    Yes, you need to dilute it - it's too strong to put on your face all by itself. Here's some options:

    Add 1 drop to a nickel-sized amount of facial cleanser or moisturizer. Mix it together in the palm of your hand, then apply to your face.

    Add a few drops to a cup of witch hazel or vinegar for an oil-reducing facial toner. Use after cleansing, before moisturizing. Here's a link to an acne toner recipe you can make with Lemongrass.
