Jojoba oil and tea tree oil for acne?

I'm pregnant and experiencing problems with my skin. My dr. doesn't want me using salicylic acid so I'm looking into natural remedies. Does anyone have experience using jojoba oil and or tea tree oil? Does it help?Jojoba oil and tea tree oil for acne?
You should give tea tree oil a shot. I had mild acne for a while and even tho I washed my face every night I still had acne. So I used tea tree oil and within a week my acne was pretty much gone except for a few spots here and there, which will fade soon too.


Tea tree oil can be used for any skin type even if you have very sensitive skin. And in that case I would dilute the oil with either water or aloe vera gel, which you can get at any drug store.


There are only two downsides to tea tree oil and that is that the smell is pretty strong, and it can dry out your face a little, which can be taken care of by using a moisturizer.


The oil can be found in any drugstore/grocery store/health store in the same isle as the finger nail polish remover for about $6. There are many different kinds but you can get whatever brand as long as it says 100% tea tree oil.


I would recommend putting it on at night before you go to sleep.


If you have any more questions there are many websites about this product, or feel free to ask me.Jojoba oil and tea tree oil for acne?
Tea Tree Oil is awesome. If you have a Trader Joe's near you, they have Tea Tree Oil Soap; two bars for less than $2. I won't use anything else on my face and everyone I know that has tried it won't use anything else either. My brother, my best friend, her teenaged daughter, and my co-worker who used to have horrible acne before she met me. I can't speak for all tea tree oil products but the TJ's soap owns.
