Tea Tree Oil – Wonder from Down Under

One of my all time favourite beauty essentials is none other than Tea Tree Oil.  Yes, as well as being widely used for medicinal purposes it is also useful for a variety of natural beauty treatments.  It is an essential oil distilled from the leaves of the melaleuca plant, which is indigenous to Australia.  With proven antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, it is effective for a multitude of common skin conditions.

As a beauty essential, I have discovered it is a natural way to treat acne, blisters, cold sores, oily skin, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, pimples, sunburn, nail infections, ingrown hairs, body odours and dandruff, to name a few.

Tea Tree Oil is also prevalent in many modern beauty products such as acne treatments.  You have probably noticed that many hair care products, soaps, cleansers and body lotions also contain Tea Tree Oil.  Skincare brands such as Dermalogica feature it in a wide range of their products as an ingredient that delivers professional results.  

Here are some other highly effective Tea Tree Oil products:

Ultraceuticals Ultra Clear Treatment Gel.

A complex, balanced formulation including Retinol, Vitamin E, AHA, BHA, Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus Oil and Green Tea Extract to help improve the appearance of oily/acne conditions.

Y natural 403 Clear Organic Toner

Containing a mixture of organic hydrosols from three members of the Tea Tree family and other beneficial plants. Tea Trees are well known for their anti- inflammatory, anti infectious and its anti bacterial properties which make this certified organic hydrosol very beneficial for problematic skin including pimple breakouts and acne type problems.

Mr. Essentials Cream Body Cleanser

Re-moisturises and deodorises, giving smooth and soft skin as well as all day freshness. Powerful deep cleansing action, yet gentle enough to be used on the most sensitive skin. The neutral pH of this formulation prevents the skin from drying out.

Tea Tree Oil is the ultimate medicine kit in a bottle, and it is a ‘must have’ in every home.  Do you already use Tea Tree Oil?  If so, do you have any other uses for it?
