When summer heat feels a little too intense, these essential oils are the ones I keep reaching for.

🌿 Peppermint & Spearmint
Instant cooling favorites for hot days. Try rolling onto the neck, shoulders, or feet for a refreshing sensation.

🌿 Lavender
Perfect after being out in the heat too long. Great for relaxing, calming the skin, and winding down after a sunny day.

🌿 Sandalwood
Cooling, grounding, and especially nice for sun-exposed or irritated skin.

🌿 Eucalyptus
Fresh, crisp, and incredibly refreshing during hot weather while also supporting the skin.

🌿 Basil
One of the most underrated summer oils. Fresh, cooling, and surprisingly energizing thanks to its naturally high linalool content.

Quick Tip: Add a few ice cubes to DIY cooling sprays and keep them in the fridge for an extra refreshing boost.

Dry, rough hands after gardening, crafting, working in the garage, or constantly washing them?

Not all citrus oils are automatically photosensitive… and the way an oil is extracted actually matters more than most people realize. ☀️

For example, distilled Lime essential oil is considered non-phototoxic, while cold-pressed Lime can increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV rays.

Some single oils that may cause photosensitive reactions include:
• Bergamot
• Grapefruit
• Lemon
• Lime
• Wild Orange
• Tangerine
• Kumquat
• Cumin

A few blends can also increase sun sensitivity because they contain citrus oils, including:
• Citrus Bliss®
• Citrus Bloom®
• On Guard®
• Purify®
• MetaPWR®
• Zendocrine®
…and several others.

The safest thing you can do? Always check the label directions before applying oils topically and spending extended time outdoors.

Have you ever heard that some essential oils and sunshine don’t mix well?

Certain oils can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays, a reaction known as phototoxicity or photosensitivity. This can happen when specific oils are applied to the skin before spending time in direct sunlight (yes, also tanning beds)

Possible reactions may include:

• Redness

• Burning

• Itching

• Blistering

• Skin discoloration

These reactions can sometimes show up within hours after sun exposure and may become fairly intense depending on the oil used, the amount applied, and how long you stay in the sun.

Quick errands outside usually aren’t a big concern, but long beach days, gardening, pool time, or outdoor sports are where extra caution matters most.

As a general rule, avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least 12–72 hours after applying phototoxic oils to the skin.

Next up: which essential oils you should be careful with in the sun.
