Is this tea tree oil okay to use for acne? And do you have any tips for using tea tree oil on the skin?

I think it's ok, but try diluting it with water.

It's fine if you dilute it in water.

I use it as a spot treatment diluted in a bit of water. I found using it all over my face was overkill and I really didn't need it. XD just put it on the spot before bed!

How would I dilute it with water? Just put some in the bottle? And how much?

I love it but it kinda burns, I mix it with aspirin & a dot of water. That works the best for me.

I've used it for my acne and at the start, it worked like a miracle. But then my skin started getting used to it (it's either that or because I got a different brand, I used to use Body Shop's but it's on the pricey side) and it just doesn't really do anything anymore.

But I found a solution to that. I tried out Kitty K's DIY green tea toner (she has it on her blog: http://beautiebunnie.blogspot.ca/2014/06/do-it-yourself-skin-loving-toners.html?m=1 if the link doesn't work, just go to her profile and she has a link to it) and it works like a charm! My acne patches really reduced in size and it stops redness. There's tea tree oil in it and I actually use it without diluting and even though my skin is sensitive it never did any burning or peeling so I guess it's just me haha :)
