TeaTree seems to work wonders for everything with me and there are a range of different products that contain this essentialoil to perform different healing properties.
TeaTree is a clear, very strong natural oil taken from the leaves of a plant called the 'Melaleuca alternifolia' along the streams (er, and swamps) in Australia. You can buy it in concentrated form (albeit very expensive as you can imagine) but most product such as shampoo's. lotions and antispetics which contain low does of teatree still work wonders. I will point out just to cover my own back, that despite the label of 'tea', this oil is non-ediable!

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Tea Tree
fresh and tingly after washing, I did not persist in using it as it did not improve my skin and if anything actually made it worse. I think there is some debate currently about whether exfoliation really benefits acne and whether in fact it doesn't just exacerbate the problem. I switched to simply using a regular moisturising facial wash and applying Body Shop pureteatreeoil to problem areas, and my skin improved quite quickly.
---Value for money---
A bit pricey given that there are other facial washes, including exfoliators, which are cheaper. Currently is priced at GBP 3-4.
---Availability---
In all Body Shop outlets (UK and Australia).
---Summary---
Not a particularly good product for me, and not great value for money; perhaps best enjoyed by those who regularly use exfoliating face washes and are looking to try ...
The Eighth Wonder of the World.
Yes another over the top description of a product, that probably most of you haven’t even heard of! TeaTreeOil, otherwise known as Melaleuca Alternifolia, is an underrated marvel of today’s world. It’s a shrub native to Australia, which, for thousands of years, was made into poultices and suchlike, by the Aborigines, for the purposes of healing wounds and other skin conditions.
Nowadays however, you just pop to Superdrug, or QVC if you want a bargain in the old TeaTreeOil department. One 25ml bottle contains the equivalent of four, 18
month old TeaTrees, which have been processed by steam distillation to remove the essentialoil.
Several companies manufacture TeaTreeOil, but I like Australian Bodycare best, as it is 100% pure Melaleuca Alternifolia, and they have huge ...
