Question:

What's the best way to apply tea tree oil to my face?

I have very oily, acne prone skin, and I've heard that tea tree oil, if applied properly to the face, is very effective if used long term. I don't get too many blemishes, but I sure did today, so I'm going to start incorporating it into my regimen. My idea is to mix a drop with my cleanser, but are there other ways to apply it as well? Would it still be effective since I rinse it off when I rinse the cleanser off? Thanks for any help!

  1. Try putting it on before you go to bed so it can work all night long. Then wash it off in the morning when you get up.

    If you want to put it on during the day, try to dab some of it on with a q-tip then blotting it with a tissue paper or cotton ball.


  2. At one point in time, I added TTO to my shampoo and it helped clear up my dry flaky scalp.  Also, you for case, I think it is a wonderful idea to add it to your cleanser.  Depending on the size of your cleanser, I would probably add more than 1 drop.  I would also add it to moisturizer, or sunblock that you put on daily.   I would not apply the direct oil to your face, it will not blend well, and may be too strong undiluted.

    Also, FYI - another great essential oil for healing properties is Lavender.  I would add that to your cleanser and moisturizer as well.

    Thanks for reading!
