Tea tree oil is rich in antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, all of which are essential in maintaining skin’s health and beauty.
Reduces Acne
The antibacterial properties in tea tree oil help in reducing acne. Hence, if you have acne prone skin, apply tea tree oil or switch to tea tree oil based products.
Heals Minor Wounds
Tea tree oil helps in speeding the healing of minor wounds. They also help in warding off certain bacterial infections.
Enhances Skin's Glow
Tea tree oil improves the texture and tone of the skin. Apply the oil directly on the face or dilute it with coconut oil.
Prevents Insect Bites
Tea tree oil has a distinct smell which shrugs the mosquitoes off. Apply it on the skin like a body lotion or moisturiser before leaving the house.
Tea tree oil is highly concentrated, which means that it can burn if applied directly. Hence, do a patch test or dilute it with almond or coconut oil.
