Fighting acne prone skin with essential tea tree oil – goodbye pimples

Acne is one of the most common skin problems, especially among teenagers: it affects almost everyone and consists of pimples and zits on the face skin, that sometimes extends to the chest, shoulders and back.

 

It is not known what’s the cause, but there is evidence that genetic heritage is involved, certain hormonal fluctuations, personal hygiene and food.

 

Some essential oils will greatly assist us in the battle against acne. Used in pure form or diluted with any vehicle or base oil, essential oils should be used topically to relieve mild to moderate acne.

 

Organic Tea tree oil is a powerful antibacterial and, consequently, is very good for getting rid of acne and also to clean wounds in general.

Also, tea tree oil relieves irritation, hives and burns, acne and reduces dandruff, and may even fight warts and other fungal infections.

 

Particularly in this skin condition, treatments with Australian tea tree oil act quickly and succeed in removing skin imperfections, pimples and fights oily skin, while decreasing discomfort in the affected area.

 

Keep in mind that using pure tea tree oil on your acne prone skin (specially face wash), can dry it a lot, so you have to use a good moisturizer after washing your face or applying the oil directly on your face.

 

Also, you can find in specialized stores (like The Body Shop) some great tea tree oil lotions that go along perfectly with this treatment.

The Best Tea Tree Face Wash - review

The Body Shop “Tea Tree Oil Face Wash” is simple and efficient for all of us having acne prone, oily skin.
This facial wash refreshes your skin and removes all the makeup, which is the first thing we usually expect from facial washes.

In terms of skin improvement – specifically acne prone skin – The Body Shop tea tree oil Face Wash removes oil during the summer and doesn't overdry your skin in the winter.

Personally, I quite like the scent of australian tea tree oil, although I'm sure many people don't because it is SO strong.

This dark green oil wash comes in a generous bottle with a handy click cap, it works really well on getting rid of stubborn blackheads and effectively controls acne while moisturizing enough to keep your skin soft after washing it.

Overall, is a nice gel cleanser that takes all the make up and dirt off, without having to use much at all, and still leaves your skin nice, very soft and smooth, without any tightness or residue. It's Australian Tea Tree Oil for acne used at its best.

Since I started using the system about 9 months ago, I can count on one hand how many zits I have had, so I can really recommend it! – specially if you use along with The Body Shop “pure tea tree oil”! (also reviewed here)
