In the world of beauty, an essential oil that is considered to work wonders for skincare and haircare is none other than tea tree. Although it has gained more popularity in the recent years, it has been used in aromatherapy sessions since ancient times. Derived for pure and natural tea leaves and stem using steam distillation, tea tree oil is known for its versatility. It comes with antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, anti inflammatory and immunity boosting properties. As such, it helps in dealing with various kinds of beauty problems.
For skincare
Tea tree essential oil suits all skin types and helps in killing germs and fighting against skin breakouts like acne and boils. It lightens blemishes and controls the formation of dark patches while also tackling itchy skin with its antibacterial properties. The oil also helps in moisturising the skin and keeping the pores free from excessive sebum build up. It's great for the nails too, and can be used as an effective makeup remover.
For haircare
Coming to haircare, because of its antimicrobial properties, tea tree oil reduces scalp problems like dandruff and flakes, and itching. It nourishes the hair follicles to boost hair growth. It also helps in treating dry and oily scalps and restoring the pH levels of the scalp.
Tea tree oil is a cabinet must-have. The pre-blended oil can be used in many different ways to treat skin and hair issues. Pure, undiluted essential oil should not be applied directly. You need to first mix it with carrier oils like olive oil, grapeseed oil or jojoba oil.
