Australians have for a long time been familiar with the health benefits of the tea tree oil, using it since ancient times. The volatile hydrocarbons present in the oil are known to be aromatic and able to pass through the air, through the skin pores, and the mucous membranes. That’s why tea tree oil is widely used to destroy germs, combat diseases, and soothe skin conditions aromatically and topically.
Although its healing properties have become world-renowned in only the past few decades, the tea tree oil has quickly became known as “a medicine cabinet in a bottle”, since it’s truly indispensable when it comes to treating numerous skin diseases and conditions.
Tea tree oil has many other uses as well, because of its anti-fungal, disinfectant, and antiviral properties, but today it is probably best known as an excellent acne treatment. If you wish to make your own beauty products from this incredible essential oil, then take a look at these top 10 DIY projects and start making your new favorite tea tree product.
