Tea tree oil is a natural skin moisturizer and cleanser. The terpenes are natural solvents that remove makeup, and the oil moisturizes. To make your own cleansing moisturizer, simply squeeze a bit of your normal moisturizer into your hand and mix in one or two drops of tea tree oil. To make your own makeup remover, add four to five drops of the tea tree oil into approximately two tablespoons of coconut or olive oil.
