How do you apply peppermint oil?

I bought some peppermint oil to boost my beard and eyebrows gains, but idk how to apply it without itching my skin. Should it be mixed with water? Couldn't find any advice on the web lol.

You can't apply pure peppermint oil directly onto your skin.

You have to dilute it in a carrier oil like castor oil or jojoba oil. Dilute it to about 5% that's usually a good number.

Pretty much every concentrated oil needs a carrier oil. Look into using rosemary oil instead of peppermint, I believe I saw something about T involved. You can use castor, jojoba, coconut, olive, etc.

Oh really...

I've been applying straight up pure peppermint oil on eyelashes for months now

does it not sting for you?

You have to dilute it with another oil or it will burn super bad
Possibly burn skin if you put it on raw

Okay, so I make a dilution with 2-3 drops of peppermint oil and apply it all onto my skin? Or just dilute a bigger amount at once and store it in a big bottle to use it daily?

I go with the latter.

I also put some drops into my shampoo/conditioner.

Well, i applied only one drop everyday, and i got quite decent changes. It was challenge to stick to routine, but combining every day ever i applied this, i think i have one month result
