Help! My skin smells like my essential oils!
I made some homemade cleaners for the first time today (yay!). It went well, but my hands smell very strongly of the essential oil I used. One of my dropper cap thingys broke and getting the right amount of drops out became messy. I like the scent in small doses, but my hands reek of lemon and it's giving me a headache. Any ideas of how to get my skin smelling normal again? I have sensitive skin, but I'm willing to abuse it a little to make the smell and accompanying headache go away.

Re: Help! My skin smells like my essential oils!
do you think rubbing stainless steel would help? I know they make those stainless steel soap bars to help get rid of onion and garlic smell on hands.

Soak your hands on vinegar?
But then you'll smell like that...

I'd try rubbing your hands with some kind of oil and then washing with washing up liquid

Maybe rub them in baking soda? Worth a try.
