3. In the diffuser

If you want your house to smell like a spa, and need a little help to unwind then you can add your favourite essential oil in your diffuser. Any type of essential oil works great. Also, using essential oils in a diffuser is a more environmentally-friendly and natural alternative to bottled air fresheners as well.

Tree-tea oil is the holy grail for acne-prone skin, lavender oil helps you get glowing skin and geranium oil helps to tighten your skin.

6. Clean your fruits and vegetables

Add a few drops of lemon oil in a bowl of water and dunk your produce in the bowl and swish it around to clean them before use.

7. You can use it to deodorize your fridge

Sometimes your fridge stinks up because of an open container of food, or fresh cut raw onion. If that happens you can use lemon essential oil to help you neutralise that smell. All you need is lemon essential oil and baking soda, add 15 drops of lemon essential oil to a small box of baking soda and store it in your fridge. This will help keep your fridge smelling fresh atleast for a whole month.
