The Tea Tree Treatment: Try It! By snackbandit on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
First of all, I'd like to introduce you all to Tea Tree oil. A friend of mine raved about the healing properties of this stuff, but I scoffed at first... that is, until I stepped in a fire ant mound at a football game. She whipped out a tiny bottle of tea tree oil, and I applied it. Three minutes later, the stinging had stopped, the swelling had reduced, and I was hooked. So, I was delighted to find a cleanser with this stuff in it. I was a bit apprehensive using it, as my face is hyper-sensitive and sometimes reacts badly to new washes and lotions, but I quickly found that not only did it feel and smell amazing, it reduced breakouts and cut down on redness in my face. While it is not a product to use for removing makeup, it is amazing for cutting down on oily skin. I always feel super refreshed every time I use The Body Shop's tea tree oil cleanser, and I intend to buy another bottle quite soon!

Glad you had a good friend and a great product.
I have heard of this stuff, but never knew what it was used for. Sounds interesting. An what's most interesting to me is that you can use an oil to cut down on the oils in your face.
Cool!!!You had me hooked after you talked about the ants. I really want some of this stuff. I wonder what other stores carry this, because we don't have a body shop around here?
I love tea tree oil. It is amazing stuff.
