The process is called "cold pressing". Better to do it yourself. The process below is used for peeling limes, but works for oranges, lemons, and other fruits.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Sieve

1. 1 Wash fruits, hands and everything else, make sure everything is clean.
2. 2 Peel the lemons with a knife, be careful not to make a deep cut.
3. 3 Use leftovers. When the lemon is peeled, you can use the leftovers for food, etc. Or just make juice out of the leftovers.
4. 4 Take a jar and sieve. Place the sieve on top and start squeezing / pressing the skin against the sieve. After one to two seconds, you will begin to feel that the oil extract is being released. Keep the oil extract.
5. 5 Everything. You can wear the remnants of the peel on your wrist or neck as a decoration.

Method 2 of 3: Getting Oil Using Garlic Press

1. 1 Wash your hands and fruit.
2. 2 Peel the fruit.
3. 3 Place the fruit in a garlic press. You can do it in parts.
4. 4 Press on the fruit until all the juice is squeezed out. Don't lose anything.
5. 5 Pour the oil into a jar or container.

Method 3 of 3: Use the oil like perfume

The oil is used to make perfume.

1. 1 Use vodka and good-smelling plants like lilacs, lavender, etc.etc.
2. 2 Pour 5 tablespoons of oil and 4 tablespoons of vodka together. Add this mixture to flowers.
3. 3 Leave the flowers like this for a day or two. For more flavor, keep it on longer.
4. 4 Get the flowers out. Pour the liquid into the bottle. It is best to use a spray bottle.
5. 5 Use as needed. Spray onto your skin.
   • Always test on your skin first to see how it will react to oil.
   • No need to splash citrus oil on your skin during the day, it is suitable for the evening.
