Tea Tree
What’s Tea Tree?
Native to Australia, the tea tree yields a powerful, cleansing essential oil with a fresh, slightly
herbaceous aroma. Tea Tree essential oil is best known for its purifying properties. It can
cleanse and purify the skin, encourage healthy-looking nails, nourish the scalp, beautify the
complexion, and more.
How Do I Use Tea Tree?
Aromatically
The aroma of Tea Tree essential oil is unique. It’s fresh and herbaceous, yet also somewhat
musky. While some like the smell of Tea Tree right away, others come to love it with time
and experience. Once you start experiencing the cleansing and refreshing benefits of Tea
Tree, that familiar scent becomes reassuring and soothing.
The best way to use Tea Tree aromatically is by diffusing it. Diffusing it will freshen the air,
dispel odors, and dissipate stuffiness. The air will feel cleaner, lighter, and more airy.
Topically
Combine one to two drops of Tea Tree with your facial cleanser or moisturizer to maintain a
healthy complexion. For blemishes or occasional skin irritation, apply a drop directly on the skin.
Tea Tree is highly nourishing to the scalp and hair. When added to shampoo, it helps keep
your hair looking thick, clean, and healthy. It also beautifies nails. Massage a few drops of
Tea Tree into your fingernails and toenails to keep them looking healthy.
When Should I Use Tea Tree?
When you’re getting ready for the day, incorporate Tea Tree into your routine. After you
wash your face in the morning, apply it to the skin with your moisturizer. Then, when
brushing your teeth, add a drop to your toothbrush, or you can rinse your mouth with water
and Tea Tree after you’ve brushed.
Cleaning your home is another great time to reach for Tea Tree. You can use it as a surface
cleaner and purifier. Add a few drops of Tea Tree to a spray bottle filled with water and
spritz on hard surfaces to freshen and clean. You might also try spraying the insides of
stinky shoes or a gym bag.
Tea Tree is amazing for all things related to skin. For comfort from minor skin irritations,
apply a small amount to the area.
