My Experience with Tea Tree Oil Lotion
I have been using tea tree oil lotion for the past year and it has done wonders for my skin. I used to have dry, itchy skin that would often break out in acne. Since using tea tree oil lotion, my skin has become much smoother and clearer.
I prefer to make my own tea tree oil lotion because I know exactly what is going into it and I can customize it to my skin’s needs.
How to Make Tea Tree Oil Lotion
Here is a simple recipe for making your own tea tree oil lotion:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup shea butter
- 1/4 cup almond oil
- 20 drops of tea tree oil
- 10 drops of lavender oil (optional)
Melt the coconut oil and shea butter in a double boiler. Once melted, remove from heat and add the almond oil, tea tree oil, and lavender oil (if using). Mix well and let cool until the mixture solidifies.
Once solid, use a hand mixer to whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. Transfer to a jar and use as needed.
