Hello gorgeous, it’s been a while since I share about acne series. That’s because my skin condition got better, but not lately. Been few weeks since I got acne prone skin back again, I guess that’s because lack of good quality rest and too much stress. I always bothered by stress, and haven’t found the right cure yet. If you have suggestion about stress management, please kindly tell me. Of course, first aid to the acne: tea tree oil! This one’s my favorite spot treatment so far. That’s why I’m gonna share a simple hack for you, with some products recommendation.
Before going into detail about the hack and product recommendation, let us know more about tea tree. Also called as melaleuca oil, this buddy is an almost colorless oil that derived from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia plant. It has antifungal and antimicrobial agent, and that’s why can be used to treat our skin problems, especially acne.
1. Tea tree oil is an excellent home remedy for athlete’s foot. Any infection causing inflammation can be soothes, simply apply the oil to the infected areas.
2. Tea tree oil has been proved having antiseptic properties and can be used in skin disorder treatments. Applying this oil onto minor burns can even soothes them. This helps in reducing the likelihood of having infection.
3. Applying 1-2 drops onto infected areas can reduce corns and warts. But if you have sensitive skin, it’ll be better to use diluted type oil. My recommendation is olive oil since you can easily find them at drugstores and minimarket, or coconut oil if you have.
4. Instant relief to itching or pain caused by insect bites.
5. Adding 2-3 drops of tea tree oil to water while bathing will get you away from skin allergies. This oil can kill bacteria and fungus, that causes the allergy.

As for acne prone skin (and combination skin) like mine, this tea tree oil can be a natural alternative for curing acne. There are journals about tea tree oil is as effective as benzoyl peroxide in curing acne. The reasons are:
1. Tea tree oil consists of antibacterial and antimicrobial agent that are effective in eliminating bacteria that causes acne breakouts.
2. Tea tree oil can be absorbed deep into the skin and unblock the sebaceous glands, which means this is unclogging the pores. Of course, through disinfecting them we can reduce and even cure acne.
3. Tea tree oil can work as a solvent while removing dust and grease, also protecting the skin from oxidative stress.
