While Eucalyptus oil mixes well with most carrier oils like coconut oil, almond oil or jojoba oil, choose the carrier oil which suits you best and use a mild dilution. Typically 1-2% essential oil is recommended for most people in a base of carrier oil, but if your skin is sensitive, dilute it even further.
3. Wash it off
After half an hour of applying the oil, rinse it off with cool water to remove oil from your skin. You could use soap to remove it effectively. This will suit better for people with sensitive skin.
