Tea Tree Oil For Acne
By Alwyn Tan

Hey gentlemen and ladies, guys and girls. Today, I would be discussing on the topic of “tea tree oil for acne.” Tea tree oil is quite a powerful cure for acne as many of you have heard of. Before I delve more into its acne-killing properties, let’s take a history lesson about it first. Tea tree oil is one of the many essential oils such as Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Lemon. It comes from the very therapeutic and medicinal valued Melaleuca Alternafolia tree in Australia. Tea tree oil comes from steam distillation of the leaves of the tree. Tea tree oil has been used natively since a long time ago and in World War 2, it was used as a disinfectant.

Tea tree oil contains 3 powerful properties that led to its wide use. It contains powerful antibacterial, antiseptic and anti fungal properties, making it very versatile and at the same time without compromising on any of the 3 properties. Other than lavender oil, tea tree is the only other oil that can be applied on the skin without any carrier oil, and is 100% concentrate, rendering effectiveness with just a very small amount. The natural disinfectant excels in killing bacteria on wounds, bruises etc. Therefore, it is also as powerful to acne.

Tea tree oil is commonly sold as a concentrated spot treatment in an oil/gel based form, or a diluted face wash. From people’s experiences, going for the concentrated tea tree oil spot treatment method is the most effective way tp do it. Applying a few drops of the oil or the gel directly to acne spots will kill the camping bacteria and dry up the affected region potentially as quickly as overnight. Many people find that the drying is not as severe as compared with other over the counter acne products such as benzoyl peroxide. The oil doesn’t bleach your clothing either. It is around the same price as BP, but last longer.

Tea tree oil is tolerated only for those with really sensitive skin. For such cases, the user can dilute the oil so that it isn’t as strong during each application. If you encounter any adverse reactions or discomfort after using it, stop and go visit your dermatologist, not a normal doctor. It is a excellent alternative spot treatment that isn’t as harsh as BP.

Lastly, tea tree oil is all natural so don’t fear of any side effects or clogging of pores!
