When this happens there’s usually some residue from the product in my tresses which isn’t ideal because not only does it smell bad (which means less likely hoodies), but also causes tangles when brushing through next day–yuck!–so knowing about these two benefits helped me remember again just why its important always applying moisturizer before bedtime
Risks Of Using Patchouli Oil
The essential oils in this product are very concentrated and can burn the skin if not diluted properly. Therefore, caution must always be used when applying them to sensitive or damaged areas of your body like inner elbows where irritation has been known due improper use by some people who don’t know what they’re doing as well those with more severe reactions such I had!
