You can, if you're referring to the essential oil (usually found in a 10ml bottle), but it's not highly recommended. I would recommend even adding two or three drops to 1ml of a carrier oil just to be on the safe side. If you're referring to a lavender oil from Glade or some major brand like that, the simple answer is: absolutely not.

That said, lavender and tea tree are the ONLY two essential oils that can be applied neat (or in other words, not diluted) to the skin. This does change when it comes to elderly or infants however due to more sensitive skin, but generally has no adverse side effects in healthy adults.

What are some common carrier oils involved with essential oils?

Carrier oils are oils that you add essential oils to for application to the skin. Most essential oils are not recommended for direct application without substantial dilution. The most common carrier oils are light of fragrance, easily absorbed by the skin and often bring something beneficial to the mix. I tend to use sweet almond oil in most of my blends. It is easily obtainable, relatively inexpensive and not prone to people being allergic to it. For dry skin you can use: cocoa butter, olive oil, palm oil or peanut oil. For all skin types you can use: calendula infused oil, jojoba oil, or soybean oil. For oily skin you can use grape seed oil, sunflower oil or walnut oil.
