With a unique spicy and tart citrus scent, Bergamot oil is a favorite among the oil obsessed<\/span><\/strong>. But being a Bergamot pro is more than being able to answer questions like \u201cWhat is Bergamot?\u201d and \u201cWhat does Bergamot smell like?\u201d It\u2019s knowing Bergamot oil uses, the benefits of Bergamot essential oil, and Bergamot\u2019s background. Check out our insider tips, tricks, and info to get on track to the pro league!<\/p>\n

\"LMC3503\"<\/a>1. Know the history<\/span><\/h2>\n

The quickest way to establish you\u2019re a pro is to know a little about the background of whatever you love\u2014in this case, Bergamot essential oil<\/a>! The bergamot orange is primarily cultivated in Italy and is about the size of an orange, with a yellow-green color that\u2019s similar to a lime. The rind of the fruit is cold pressed to extract the oil from the fruit and to get it into your hands. Most recognizably, Bergamot has been used as the flavoring in Earl Grey tea.<\/p>\n

2. Upgrade your skin care<\/span><\/h2>\n

Because of Bergamot\u2019s cleansing properties, you can find it in shampoos, soaps, cleansers, and skin care! Apply a drop to you skin or add the oil to your toner to create the appearance of smoother-looking skin. We suggest using it as part of your nighttime routine, since Bergamot comes with a photosensitivity warning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Use it for more than a great scent<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bergamot is known for its tart citrus scent, which makes it a popular top note for perfumes<\/a>. But it\u2019s so much more than a great-smelling essential oil! Bergamot oil<\/a> also helps bring a positive and uplifting environment when diffused, or in a pinch, you can place a drop in your palms, rub them together, and inhale directly during unsettling times.<\/p>\n

4. Make something unique<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bergamot is a great oil to diffuse on its own, but it also lends itself to delicious-smelling blends and custom creations. One of our favorite concoctions combines the sweet, tart scent of Bergamot, Lemongrass, and Grapefruit for an aroma reminiscent of chewy fruit candies\u2014without the consequences!<\/p>\n

5. Discover it in new places<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to your custom creations featuring Bergamot, you can also find it in Young Living\u2019s proprietary blends. Add even more Bergamot goodness to your day with popular essential oil blends such as Joy\u2122<\/a>,\u00a0Harmony\u2122<\/a>, and\u00a0Acceptance\u2122<\/a>!\"Bergamot<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Add some zest to your day<\/span><\/h2>\n

To truly be a pro, you have to use this citrus oil in every aspect of your life\u2014even your diet! Bergamot Vitality\u2122<\/a> has a fresh taste that\u2019s reminiscent of lemon and orange combined. Add a touch of tartness to your baked goods by combining a few drops of Bergamot Vitality with a natural agave sweetener to create a simple drizzle you can use to top muffins, breads, and pastries.<\/p>\n
