Tea Tree Oil:
On The Body Shop website it states "Tea tree essential oil is renowned for its powerful, purifying properties. We sustainably hand-harvest our Community Trade organic tea tree leaves within 12 hours, so we can bottle our purest, most potent oil. Our iconic Tea Tree Oil is a cult classic, and is great for on the spot application.- Our iconic purest concentration Tea Tree Oil
- With purifying tea tree oil grown in the foothills of Mount Kenya
- Use on targeted areas of concern
- Reduces blemishes
- A cult classic"
And also expresses that it is for young and oily skin. I would say I have quite youthful skin as I am 21 and still getting acne, but not oily skin. If I had to stretch anywhere near oily I would say I had combination skin.
It is honestly quite pricey at £8.50 for 20ml but honestly, you need the tiniest bit for a spot and it honestly works miracles. I like to use this when I feel a spot coming through because it really does stop it from getting bigger, if anything, it might remain the same size for a day or so and then reduce in size. The best use I find for this tea tree oil is that it helps to eliminate acne scars!
Tea Tree Squeaky Clean Scrub:
The Body Shop Website states "Infused with pure, organic tea tree oil, our Tea Tree Squeaky Clean Scrub is a daily facial exfoliator perfect for blemished skin. Biodegradable bursting micro-beads gently buff the skin surface, removing impurities and dead skin cells for skin that feels smooth and appears more clear and shine-free.- With purifying tea tree oil grown in the foothills of Mount Kenya
- With biodegradable exfoliators
- Gently foaming
- Skin feels smoother
- Skin looks clearer, pores appear unclogged"
Personally, I do not use this everyday only because of the amount of tea tree products I do have and I don't want certain areas on my face to become even more dry. Usually, I only use scrub on my T zone as thats where I get quite dry patches but thought I needed to give this a go. My dry patches have visibly reduced and the texture of my face feels amazing once I have used this. I understand that this product is probably designed as a light scrub with it being for every day use but I really hope they bring out the same formula but with bigger granules, then this thing would be perfect for me! However, if you're a light scrub exfoliating Queen then this would be great! For £7.50 for 100ml, you can't go wrong!
Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash:
This product is probably my favourite in the range. "This Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash infused with potent tea tree oil, cleanses blemished skin with each use. A cooling lather removes impurities and excess oil, leaving skin feeling refreshed and purified. Use daily for shine-free, visibly clearer results.
- Daily facial wash
- With purifying tea tree oil from the foothills of Mount Kenya
- Deeply cleanses blemished skin
- Cooling and refreshing on skin
- Skin appears visibly clearer
- Reduces oiliness and shine"
Again, I do not use this everyday and only tend to use this if I haven't wore make up through-out the day and when I wash my face at night. The feel of my skin when I use this is amazing and I don't believe the smell is so potent it would make your eyes water but it still is really a strong smell. It feels as though you can smell it working, is that weird? I believe if you were to buy any 2 products from this range it would be this and the tea tree oil to work in combination with each other. Also, it works well even on my dry areas.
Tea Tree Skin Clearing Clay Mask:
This was the first product I ever tried from the tea tree range. I actually have a friend who works in The Body Shop and went in for some advice on what I could do for my acne and she was the one who got me hooked onto this range. Thanks Alison! "Cool and deeply cleanse your skin with our Tea Tree infused clay mask. Perfect for blemished complexions, the instantly cooling sensation refreshes skin, without over drying. This mask will help to clear impurities whilst absorbing excess sebum, leaving skin feeling smoother and clearer looking.- Rinse-off cleansing clay mask for blemished skin
- With purifying tea tree oil grown in the foothills of Mount Kenya
- Deeply cleanse to remove impurities
- Soothes and calms skin
- Helps to promote clearer looking skin"
I use this once a week and apply with a cheapish make up brush instead of getting clay mask stuck behind my finger nails. The make up brush also allows for a smooth and even application. I don't apply this to my T-Zone only because I am afraid that it may dry out my skin but I may have to try it out some time. I'm one of those people that hates waiting for their masks to try so always sit in front of a fan or waft myself with a book in order for it to dry. No joke, you can feel it working. The first time I ever used it, I could feel it tingling my spots. It didn't hurt or was stinging, it was the weirdest sensation. Thankfully my acne has diminished since using these products and I only get a cluster when mother nature calls (TMI, I am sorry) but this stuff works miracles. I apply this to my face when I feel the spots coming in. If a pesky few do manage to get through, I use this clearing mask, rinse off and then apply some tea tree oil before bed.
As mentioned above, I do have combo/dry skin and a lot of tea tree products are tailored to oily skin. I like to finish all of my routine's off with The Body Shop's Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet.
