Surely not all of you know that the tea tree has nothing to do with tea. Although, however, it is very useful for a person, because his oil has a powerful antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal effect. By the effectiveness of its effect, this natural antiseptic can be compared with modern pharmacy drugs. The spectrum of the action of tea tree oil is very wide – it eliminates swelling and redness, promotes healing of wounds, eliminates itching, restores a healthy look of the skin after the treatment of dermatological diseases, fights with fungal diseases and, of course, treats acne and even eczema. That is why tea tree oil can be seen so often in the composition of funds for problem skin.
Tea tree oil easily penetrates the skin of the face, which allows representatives of the fair sex to successfully use it in home cosmetology. Moreover, it can be used not only to care for the face – with its help you can fight dandruff, calm the skin after mechanical depilation, use it as a deodorant.
To eliminate acne with a tea tree or fight with teenage acne, you can follow the easiest way and use this tool in its pure form. To do this, it should be locally, twice a day, lubricate them problem areas. It is convenient to apply this oil with a cotton wool. As a rule, the result is noticeable after 2-3 days – acne and acne are significantly reduced and dry out.
For regular skin care, cosmetologists recommend regularly wipe the skin of the face with a lotion prepared based on tea tree oil. To do this, take 2-3 tablespoons of water and add 5-6 drops of tea tree essential oil to them-and the lotion is ready.
As an additional face care products at home, you can prepare masks with tea tree oil. But at the same time, do not forget that even such preventive and therapeutic masks should be suitable for you by the type of your skin, otherwise the result may be the opposite.
As the basis of a mask for combined or oily skin, cosmetologists recommend the use of egg protein. It must be beaten well and add 3-4 drops of tea tree essential oil to it, 2 drops of rosemary oil and 1-2 drops of lavender oil. Immediately before use, the mask must be thoroughly stirred and then apply the product with a thin layer on the face along the massage lines. The exposure time of this product is 10-15 minutes. After this time, the mask should be washed off with cold water and wiped the skin with a lotion.
But in the event that nature gave you dry skin, on which rashes and acne often appear, it is not recommended to use such a mask – the egg protein will dry your delicate skin even more. But do not be upset – an egg yolk may come to your aid, on the basis of which you can independently prepare the mask you need for you. The sequence of actions is the same: beat the egg yolk of one egg, add 3-4 drops of tea tree oils to it, 1-2 drops of rosemary oil and one teaspoon of olive oil. Mix all the components thoroughly and apply it to the skin of the face in the form of applications, that is, locally – only to problem areas on which the amount of acne is large. Rinse the product with warm water 15-20 minutes after applying it.
