Works as a skin saver: Tea tree oil works as an anti-imperfection solution to achieving a clearer and healthy looking skin. It helps in opening the pores, loosening up blocked oil and dirt that cause whiteheads, blackheads, painful red breakouts and blemishes. Mix two to three drops with a smudge of coconut oil and use a cotton swab to apply. Avoid using your fingertips as it introduces more dirt and reinvigorates break outs.
