A woman always and in everything wants to look perfect. Of course, the first thing that any woman wants to transform is her face. It can tell you everything about a person: if there are bags under the eyes, then it often does not get enough sleep, if the complexion becomes gray, most often this is a sign of smoking, if persistent pimples and acne, then the skin is oily and sebum and other characteristics are not circulating correctly.

But no one wants to show how he worked all night and drank coffee in order to somehow maintain his tone, or how he drank liquids before going to bed, and his face was swollen, like after a good feast. Therefore, ladies often resort to homemade recipes in order to at least partially tidy themselves up in the morning and run about their business with a fresh and beautiful face.

Tea tree oil for the face will help for this recovery. How to use it in cosmetology? Let's talk about this.

Beneficial features

Tea tree oil is a bactericidal agent. It contains almost 100 chemical compounds, with the largest part of which are terpinene and cineole. Both provide bactericidal properties, but the latter is irritating to the skin.

Therefore, for cosmetics, tea tree oil is selected with a high content of terpinene and a low content of cineole.

Due to its structure, the ingredient can dissolve in oils and alcohol, but is much worse or almost insoluble in water or glycerin.

In addition to the main properties, the extract also has:

• antifungal;
• immunomodulatory;
• anti-inflammatory properties.

With this composition, tea tree oil is able to heal wounds, disinfect the oral cavity and is used in the treatment of sore throats. It is also used in aromatherapy, as the smell and emitted substances help to calm a person, and serves as an ethereal remedy.

But cosmetics are not complete without this oil. It can be added to cream, shampoo. There are many different face mask recipes using this ingredient.

Recipes

Read the instructions of the drug carefully before use. Application for different skin problems requires a different percentage of oil.

An excellent disposal of barley, if suddenly you have it jumped: drip a couple of drops of the ingredient into a small bowl with hot water. Hold your face over the crockery for about 5 minutes. You can repeat until the barley passes.

Mask for oily skin

This type of skin contributes to many unpleasant moments. After all, sebum clogs pores, blackheads and blackheads appear, which become inflamed. Eternal oily shine with any make-up is a constant problem. Tea tree oil will help to cope with such inconveniences.

So, you will need:

• the protein of one egg;
• a drop of lavender extract;
• chamomile essential oil - drop;
• tea tree extract - 2 drops.

Beat the protein and mix with the oils. The face mask stays on for 15 minutes.

If you don't have chamomile and lavender essential oils on hand, you can use only one ingredient.

Mask to fight inflammation on the face

From the ingredients we need:

• blue clay - 70g;
• low-fat sour cream - a tablespoon;
• tea tree substance - 2 drops.

We dilute the clay with sour cream, add the tea tree extract and mix. Apply on face for a quarter of an hour.

Acne Treatment Mask

To combat this problem, it is recommended to use the component without dilution, sometimes mixed with olive. Although tea tree extract is hypoallergenic, it is worth checking it out for yourself before using it. To do this, you need to drop quite a bit on the skin (most often this is done on the wrist), after 10 minutes, rinse with water. For an hour after that, observe the reactions. If allergies have not occurred, then undiluted tea tree extract can be used.

You will need:

• tea tree extract;
• birch extract.

Mix the ingredients and spread evenly on the face. The mask is washed off after a maximum of 10 minutes.

Facial moisturizing cream mask

Tea tree extract can also be used to deeply moisturize the skin of the face. The mask should be made from dairy products, the main ingredient interacts well with this type of product. Milk or another product should be chosen with as little fat as possible.

Ingredients:

• cottage cheese 100g;
• strong chamomile broth - one spoon;
• tea tree oil - 3 drops.

We mix everything, and if there is a blender, you need to use it. The result should be a cream. The face mask should be on the face until it dries.
