While lemons may inspire thoughts of summer and sipping cooling lemonade while lounging by the pool, lemons any time of year lift the spirit. They have a delightful aroma, a pleasing taste, and are packed with Vitamin C. It’s no wonder that lemon essential oil takes its place among the 10 most popular essential oils. “The oil distilled from the rind of Citrus limon is probably the most widely used essential oil in the world today,” writes Natural Living Ideas.
Offering a range of benefits, including stimulating, calming, anti-infection, disinfectant, and anti-fungal, lemon essential oil finds its way into a range of products, notes Organic Facts. You’ll find lemon essential oil in household products, including furniture polishes and cleansers. Because of its refreshing and distinct aroma, it’s also a widely used ingredient for perfumes and potpourris. And its antiseptic properties make it a desirable ingredient for many personal care products, such as soaps and face washes.

Possessing both a calming fragrance, the lemon essential oil is highly popular for aromatherapy. It is used to help relieve stress, mental fatigue, anxiety, and nervousness. Organic Facts says that “it can refresh the mind by creating a positive mindset and eliminating negative feelings. Also, the oil is thought to increase concentration and alertness, which is why you find it in many air freshener products.
Lemon essential oil blends well with many other essential oils, including lavender essential oil, rose oil, sandalwood oil, geranium essential oil, ylang-ylang essential oil, and tea tree essential oil.
Skin Care benefits
Lemon essential oil has several skincare benefits. Its astringent and oil control properties make it a good facial toner. It reduces excess skin oils and shrinks pores. Used a toner, the essential oil also helps control acne outbreaks. It also helps prevent aging because it can aid in skin exfoliation—the very high amount of Vitamin C in lemon essential oil aids in reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
