I heard tree tea oil is good for pimples as a spot treatment for night. Can I also put it in the day I go out with it?

You can but you won't be able to wear make up over it (it'll blotch in the area where you applied it) it also dries out your skin so you may find dry patches under your make up. Tea tree also has a strong smell. These are all things you should take into consideration before wearing it out during the day

I go in at work at 4:30 so I put it in the meantime and run some errands. Then I get ready for work. I just wanted to know if it was bad because of the sun, if it causes anything.

You're fine. if I have a spot that dorsnt fully go down over night. I dab tea tree on it again in the morn. it will definitely dry out your skin but you'll only need to use it that day, two days tops! I havent had it get that dry that my makeup looks bad. just put it on that spot only. you're fine

When I try the expensive stuff n it doesn't work. I take it back to basics. oatmeal soap. or glycerin soap. different types of scrubbers. moisture face mask.. (for me. dryness causes breakouts. you think its oil. but sometimes you just need to vet the deep Down dirt off/out and then add proper moisture. not any heavy grease).
tea tree does in fact work. its very strong. its an antiseptic, so it kills germs. with that, similar to alcohol it will dry out your skin.

Oh yeah. I see.
I was getting that on my right cheek from stress..

do what I do. get it really clean n add moisture.
I use an h20 mask. its great at hydrating..
I sleep in it n my face clears.
another I use is by co bigelow. acai berry. it moistures n the bumps a actually shrink. then I wash off. add a gel moisturizer n tab tea tree on just the bumps

The Body shop makes a Tea Tree Cleanser and Toner that are amazing and helped me a lot! I still use them and they are not super drying and you feel very clean after. They are both very  affordable.

I'm a big fan of the body shop!!. I prefer the seaweed line over the tea tree line but I'm glad it works for you Nadzhe..
@kaylin, since your skin is dry I right now at least From your pic. I woukdnt advise using tea tree or seaweed. try this oat scrub below. it gentally cleans n you can also use it as a mask..

The lady tried to sell me the seaweed line but I don't know I was so set in trying the tea tree but maybe ill try it. I have oily/dry skin.

Your skin actually looks rather dry on your forhead. I personally think tea tree would worsen your breakouts by over-drying them. I think a combination of lavender and rose oils would do better than tea tree because of their balancing and soothing properties. they will also take out the redness from the breakouts. calamine lotion is an awesome spot treatment that also reduces redness but also the inflammation.

Naomi's honey and oat mask is also an excellent suggestion. honey is antibacterial like tea tree but it will actually help hydrate your skin as well plus oat is super soothing.

Naomi S, were can I buy that scrub?

Kenzie L, is lavender and rose oils like tea tree oil, like is it a little bottle? Where can I find it to put that and replace it for tea tree oil. I do have dry skin and I didnt know tea tree oil would make it worst.

@nadzhe, the seaweed line says its for oily skin. (I'm normal to dry usually). but I use the face lotion alm yr round.. n the cleansers/exfoliants/ and toner thru parts of the summer. I really like the exfoliant scrub for the summer.
the seaweed lotion especially has a nice way of balancing the good oil n evaporating the bad.. that's y eventho I'm not always oily. I can still use it. its really gentle..
the only tea tree I was I can use is by trader Joes. I love this stuff!!

Its in the right. all of thes are $5.99. I love them. this pic was already in my phone hence all three.
but @kaylin, you need moisture moisture moisture.!!. but b careful that its not too heavy n just clog up your pores.

You can find the oils in little bottles just like tea tree but there are natural skincare lines with these ingredients in them. I've heard good things about doTERRA essential oils

Thanks Naomi, very helpful!! I moisturize a lot, I use vaseline total moisture. Do you recommend any good ones?

Oct 30, 2013

Kaylin A.

But @kenzie, you recommend that I should use lavender and rose oil? Do I mix them together on my face after I wash them.

Kaylin, what products have you used with good results n which have you used with bad results?.
and what is your usual skintype?

Oct 30, 2013

Kenzie L.

I've honestly only used products with those ingredients in them. I know you can mix and dilute oils though to use them
