How To - Tea Tree Oil

I don't know about you beauties, but I love DIY projects especially when they can benefit my skin! You may have heard of some DIY projects which include tea tree oil, which is a Australian anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Now you can find it for fairly cheap (I got mine at The Body Shop - 0.33fl oz for $9) however I don't like to waste products so I wanted to find a few different uses for this oil. There are countless was to use this oil, but here are two ways that I have been enjoying and hope you do as well.

 

Soften Skin & Kill Bacteria: 

What you'll Need: 

4 Tablespoons clay

2 Tablespoons plain yogurt

4 Teaspoons water

2 Drops tea tree oil

1. Mix all of the four ingredients together to form a thick paste. 
2. On a clean face - apply all over with your fingers
3. Wait... leave on for approximately 15 minutes just like any masque for your face
4. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry

Pimple Blaster!!! (yay!)

What you'll need:

1 Drop tea tree oil

1/2 Cup Milk (you could use water as well if you've run low)

1. Mix together the oil and milk
2. Using a cotton swab, rub gently onto face or even as a spot treatment. 
3. Rinse off after 10 minutes

NOTE: I sometimes like to do this before bed and use warm milk, it is VERY relaxing!

Stay Smart, Stay Beautiful
