The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Products

I have really sensitive, acne-prone skin. Throughout my teenage years (and even until now), I got a lot of pimples that left the most awful looking scars and blemishes. I’ve been looking for a way to improve the way my skin looks and to lighten the blemishes a little, but I didn’t really feel like experimenting with all sorts of lotions since the chemical ingredients could provoke another breakout.

Hooray for The Body Shop and their use of natural ingredients! A couple of months ago, I purchased a bottle of their Tea Tree Oil Blemish Fade Night Lotion on a whim, hoping that it would indeed improve the appearance of my blemishes. The Blemish Fade Night Lotion’s primary ingredient, tea tree oil, is a natural antiseptic that controls oil and lightens blemishes without being harsh on the skin. You’re supposed to apply it onto your face before going to bed because this is when the skin is most receptive to the lotion’s soothing effects. The results are very subtle; though my skin was still as oily after a few weeks of daily use, I noticed that my blemishes were less obvious and I wasn’t breaking out as much as I used to.

Because of my positive experience iwth the Blemish Fade Night Lotion, I picked up a concealer from the Tea Tree line today. I’m not a big fan of using concealer because it feels heavy, as if it were occupying the gaps within my pores. But the Tea Tree Oil Cover Stick feels about as light as face powder, and does a great job of covering up dark spots and pimples on its own!

Together, the Tea Tree Oil Blemish Fade Night Lotion and the Tea Tree Oil Cover Stick cost Php 849 (sale price).
