Tea tree oil is natural anti bacterial and acne fighter but you cannot use it directly on your skin as it becomes too harsh.

But when mixed with aloe vera which has calming property to negate the potentially irritating effect of the Tea Tree oil. When these two ingredients are mixed together and applied on the skin together it has a calming effect on broken out skin.

Apply it on clean and dry skin for 10-15 minutes then rinse it off. Make sure to moisturize it afterwards.
