Yes. Lavender is one of the very few essential oils that can be used 'neat'. Be sure that your essential oil is actually pure Lavender, rather than an essential oil that has been cut or a Lavandin. Please apply the oil somewhere else on your body first.

Lavender and Tea Tree oil are two oils that you can apply directly to skin without mixing with a carrier oil. However, you still do need to be careful and avoid the eye area. Tea tree oil is great for blemishes and helps to dry them up. And Lavender, works kind of the same way and is really soothing. I have a spray bottle filled with water and I add lavender and tea tree oil to it (about 8 drops each). It is very refreshing just to mist on whenever, and I also use it as a toner at bedtime.
Don't put any oil directly on the face, it clogs pores... dilute it with water if you want to put it on your face.
dont do it coz it will irritate your skin. mix it with a carrier oil like almond oil or jojoba oil. If ur using 1 drop of the essential oil 2 ml (not drops) carrier oil should be mixed.
There are many types of oils and not all of them are bad for your skin. As long as it is a true essential oil, not a perfume or fragrance oil, lavender is ok to use on your skin. Tea tree oil is ok for non-sensitive skin types. Sometimes it is best to mix in with a good quality carrier oil to help it soak in better and be less irritating. Jojoba oil is similar to the sebum that your skin produces and works well for skin oil blends. It is more expensive than other oils though.
Oil on your face isn't good, and lavender is very strongly scented and can irritate your skin.
