How to Dilute Tea Tree Oil for Keloids
Tea tree oil is an essential oil known for its many health benefits, including treating skin ailments. When used correctly, it can help reduce the appearance of various skin conditions, such as keloids. However, due to tea tree oil’s potential skin irritations, it is important to dilute it correctly before use. Follow these steps to ensure that you get the most out of tea tree oil while avoiding any potential skin reactions.

Instructions:
- Pour 1 ounce of carrier oil in a glass container.
- Add 2 teaspoons of tea tree oil. Make sure the container is free of moisture.
