Benefits Of Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil has a plethora of benefits. It is incredibly useful for controlling acne because the terpenes in the oil help to kill the bacteria that can cause acne and inflammation. A study done on acne found that applying topical 5% tea tree oil was an effective treatment for mild to moderate acne. Tea tree oil should be one of the top five essential oils in your home. (Along with lavender, lemon, eucalyptus, and dragon time)
Facial scarring
Acne can often leave scars that never disappear, and store-bought scar reducing creams contain harsh chemicals that could dry out and potentially harm the skin even more. Tea tree oil is a natural and cost-effective way to help with scar healing and lightening. Help your skin stay fresh and bring out that natural glow.
Cell rejuvenation
After cleansing your face and patting to dry, try this cleansing moisturizer: combine a pea-sized amount of moisturizer with 2-3 drops of tea tree oil. Gently massage this blend into your face, and it will hydrate your skin whilst protecting against blackheads.
Sinus + congestion
Tea tree oil can destroy bad bacteria that cause colds, congestion, and sinus infections. In the colder months, or anytime you are feeling a bit clammy; you can make a chest balm by rubbing an almond oil mixed with 2-3 drops of tea tree oil on your chest. On children younger than the age of twelve, place two drops of tea tree oil and a tablespoon amount of Vaseline to the chest area and the soles of the feet.
