Essential Oils

It’s time to open your Lime essential oila mini tropical vacation in a bottle! Young Living extracts bright, zesty Lime oil by cold-pressing the rinds of fresh limes (Citrus aurantifolia). We think this oil is the best way to add zip to your day, and there are so many Lime oil uses to do just that!

What does Lime essential oil do for you?

If you want to brighten your skin, freshen up the smell of your home, or add a dash of zesty flavor to a meal, Lime essential oil has you covered.

 

Tried and true tips:

Even if you are a total beginner to essential oils, these Lime oil uses are easy to follow and will show you the ropes for this tart oil.

 

Beat the heat with a cool compress!

Summer days are the best, but sometimes they can be a bit much! Balance things out with some refreshing Lime.

  • Wet and wring out a towel.
  • Add 2 drops of Lime and 1 drop of Lavender essential oil.
  • Roll up the towel and put it in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Apply to forehead and neck to cool down.

No vacation is complete without some spa time. Use this recipe to pamper your skin the way it deserves.

  • Add 2 drops of Lime essential oil to a moist cotton pad or ball.
  • Apply to the face as part of nighttime skin routine.
  • Note: this oil is photosensitive, so don’t apply before going into the sun and harmful UV rays!

Treat your scalp to some rejuvenation!

We’re looking for beach days, not bad hair days! Get your scalp feeling clean and fresh with this recipe.

In a small bowl, mix:

  • A small amount of coconut oil
  • 2 drops of Lime
  • 2 drops of Cedarwood

Massage into the scalp for 3-5 minutes.

Wash your hair as normal.

 

YL tip: Is Lime oil good for hair?

Yes! This exotic-smelling oil moisturizes the scalp and hair, so you can say goodbye to dull locks!

 

Revitalize the fridge

Open your refrigerator door and experience a cool lime breeze!

  • Add a few drops of Lime to a fresh box of baking soda.
  • Store in the fridge to absorb odors.

Scrub away your troubles

Sometimes the most relaxing thing of all is seeing your house absolutely sparkle.

 In a bucket or spray bottle:

  • Add 10 drops each of Lime and Tea Tree.
  • Add ½ cup of water and ½ cup of white vinegar.
  • Use as an all-purpose cleaner.

Mix it up! Try some fun essential oil combos
