Okay so a whole ago I started using Tea Tree Oil on my pimples to clear them up but after a few days of use it burns the skin around the pimple and then completely dries it out. I just wanted to know if you've ever used it and your experiences. :)

If you're using pure tea tree oil you're not supposed to use it everyday, that's why it causes the burning. It's an antiseptic with anti-bacterial properties, so it's used to kill fungus but because it's so pure it shouldn't be used all the time. Maybe about twice a week to the effected area. You can buy tea tree cleansers which are safe to use everyday.

Ooo..you should have dilluted it with another oil D: tea tree oil is very strong. Mix it with two parts olive oil and one part tea tree.

I use grease lightning by lush everyday and it works fine, it's a tea tree gel but it has other ingredients so its not as strong but it gets the job done. =)
