Hello fellow practitioners, howdy? :)
Any of you had work with oils for your craft before?
I am trying a spell but its potion uses almond oil, orange oil and citrus and I am afraid that if I anoint myself with it and go into the sunlight I might get sunburns or sunspots.
I read that using a carrier oil (in this case almond) could help but I am not savvy enough tbh.
What do you think or reccomend?
Hey! Is this in regard to Essential Oils? If so, definitely dilute in a carrier oil, as many EO's can be really strong for topical use and might give you some skin irritation if used without one! As far as a sunburn, it shouldn't speed up the rate one would normally burn/tan in the sun but you do not have to apply the oil all over, you could just anoint certain points (i.e. wrists, crown, etc.). If you are especially worried, you could apply sunscreen before the oil which should protect from any possible burns. Hope this helped!
