How to Use Tea Tree Oil to Cure Acne

Acne is not just a teenage a problem, it is also common in adults. It’s a skin disease that does not respect age, sex, status or race. Its psychological effect can be very damning especially to teenagers. Are you getting fed up with this acne stuff? Just relax and let me share with you a natural holistic approach to becoming acne free by simply using Tea tree oil.

Tea tree oil is extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca Alternifolia in Australia and is known to contain antiseptic properties that are very useful skin disinfectant. Unlike other teas, tea tree oil is steamed by distillation to prevent the oxidation of the leaves, thus retaining the active substance. Pure, unadulterated tea tree oil can be found in health stores.

Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, between 5 – 10% solutions twice a day will be adequate. Tea tree oil is preferred to benzyl peroxide in treating acne because the later has been found to have side effect on the users.

Application:
From experience, some people suffering from acne complained about their skin’s sensitivity to tea tree oil. I will advise you start out with a very mild solution. Here are the tips:
  • Splash your face with cold water, and then rinse it with warm water Dilute 5 part tea tree oil with 95 part water (e.g 5ml tea tree oil and 95ml water)
  • Dip a cotton wool inside the solution and apply gently over the affected area.
  • Repeat this daily (morning and night) until considerable result is achieved.
