Organic Fantastic: Tea Tree Oil

We've all got a vague general knowledge about using natural products for health and beauty but once your eyes have been opened up to how amazingly effective they are, you can't help but rave about them.  So that's exactly what I'm going to do about Tea Tree Oil! :)

We've probably all been afflicted with an unattractive zit from time to time, and most of us are familiar with tea tree being used in spot treatments and facial washes.  I was unfortunate enough to suffer from teenage acne up until recently and have always resorted to using them to get rid of spots.  Although it's not a huge issue for me anymore, I do still get the occasional bazinga.

Tea Tree Oil

I saw this 10ml bottle of 100% pure essential tea tree oil in my local pound shop so decided to give it a go.  On the bottle it advises to apply a couple of drops on a cotton bud and apply as required.  However, please note that this is an essential oil, so is very strong so apply with caution! You may have to dilute it with another oil such as almond oil before using directly on the face.

Did you know that Tea Tree oil is an antifungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-septic, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory?  I think thats very impressive, considering its 100% pure natural! I also read online it is great for other conditions such as athletes foot, eczema and even headlice!

A little of this goes a long way, and using this is quite addictive! I've added drops of this in my hair conditioner, my night time moisturiser and personally have noticed a big improvement.
