Tea Tree AKA Melaleuca Alternifolia is best known for its astringent, anti-inflammatory & antibacterial qualities. It’s usually ideal for oily & acne prone skin. Benefits include healing & skin barrier balancing properties. Did you know: Melaleuca/Tea Tree is a small tree native to Australia... the oil has been used by Aborigines for centuries!
I most often utilize Melaleuca oil as a natural remedy acne spot treatment - this is not for everyone because it has a very strong scent...but I actually really love it (although my husband can’t stand it). It can also be drying and sometimes cause irritation.
For years, tea tree oil has been showing up in skincare and haircare products - I first found it at my neighborhood health food store...but now, brands like Sunday Riley, Iunik, CosRx, Dr. Ceuracle and many more have developed innovative new ways to utilize the power of this oil in highly refined formulas - and I say thanks so much because I’m really loving the soothing benefits of these elegant serums, toners, essences, and treatments!
Have you used products with Tea Tree Oil? Let me know if you have a favorite.
