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).
Also, can I apply tea tree oil directly on face?
You should not apply tea tree oil directly to skin. It’s important to dilute the oil with a carrier oil, such as olive oil, coconut oil, or almond oil. For every 1 to 2 drops of tea tree oil, add 12 drops of a carrier oil. Also, be careful when using tea tree oil around the eye area.
Beside this, can I apply tea tree oil overnight? You can also use an overnight treatment – take a mix of carrier oils like almond, olive, and jojoba in a small 250 ml bottle and add in 10-15 drops of tea tree oil. Mix well and apply evenly onto scalp. Massage for several minutes and leave on overnight. Shampoo as normal in the morning.
