Apply essential oils without dilution, also known as "neat" application.

Some sources argue that you should never apply essential oils to you skin without diluting it in a carrier oil first because of the risk of sensitization and irritation.[6]But there have been some studies that have shown that neat applications can be helpful in some cases. For example, one study showed that a twice daily neat application of tea tree oil was effective against fungal infections on nails.[7] Therefore, you may want to consult an experienced aromatherapist before deciding to use neat applications of essential oils.
