You should never apply an essential oil directly to your skin as they are highly concentrated. However, if it's contained in a carrier oil with a ratio of 1 drop peppermint oil per 1 tsp-tbsp of carrier (coconut, olive etc.) then yes it's perfectly ok, but peppermint oil will always tingle/burn slightly due to its menthol content. Different peoples skins are more sensitive to peppermint oil than others so test it on a less sensitive part of your skin first, (wrist, neck, cheek) and use a less concentrated ratio if you experience irritation.
