Top 1 in Top 10 uses of melaleuca oil with health and beauty.
One of the most common uses for tea tree oil in Australia is in skin care products because it is considered to be one of the most effective remedies for acne. One study found that tea tree oil was as effective as benzoyl peroxide, but did not have the side effects many people experienced with other acne products, such as redness, dryness and peeling. You can make your own acne skin cleanser by mixing five drops of pure tea tree oil with two teaspoons of honey. Simply rub your face, leave on for a minute, then rinse.
