Spots? Try tea tree!

Okay, so we all break out once in a while (if you don't grr@u).

Now I don't know about you, but when I break out I get myself into a state. I am a bit of a drama queen (or so im told). This gives me more spots! And its not until I calm down that they do start to go (well, with the help of a little tea tree!).

This is one of the only Superdrug brand products that I like - Tea Tree essential oil 100%. Its quite expensive for its size (I think it was like £3 or something) but to be fair, tea tree oil isn't cheap, and this is probably one of the least expensive pots you will find. You dab this onto a spot (diluted- the instructions are on the pot) and overnight it should (dont hold me to this) decrease. I dab it on with a cotton ball undiluted- but this is not recommended so do so at your own risk (and probably don'f if you have super sensitive skin).

The other little gem in the picture, is a tea tree toner tab by Lush. Again, I don't usually like Lush products- even though the bath bombs are nice I think they are soooo over priced. But this I love love love! You pop it into a pot of hot water (be careful!) and put your face over the pot as it fizzes away- and stay there for about 10 minutes. I would suggest putting a tea towl over your head to stop any steam escaping. They are only about 75p each!

Tea tree oil is a naturally occurring oil, which has been used for years to help spots. It (supposedly) has the same spot reducing nature of Benzoyl Perozide, without the serious drying effect. So if your at a loss, give it a try and tell us what you think!
