Okay, so I’ve been messing around with some natural stuff for my skin lately, and I wanted to share my little experiment with tea tree oil and coconut oil. I’ve heard a lot of good things about both of these, so I thought, why not put them together?

First off, I grabbed my bottle of tea tree oil. This stuff is pretty strong, so you gotta be careful with it. I mean, you definitely don’t want to just slather it all over your face. Then, I got my jar of coconut oil. Make sure it’s the virgin, unrefined kind, you know, the good stuff.

I started by melting down a little bit of the coconut oil. I just scooped out a couple of teaspoons and microwaved it for like 20 seconds. You don’t want it boiling hot, just liquidy enough so it is easier to mix.

Mixing it up

• Once the coconut oil was melted, I added in just a few drops of the tea tree oil. Seriously, I’m talking like 3-4 drops. Like I said, this stuff is potent.

  

• Then, I stirred it all up with a clean spoon until it was all combined. It looked like a simple, clear liquid at this point.

Before I put it on my face, I did a little patch test on my arm. You know, just to make sure I didn’t have some crazy allergic reaction. I waited for about 24 hours, and everything was cool, so I went ahead and applied it to my face.

I just used my fingers and gently massaged it into my skin, focusing on the areas where I tend to break out. It felt kind of nice, actually. The coconut oil is really moisturizing, and the tea tree oil has this, like, tingly, refreshing feeling.

I left it on for about 15-20 minutes, and then I washed it off with warm water and a gentle cleanser. My skin felt super soft and clean afterward.

The results

I’ve been doing this a few times a week for about a month now, and I gotta say, I’m pretty impressed. My skin looks clearer, and I haven’t had any major breakouts. It’s not like a miracle cure or anything, but it’s definitely helped. Plus, it’s all-natural, so I feel good about using it on my skin.

Anyway, that’s my little experiment with tea tree oil and coconut oil. If you’re looking for a natural way to improve your skin, it might be worth a try. Just remember to be careful with the tea tree oil and do a patch test first!
