Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi, ScA! So I've been reading a lot on this sub, and every time someone mentions using tea tree oil, they mention diluting it. I had previously been applying tea tree oil as a spot treatment to active pimples (before I had read about needing to dilute it), with no troubles or irritation at all - and it was very effective (reduced swelling and redness immensely).I've been trying to look around online for some information regarding whether or not it is necessary to dilute it, and I've really not seen anything. Some sites just say dilute it, no explanation why. Some don't mention anything. The closest thing I've found to a "reliable source" has been WebMD, which states:"Experts consider tea tree oil to be safe as a topical treatment, and you can apply it directly to the skin on a daily basis. When applied to the skin in its pure (100% oil) form, tea tree oil seldom causes irritation. But some people develop an allergic rash (contact dermatitis). If you are concerned that you might develop a rash, try the oil first on a small area of skin. You can also dilute tea tree oil with vegetable, olive, or almond oil."So. Because I've had no irritation or problems with directly applying it to the skin, I'm wondering if anyone has any researched information explaining why the oil must be diluted? I'm wondering if there is some long term issue that could arise, or unseen damage I'm doing. Because if it is safe, I will continue doing so - as it's been so effective for me. Thanks!!
