"As an Antiseptic

Tea tree essential oil is an excellent natural antiseptic for skin infections. The oil immediately penetrates outer skin layers and mixes with body oils to treat such conditions as insect bites, cuts, burns, acne, infected wounds, bruises, boils, scabies, lice, chillblains, diaper rash, hives, poison ivy and oak, prickly heat, and sunburn .

A study published in the Medical Journal of Australia , in 1990, outlined the results of using 5% tea tree oil gel versus 5% benzoyl peroxide lotion for acne. The 124 participants showed improvement with both treatments. Benzoyl peroxide worked better with non-inflamed acne while the tea tree gel caused only 44% of side effects such as dryness and red skin compared to benzoyl peroxide's 79%.

The simplest methods to treat acne with tea tree oil are to wash the face with soap containing tea tree essential oil or swab pure tea tree oil on the acne twice daily. (Too high a percentage or direct application of essential oil could cause irritation and blistering.) To prevent blistering from sunburns, apply tea tree oil cream."

I have been using Tea Tree oil for years. I believe it is derived from the Mela-Luca plant.

Great stuff!

Tea Tree Oil is excellent for sunspots. Apply it twice a day after morning shower and before you go to bed, and it will eliminate sunspots within a few days.
