Re: [Everything doTERRA] help!! I need some advise!

Don't panic.  Just try to relax and accept that it will need a couple days to die down.  Reactions to oils are not common but they happen.  It likely will reach the height of reaction at about 24 hours.  (my personal experience).  The tender skin around your eyes is even most susceptible.  I react to the exact two oils that you mentioned.  However I learned that if I used a carrier with them I could apply them in on sensitive skin.  Experiment with the underside of your forearm. I usually mix 4 drops of carrier to one drop of lavender a bit more carrier with Tea Tree.  That works ok for me. 

Besides letting nature reduce the irritation.  Concider a cold wash cloth if it starts feeling itchy. 

Take a picture.  Their fun to look at later.  "these were my boxing years"

      The other day Sunday I had I think Pink Eye!!  So I started to
do Meleuca and Lavendar around my eye.  From the brow bone in a oval
circle to the top of my cheek bone and around.  I did this every few
minutes.  My eyes started to feel better.  My Doughter said what about
your skin senstivity to the oils.  I said I need to clear this up.
Well----Monday morning I could not see because my eyes were swollen
shut because of the swelling around where I had placed the oils.  I
only did one drop each time of each oil.  Well today they are still
swollen!! HELP what can i do that will take the swelling down and not
use oils please.  I believe in the oils, but I cannot use them on the
back of my neck on the inner arms and now my face!!!  I can use oil
everywhere else but these places.  Thanks for your help!!!   Gaye
