Tea Tree Oil

Katluvr58 — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 04:06:32 GMT

For the ladies who have blackheads and large pores I recommend tea tree oil. This stuff is amazing (stinks a bit though but just for a minute). My nose pores are almost totally gone and I don't have a blemish or red spot anywhere. I have a spot on my stomach that the cat scratched and I was getting worried because it was really red. I put tea tree on it twice today and it is not as puffy. It is pink but not red anymore. Even a milia I've had under my lip for years that comes and goes is finally really going away.

Do you mix the tea tree oil with a carrier oil? You should not apply essential oils directly on skin; however, I spilled peppermint oil and it got on my fingers. I was buzzing around for about an hour with energy. ha! Essential oils do work.

I burn tea tree oil with orange oil or tangerine oil (use a little more orange) 40/60. The tea tree oil cleans the air especially if you are sick but I love the two oils together. House smells great.

Oohhhhh!!! I did not know this, lol, but I could use a buzz. Would Rose Hip apply? I use that one with the tea tree. I've got good skin and no buzz, lol. Darn.

I think this website is sick. Rose hip is a little heavy, carrier oils like almond oil, borage seed oil, grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, sesame oil just to name a few. If the rose hip oil is what you like go ahead and use it. If the oil did not bother you directly on the skin then I would not worry about it but you can always do a Google for more info on it. Peppermint oil is a stimulate. Tea tree has antiseptic properties.

I've used tea tree for years, and unfortunately does not keep my pores consistently clear, but it's antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties are good for keeping acne inflammation under control. It has properties that actually kill the acne bacteria strain. I still need to use enzyme and deep exfoliation to keep my stubborn, enlarged (inherited) pores clean. I add it to my own homemade facial sprays. I also use it straight for reducing skin tags. Works wonderfully for those and inbedded milia. It does smell quite a bit, but dissipates after awhile. Also great for dandruff if added to your shampoo or conditioner. I'm happy for all that have discovered its' uses. :-)

I love this oil. I don't have acne but I do get milia and red spots. I spent months fighting red spots and after using the tea tree religiously they have not reappeared. I use a home made face spray also. I mix tea tree, rose hip and argon with distilled water. I spray some on my skin before I apply any other products. I had asked about a milia under my lip that has been coming and going for years. I finally figure I am getting rid of that thing once and for all. I would dot some lactic/glycolic peel on it and after washing it off I applied the tea tree oil. It is gone now but I still apply tea tree twice a day. Yesterday I found tea tree blemish patches from Korea that I ordered. I dare any zit to try appearing, lol.

Of course, I woke up with a zit under bottom lip this morning I'm not prone to getting a lot of zits. It's probably stress. My boys went back to school today. One is starting Middle School and the other High School. Of course, I'm worried about them both. LOL. Is it me or did summer fly by? Anyway, I can't wait to put some tea tree on it:-)

I have a bottle in each bathroom & an extra on hand. I won't be without it. I use it for all kinds of cuts & scrapes. I have been using it straight for years with no problems. If you have sensitive skin you can dilute it with coconut oil or other carrier oil.

My naturopath recommends TTO but she stressed the importance of diluting it for most uses if it is in contact with the skin. She recommended buying pure organic aloe vera and putting about 10 drops of the oil into a 4 oz bottle of the aloe. She said if its used without being diluted allergies can occur if prolonged use of the undiluted oil occurs. My friend used it for his feet daily and he used it without diluting and about 3 months later, he had a horrible allergic rash.

I accidentally happened upon a Tea Tree Oil powder from E.L.F., called a "Mineral Blemish Kit". I bought a few of them since they were cheap and I needed to reach a minimum for free shipping, but now it doesn't look like they have them online anymore. It works great for those surprise zits that come out of nowhere. When I eventually run out, I hope I'll find a good replacement that's also in powder form.

I have heard that TTO is very good if you have toenail fungus.

Are you referring to a tea tree blemish powder? Do you have an item number, product name, or link?

My daughter starts early college tomorrow and so I understand completely. A 16 year old girl going to classes with college age boys. Not being a biased mother but she is really cute too and friendly. I gave her a ton of rules. No getting in cars with boys, no hanging out with college aged boys and no walking alone from one building to another.
