However, concentrated amounts can cause irritation. To apply tea tree oil to your skin as a repellent, it is ideal to dilute it into a mix using oil for skin that is gentle like Jojoba or coconut oil.

Spray: Mix a cup of water, half the amount of rubbing alcohol, and ten or twenty drops of oil from tea trees. Pour the ingredients into the spray bottle, then shake until it is mixed. Apply the solution directly onto your skin, making sure that there is no contact with your face or eyes. If you’d rather avoid alcohol, you can make use of Witch hazel toner.

Rub over: Use coconut oil or avocado oil to make a base to create a natural, homemade insect defense. Use a cup of base oil and mix it with 10-20 drops of tea tree oil. Apply it to the skin as needed. Avoid using it on your face, and be careful not to get anything in your eyes. Be sure to keep glass containers to protect your repellent against ticks.

Caution

In rare instances, Tea tree oil may cause irritation to the skin. To determine if you are experiencing a reaction prior to use, perform the test on a patch first. In order to do that, you will need to apply a tiny amount to the skin in the elbow region to check for any reactions. If you notice a rash, contact your physician.
