Sorry for the super quick response earlier, lol. I was on my way out.
You can use it whenever, but because it's oily, it's usually more practical to use it at night. Gena is one brand in the US that has 100% TTO and it's usually sold at CVS for around $9 USD. Nature's Bounty is sold at Wallgreens and is the same price, but you get more product. It's buy 1 get 1 free right now.
Because of TTO's properties, it's actually been shown to be as effective as benzoyl peroxide, but with very little of the drying side effects.
With combo skin, I've personally used it up to 6x daily (I had a spider bite on my cheek...and it actually kept it from doing any damage) without any dryness. If dryness is a concern for you, you can definitely add a few drops to your moisturizer and use it like that.
You can use TTO for bug bites, ringworm, acne, cuts... just about anything. It has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties so it's a wonderful natural product. Just be wary if you DO choose to use it that you're using 100% without alcohol. The TTO sold by the body shop and other stores is mostly alcohol and makes most situations worse.
