Lomasathana Thailam is a strong Ayurvedic oil mainly used to reduce unwanted hair, not for general daily skin care. Since your skin is sensitive, it should not be applied directly. Always dilute it with a mild carrier oil like coconut or almond oil and do a patch test first. If any irritation occurs, stop using it. For overall skin health, gentler oils are more suitable.
