmful to the skin. Use a non volatile oil... Argan, Jojoba, Squalane, Rosehip, to help control oil production.

I agree with Kitty Essential oils can be irritating to facial skin ,you want to use oils that are close to your own skins natural lipids,just mix it into a body cream instead

Ouch!! No, no, no...do not apply this directly to your skin. I wouldn't even use it as a fragrance. I'm not a home to look it up but I believe its a major skin irritant.

Oh ok! actually I bought it for scent for my tea candles..it smells fine in the bottle but it doesn't gives off smell in the candle burner so I was thinking of alternative uses! I guess ill just discard it now.

You don't have to get rid of it orange oil is used as massage oil it also stimulates collagen it's just better for body skin ,mixed into a carrier oil or put into a body cream not on your face.
