how to use tea tree oil for acne

1. Combine 1 to 2 drops of tea tree oil with 12 drops of a carrier oil. However, be careful using any additional oils on your face. Any type of oil product has the potential to worsen acne. 2.

Allow to dry. Follow up with your usual moisturizer. 6. Repeat morning and night.
