After being sent a bottle of Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil, I’ve been playing with all of it’s amazing uses; my favorites being tea tree oil’s skincare powers! As one of the most versatile essential oils, whether your skin problems are cosmetic—acne, scars, dry skin or oily skin—or are caused by a more serious health concern, tea tree oil can play a role in reversing or treating the problems. Here are a few recipes I’ve recently discovered that I know you’ll love too!
Tea Tree Oil Spot Remover
Why it works: Most people don‘t realize that the source for many skin problems such as acne, blackheads, whiteheads and rashes can often be traced to one of three sources: infections, bacteria and plain old dirt. Tea tree oil combats all three of these sources without the high price and negative side effects that come with other treatments.
Mix it: Use a wooden applicator to stir together 1 oz. aloe vera gel, 3 drops Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil, and 2 drops of raw honey until blended and store in lip balm tube or small tin storage container.
Apply it: Place a small amount of the spot remover on the pads of your fingers and apply to acne spots. Keep refrigerated between uses.
Cleansing Tea Tree Oil & Clay Mask
Why it works: The antiseptic properties of tea tree oil are the perfect way to pull excess dirt and toxins from the top layers of the skin. A lot of over the counter skin care products do contain antiseptic ingredients to clean the skin as well. However they often also include plenty of other chemicals that aren‘t doing your skin any favors.
Mix it: Mix 2 tbsp. green or red clay powder, 4 tbsp. Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil into a small bowl then add enough water to form a thick paste.
Apply It: Apply the mask evenly to your face and neck with your finger tips or a makeup brush and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Once the tea tree oil and the clay have had a chance to work their collective magic, you can rinse it off with warm water and pat your face dry. Note: This is a weekly treatment; too many applications may dry out your skin.
Moisturizing Face Wash
Why it works: Frequently called a “miracle cure,” the all natural, yet disinfecting properties of tea tree oil aid in the healing process. Combined with a few other ingredients, tea tree oil makes a great cleansing product without harming or drying out skin.
Mix it: Whisk 1?4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 drops of fresh lemon juice and 4 drops Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil in a small bowl.
Apply it: Rub onto face and neck in a circular motion for about 2 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat face dry. This mixture can be used as a daily face wash for dry skin.
Minty Tea Tree Oil Lip Balm
Why it works: The healing properties of tea tree oil soothe lips and keep bacteria away!
Mix it: Place 3 mint leaves in food processor and pulse until tiny bits are left. Use a double boiler to melt 1 cup shaved beeswax. Add mint leaves and 3 tbsp. coconut oil until melted. Remove from heat and stir in 4 drops Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil until everything is blended. Place in lip balm tube or metal pot and store.
Apply it: When the balm is set, use a brush or the pad of your fingers to run over lips as needed.
Creamy Tea Tree Oil Shampoo
Why it works: Tea tree oil cleanses and moisturizes without drying skin out. The all natural moisturizing properties helps keep the hair and scalp healthy and shiny and as an antibacterial you can use tea tree oil to cleanse away buildup on the scalp.
Mix it: Combine 15 drops Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil, 5 drops essential rose oil, 1?4 cup coconut milk, 1?2 tsp. almond oil (for dry hair), 3 vitamin E oil capsules, and 1/3 cup liquid castile soap in an empty bottle.
Apply it: Before use, shake bottle well, then squeeze about 1-1 1?2 teaspoons per shampoo into your hand. Massage gently into scalp and hair and leave on for 2 minutes then rinse. Repeat as necessary. Store for up to one month.
