Tea Tree Oil - Page 2

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.

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. ${#emotions_dlg.mad}$

Kat, you're so funny..don't you love it when your skin LIKES a product!

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?

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:-)

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.
