This post is just to give add more information to help understand about tea tree oil and its benefits (in addition to the video) Acne and spots are common problems amongst us - especially teenagers. A lack of knowledge will let you be reeled in by fancy packaging and advertisements claiming to being "the top cure" for spots and acne. However there is no need to spend a fortune on trying lots of different products and all of them eventually not being the one for you. Look no further than the essential oils section and find yourself and little bottle of tea tree oil! Tea tree oil is a brilliant natural natural remedy for skin ailments such as acne and spots. Acne is caused by pores being plugged in the skin by an oily substance. To oppose this effect, tea tree oil acts as an astrigent (a substance which contracts tissue) and will kill off the bacteria in the pore as it dries up the skin. This also leads to the fact that tea tree oil helps remove oil from the skin and dries it up, which id definately a positive for those with oily skin. However if you have dry skin, tea tree oil will dry it up even more, so be careful when using it - maybe you will want to only apply it to your spots?
