Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with coconut, seismic or any carrier oil of your choice and apply well on the areas of concern. Do this twice a day and gain yourself smooth and shiny skin.

Controls oily skin

Tea tree oil can help combat oily skin. The over secretion sebum is controlled and tea tree oil aids in the reduction in oiliness and decreases pore size. It’s suggested to add a few drops of this oil in your SPF and also topical application of the oil mixed with coconut oil in 1:3 ratio daily after the morning shower can speed up the process.
