Here, we’ll talk about some of its benefits and how to safely use it in everyday skin and hair care.

Skin, Hair and Health Benefits of Tea Tree Essential Oil

1. MOISTURIZES DRY SKIN

   Tea Tree essential oil has a moisturizing effect, which helps to soothe dry skin, as well as reduce itching and irritation. If you’re suffering from dandruff or dry scalp, add a few drops to a carrier oil (such as olive or coconut) and apply to your scalp. You can also apply the mixture to your beard to use as a beard oil, or to any dry area on your face or body as a natural moisturizer.

2. PROMOTES HAIR GROWTH

   Tea Tree oil stimulates and increases blood flow near the hair follicles, which promotes healthy hair growth. Apply a few drops to the scalp daily, diluted in a carrier oil (we recommend Argan oil), and experience its hair growth and scalp healing benefits.

3. REMOVES SKIN TAGS

   Tea Tree oil is an effective treatment for skin tags due to its antibacterial properties. By dabbing 2-3 drops of the essential oil (properly diluted) to the skin, the essential oil will quickly dissolve the skin tags in no time.

4. PREVENTS OILY SKIN

   The antiseptic properties of Tea Tree oil contribute to its ability to combat oily skin, helping to remove surface oils without over drying or causing irritation. Simply add a few drops to your daily moisturizer or directly to the skin, properly diluted in a carrier oil (we recommend Rosehip Seed Oil) to remove oils and help even skin tone.

5. TREATS DARK SPOTS

   Since Tea Tree oil is rich in healing properties, it helps to quickly heal and reduce the appearance of scars that cause discoloration, dark spots and hyper-pigmentation.

6. REDUCES INFLAMMATION

   Because of its anti-inflammatory benefits, this healing essential oil calms redness, swelling and inflammation. It also helps to prevent and reduce acne scars, leaving the skin smooth and silky. Simply add a couple of drops of Tea Tree oil to a carrier oil or your daily moisturizer and apply it to the affected area several times a day.

7. CURES ACNE

   Acne is usually caused by oily skin and Tea Tree oil can clarify the skin by lifting the oil and removing dirt and impurities from clogged pores. The strong antibacterial properties of Tea Tree oil also help to reduce acne-causing bacteria on the skin in order to eliminate acne and prevent it from reappearing. You can mix 2-3 drops of the essential oil with a carrier oil then apply it onto the skin as a toner, face wash or moisturizer.

8. ANTISEPTIC FOR CUTS AND SCRAPES

   Because of Tea Tree oil’s strong antibacterial properties, it can be used to disinfect minor cuts, scrapes and wounds. By killing the bacteria, it helps to prevent infections and quickly heal the skin. Keep Tea Tree oil in your First Aid kit and use it as an alternative to medicated creams.

9. CURES NAIL FUNGUS

   Tea Tree oil is not only antibacterial, it also has strong anti-fungal properties, which make it an excellent choice for curing nail fungus and other skin infections. Dilute a few drops in coconut or olive oil and add directly to infected areas.
