So basically I never really breakout like crazy I only have the odd couple of spots on my forehead but now I all of a sudden have TONS of spots all over my face- cheeks (I never get them there) , upper lip and chin (again never get them there), forehead, side of face ,nose

Any tips and advice would be fantastic thank you! Xoxo

Yeah try to figure out what caused the breakout like changes to your diet or maybe stress, hormones or any new makeup or skin care products you used that May have caused it n go from there.

I agree with Rebecca and also make sure you eat healthy and use an oil free moisturiser with the tea tree wash. Use a spot treatment of 15% tea tree oil on your active acne.

I would maybe try switching cleansers and routine just because I find that my skin sometimes begins to get used to the product and stops working... Its probably just from hormones but I would recommend Murad, Boisca, or Clinique

Two words : benzoyl peroxide 5%. It's an over the counter medication. It's cheap and it is literally the only thing that actually takes care of breakouts in the longer term. Wayne goss has a video on it too. I spent so much money on expensive brands and tea tree oil products for months! My zits would sometimes get better, sometimes worse. But benzac is the medicine that ultimately worked and at a fraction of the cost. I have jars and tubes and bottles upon bottles of branded products just sitting on my dresser now.

Try the coal face or fresh farmacy from lush...n remember to always moisterize well as soon as you pat skin dry.
I alternate between apricot oil or sweet almond oil. I wait a few minutes for it to absorb or else blot some off with tissue n apply my benzoyl peroxide (I use duac- RX clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide-I got from MD).
@PM I do same cleansing/moisterizing but follow with tazorac.
Good luck finding what wks for you😉
