How to Use Rose Geranium Essential Oil for Skin and Aroma

Quick answer

Dilute rose geranium essential oil in a carrier oil for skin application, or use a few drops in a diffuser for a sweet, floral aroma.

How to use rose geranium essential oil safely and effectively

1. Dilute for skin application: Mix 2–3 drops of rose geranium essential oil with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond oil. Apply to a small patch of skin first to test for sensitivity. Never apply undiluted essential oil directly to skin – it can cause irritation.
2. Add to a warm water diffuser: Fill your ultrasonic diffuser with water according to the manufacturer's instructions, then add 3–5 drops of rose geranium oil. Run the diffuser in a well-ventilated room for 30–60 minutes. Start with fewer drops – rose geranium has a strong scent and you can always add more.
3. Use a simple steam inhalation: Add 1–2 drops to a bowl of hot water. Lean over the bowl with a towel over your head and breathe deeply for 5–10 minutes. Keep your eyes closed to avoid irritation. Do not use boiling water – let it cool slightly to avoid steam burns.
