My dog licked tea tree oil from my face, is it safe for her?

I put tea tree oil on my skin last night and my 40 lbs dog licked my face this morning, should I be worried?

Hello. Most of the oil was either absorbed into your skin or wiped off onto your pillow & sheets overnight. I doubt very much there was any left on your skin to cause any problems for Demi. She will be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
