TEA TREE essential oil is prized for its cleansing qualities.
Dr. Lin says most people use tea tree oil as an antiseptic, antimicrobial or antifungal. You can also use it to help with:
-
Acne
Take a cotton swab and dip it into tea tree essential oil. Then, apply it directly on the acne — this is one exception where you don’t have to dilute it,” says Dr. Lin. “It can help resolve acne faster.” -
Athlete’s foot and ringworms
Dilute it with a carrier oil and put the blend on the affected skin.”
One note of caution: Since tea tree oil can be neurotoxic, Dr. Lin says you shouldn’t diffuse it if you have small children or animals at home. (The Cleveland Clinic)
