Spearmint - Hundreds of varieties of mint exist, one of the oldest and most popular being spearmint.

Tangerine -  Tangerines are a widely cultivated citrus fruit worldwide (second in popularity only to the sweet orange). The sweetest of citrus fruits, tangerines are hybrids of mandarins, with a comparatively stronger, more concentrated flavor than the sweet orange. These small, juicy fruits have a thin peel, which is where the essential oil resides. Tangerine oranges are believed to have been developed in Morocco and gets their name from the stylish seaport city of Tangier, where visiting Europeans and Americans first became enamored with them in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These dainty fruits were then brought to Europe and the Americas and became known as tangerines, which literally means “from Tangier.”

Aromatically - Fresh and tangy, the aroma of Tangerine essential oil becomes a quick favorite to many people. Diffuse Tangerine—or use it aromatically another way—to create an atmosphere that’s bright and cheerful.

 

Topically - When applied topically, Tangerine is cleansing and purifying. Place a drop in your evening facial cleanser for a boost or use it with your nightly moisturizer, enjoying the sweet and subtle scent on your skin.

Or take care to apply it somewhere that will be covered from the sun. It’s best to avoid sunlight or UV rays for 12 hours after topical application of a citrus oil.
