Tea tree oil

[hellokittysmom]

I mix it with my toner, Witch Hazel toner with rose water. the rose water helps with the smell so I tone and also get an extra astringent: both witch hazel and tea tree oil are astringents. Don't use too much tea tree oil though! It'll sting!

i absolutely adore tea tree oil because of its anti-bacterial properties!! i agree, it does sting a bit though, but that's a good sign as it shows it is working!

I LOVE the stuff! You can use it in SOOOO many things!! I agree. I use tea tree shampoo in the winter because I get really dry scalp. As long as I use it I have no problem with flaking.

yes i love love tea tree oil.

i started using it because i have these little red bumps on the back of my arms and my biology teacher recommended it.

i got this homemade tea tree oil soap on ebay and now its all i use.

i also have the 100% stuff and i use it with cotton pads on my arms and i use a q-tip to spot treat my pimples =]

i use an acne gel w/Tea Tree oil in it .. and it just dries out/minimizes the size of my pimple overnight

I've found mixing Tea Tree Oil with water into a little spray bottle is a really refreshing face spray during the day and can also be used as a toner to combat spots and oily skin.

hehe that's exactly what i do!

Okay update..I added some tea tree oil to my facewash and Oh La La..very glad I gave it a shot. also I added some to my oil cleansing routine and it is doing its job..Woohoo!

if it clogs your pores try not to put it all over your face and just spot treat.

i hate the smell, but i think my facial mask contains some of it, but it's mixed with some other oils, so it's ok for the smell.
