Description
No house should be without this essential oil, as it is one of the most powerful immune system stimulants and sorts out most viral, bacterial and fungal infections in a snap, while it is great to clean wounds and also relieves muscle aches and pains. Especially effective after using our soap from the same range: ‘No:5 Tea Tree Fresh’ on Milia/Milk spots, Acne spots/bumps, Boils, Keratosis Pilaris and other fungal infections.
Instructions for best results:
Don’t forget your initial 24 hour patch test for sensitivity issues.
1. Soap (use at least twice a day): Splash face with warm running water several times to open pores. Rub soap bar directly on to and all over face. Keep rubbing it on gently for about a minute. Leave soapy residue on for another minute before rinsing off with more warm (not hot) running water. Gently pat face dry with clean towel.
2. Tea Tree oil (use once a day, before bed time, after washing with soap): Put tea tree oil on a cotton wool bud and lightly dab each Milia/Spot in turn. Be as accurate and sparing as possible when applying as neat Tea Tree oil is quite strong and you only need a tiny, tiny amount for it to be very effective. Do not rub the oil in, just leave it on top of the milia bead/spot. If you have lots of Milia spots just put the dab of Tea Tree oil on the biggest ones. Please be especially careful around the sensitive eye area, closing your eyes for a while after application until most of the fumes have evaporated. If you experience any burning wash off immediately with cool running water and dilute the tea tree oil with a small amount of our Light Tea Tree Cream/ Aloe Vera Gel or a base oil such as Almond, Olive or Argan oil before applying it the next time (to the individual spots only). If milia are very close to the eyes do not apply at all.
