You may experience elderly clients with fragile skin and care needs to be taken.

Fragile skin tends to bruise easy and may tear if pressure is too heavy. A little light massage to the surrounding areas, can improve circulation and be quite helpful.

When using essential oils, use in low concentrations on the skin as some oils can irritate the skin.

Avoid using citrus oils that are phototoxic and advise to avoid exposure to sunlight or uv rays for at least 12 hours after use and Thyme can be a potent irritant to people with sensitive or fragile skins. Only use in very low doses.
