Tea Tree Crazy

I've never had too much trouble with breakouts or acne, but I do get the occasional spot here and there. Especially around a certain time of the month. And when I do they seem to stay around forever. But I've finally found the perfect products to really get rid of them and pretty quickly, too!

Tea tree is known for its antibacterial properties and in these products by The Body Shop and Lush, tea tree is the crucial ingredient that really gets rid of spots and helps tame breakouts. 

The Body Shop: Facial wash, Toner, Tea Tree Oil, and Lotion
Lush: Grease Lightning and Tea Tree Water (toner)

 Starting with Lush, I've been using the spot treatment and toner water for a few months now and I absolutely love both of these products. Grease lightning is a serum and is described to "strike the spot with lightning precision" and it honestly does! At night, after I've taken off all of my makeup, I apply just the smallest amount of Grease Lightning to any spot and allow it to dry. I'll then apply the Tea Tree Water all over my face with a cotton round removing the serum and leaving my face feeling completely clean and fresh. I'll then moisturize and leave it at that. 

On to the products from the The Body Shop. I purchased these products in a set from Ulta (that you can pick up here) for $29 which isn't a bad price for what you get (and how little you have to use at a time). I use these products in the morning before I do my makeup. I use the face wash in the shower and only need about a dime size to clean my entire face. After I get out of the shower I use the toner on a cotton round to really ensure my face is clean and then I moisturize with the lotion. However, I only use the lotion if I have quite a few spots and if my face isn't feeling extra dry, as it is not the best for really moisturizing dry winter skin. I also only use the tea tree oil on spots if I have any, but I usually prefer to use Grease Lightning for that. 

I've been using these products together for quite a while and I am very confident in saying that these products really do work! :)
