Research suggests that tea tree oil has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties that can effectively treat skin conditions. Here are some studies that have shown tea tree oil's effectiveness for skin care:

• Acne: A diluted tea tree oil treatment gel is as effective as 5% benzoyl peroxide in controlling acne symptoms. Some studies have found that topical application of at least 5% tea tree oil for 4–8 weeks improves mild to moderate acne and or better than 5% benzoyl peroxide, 2% topical erythromycin, or placebo.

• Wounds: A 2013 study found that tea tree oil helps heal wounds caused by bacteria. Nine of the ten people who used tea tree oil in addition to conventional treatment showed a decrease in healing time compared to conventional treatment alone.

Studies have shown that turmeric has many benefits for skin, including:

• Acne

  Turmeric's antibacterial and antiseptic properties can help with pimples and breakouts and reduce oil secretion. Turmeric face masks can also help clear acne scars and inflammation.

• Skin brightening

  Turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can brighten skin within 3–4 weeks.

• Stretch marks

  Turmeric's antioxidants can help fade stretch marks, making skin smoother and more elastic.

• Dry skin

  Turmeric can help nourish and moisturize skin, relieving dryness and itchiness. It can also stimulate skin regeneration, helping to restore the skin's natural moisture balance.

• Wound healing

  Turmeric can help speed up the healing process and reduce scarring. One study found that it increases collagen production, an important component of the skin that helps it heal after injury.

• Dark spots

  Studies have shown that turmeric can reduce dark spots on the skin, also known as hyperpigmentation. One study found that a turmeric cream reduced hyper-pigmentation up to 14 percent after four weeks of use.
