TEA TREE OIL FOR ACNE, DON’T MAKE THESE MISTAKES
Tea Tree Oil can be an awesome spot treatment for speeding up healing of pimples and breakouts, but there’s certain things you need to watch out for, and not do.
Recently I received an email from one of our subscribers, Danielle, asking if she could add it to her moisturizer for a full face treatment for breakouts and acne?
I get asked this a lot because you’d think if Tea Tree Oil is such a good spot treatment, why not just add it to your moisturizer or toner to treat your entire face and prevent pimples from coming back? Easy, right?
Well, when I received this question from Danielle, it instantly gave me flashbacks of my countless DIY experiments that went terribly wrong. I’m talking red face that takes weeks to heal wrong.
I don’t want Danielle, or you, to make those same mistakes.
So when it comes to Tea Tree Oil and pimples, using it as a spot treatment is completely different to using it all over your face, even if you were to mix it with an oil or moisturizer.
Tea Tree Oil is strong. I would actually go as far to say that ALL essential oils are strong, and if you use them the wrong way, it can do more harm than good.
What comes to mind when I think of overusing Tea Tree Oil is it can potentially irritate your skin, dry it out, throw your skin’s ph balance off, interfere with your skin’s moisture barrier, and make your skin more susceptible to photosensitivity and sun damage.
When used properly, Tea Tree Oil can be a fantastic spot treatment that speeds up the healing of blemishes and pimples, but I would only use it where it needs to be used, and never on your entire face.
To ensure that you are using Tea Tree Oil properly, and getting all the pimple vanishing benefits from it, check out today’s article and video below!
HOW TO USE TEA TREE OIL TO CLEAR UP BLEMISHES AND BREAKOUTS
- Only use it as a spot treatment (can be used neat or diluted)
- Use it at the end of your skin care routine after you’ve cleansed and moisturized your face (this will prevent spreading the Tea Tree Oil to other parts of your face)
- Put 1-2 drops of Tea Tree Oil in the palm of your hand, and using your ring finger, gently dab it only your pimples. Don’t rub, just dab. Allow it to absorb into your skin, and don’t touch your face
- ONLY use it at night (I wouldn’t use undiluted essential oils on your skin during the day, you don’t want to risk sun damage or photosensitivity)
- Use only once at night, preferably every other night (some people can tolerate using it every night, but most people are better off using it every other night to avoid any sensitivity or drying out your skin)
HOW NOT TO USE TEA TREE OIL
- Only use it as a spot treatment, never put it all over your face
- Don’t add it to your moisturizer, facial oil, serum, face mask or toner if you’re going to apply it all over your face (diluting or mixing Tea Tree Oil with other skincare products to make a spot treatment is fine)
- After dabbing Tea Tree Oil on a pimple, never cover it with anything like a bandage or plastic
- Don’t use Tea Tree Oil in conjunction with other spot treatments or other acne treatment products containing active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, retinols or Retin-A, salicylic acid, etc. Best to use one or the other, not both!
- Never use Tea Tree Oil more than once a day – less is more!
- Don’t use it on your skin if your skin is dry, flaking, scaly, or irritated
- If it burns, dries out your skin, or makes your skin red – stop using it
- Don’t ever use Tea Tree Oil right after exercising. Wait until your body and skin has cooled down before using it (I would wait at least an hour after exercising).
- Take a break from using Tea Tree Oil while you’re spending a lot of time out doors in the sun (like going on a beach vacation).
