We all have those days when you look in the mirror, and see your face has started a war with your ego. Red, painful, rank marks all over your face that make you feel anything other than pretty. Oh how we all love spots eh?
So today's post will be reviewing my new favourite skin care remedies for blemished skin - The Body Shop Tea Tree range.
Now I'm a huge fan of The Body Shop, but this is my favourite collection they sell. It's targeted mainly for those with blemish-prone skin, but I also find it works wonders for my oiliness.
Fear not dry people of this world though - it will still work on your skin don't worry!
As always, enjoy!
Tea Tree Squeaky-Clean Scrub 100ml, £6.50
Oh I love this, simple as really.
I picked this up as my skin has been horrendous this past month, and I needed something that was going to calm the skin, whilst scrubbing away those nasties.
I use this at night time as my cleanser and scrub; I just massage into my skin and wash off with cold water. I love how cooling this is, and I find my skin feels wonderfully clean and soft afterwards. As all the tea tree range in Body Shop, it does smell of tea tree - but I love the smell so it doesn't bother me!
Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner 250ml, £5
Now I'm a big toner girl - I really believe toner makes a difference in my skin routine, and I always notice my skin declining when I don't use it for some time.
I have gotten bored of my previous toner, so decided to give this a try. I use this primarily at night, and sweep all over dry, cleansed skin. Again, it does smell of tea tree, but the smell fades once it's sunk in.
You have to shake the bottle to mix the ingredients together, otherwise it can be a little watery. This also has willow bark in, which naturally has salicylic acid in, and we all know that's good for spots!
Tea Tree Oil 10ml, £7
I've heard so many good things about this oil, and decided to finally give it a go. And I really really like it.
I apply this after the toner has dried, and simply dab a small amount on the blemished areas. I find this can sting a little, but it doesn't last for more than a few seconds.
I've noticed a huge difference in my skin since using this! My skin isn't as red, and the spots have definitely died down. If you really hate the smell of tea tree, wear a peg on your nose whilst using it - it's so worth it!
If you suffer with dry skin - mix some of this oil in with your night cream, and it will still work just as well.
In terms of my oily skin, I have found these products have helped in drying my skin up. I'm one of those unfortunate souls to just have really crap skin. Never mind eh!
However, if you do have dry skin, perhaps spread the use of these products out, rather than using them all in one night.
So to summarise - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
Body Shop you did good.
