While some choose to live with them, others prefer to eliminate them for aesthetic reasons. The good news is that while they’re small, some natural remedies can be very effective!
-
Tea tree oil, the natural ally
Ultra-renowned for its purifying, antifungal and soothing properties, tea tree essential oil is a real safe bet in cosmetics… including against skin tags!
How to do it?
- Clean the affected area thoroughly.
- Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with vitamin E oil.
- Apply with a cotton swab directly to the skin tag.
- Cover with a small bandage and leave on for about twenty minutes.
- Rinse with lukewarm water.
Repeat daily : within a few weeks, the label may dry and fall off on its own. Consistency and patience are essential!
