The Benefits of Tea Tree Oil and Diy Beauty Recipes

In the past I’ve given you a glimpse into my beauty regimen. I’ve shared with you my love of DIY beauty treatments and all natural tips and tricks. Today I want to share with you some of the many benefits of Tea Tree oil and a few DIY beauty recipes.

The first use of Melaleuca Alterniolia aka Tea Tree oil was said to be a medicinal ingredient used by the Aboriginal Australians in New South Wales. Research shows the oil contains antiseptic properties that fight bacteria. As word spread about all of the health benefits the oil had to offer more and more people began to use it.

I personally was first introduced to Tea Tree oil back during my days in Beauty school. Needless to say I’ve been using it in my beauty regimen for years. The kind that I’m currently using is Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil.
