Are Citrus Oils Safe in Skincare Recipes?

Hey there. Been looking at a lot of scrub recipes lately, and they tend to have things like lemon or orange essential oils in them. I thought that citrus essential oils were phototoxic? I had a terrible allergic reaction to cassia and eucalyptus oils once because I put them in my bath water, not knowing that they're never ever supposed to be used undiluted and that cassia shouldn't really go on skin at all. I ended up in the ER with an IV full of benadryl. I definitely don't want that to happen again. Is there a safe way to use citrus oils on skin?
