Oil is good for you - The magic of tea tree

Advantages: Can be used for just about every discomfort; smells lovely
Disadvantages: very expensive

...Tea Tree seems to work wonders for everything with me and there are a range of different products that contain this essential oil to perform different healing properties. Tea Tree 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 tea tree still work wonders. I will point out just to cover my own back, that despite the label of 'tea', this oil is non-ediable! ***** Types of tea tree products; uses; health benefits and effects 1. Incense - I usepure natural tea tree oil iin my intense burner at night. An intense burner is a porcelin pot with a hole in the middle...

Review of Tea Tree

tea tree lavendar and mint...

Advantages: works well at clearing scalp issues, silky hair, very moisturising
Disadvantages: strong almost sickening smell of tea tree and lavender

...The Tea Tree special shampoo is part of Paul mitchell's tea tree range which has has specific focus on dry, itchy and drandruff prone scalps.. he has three shampoo's in the range, one is the tea tree special shampoo, the tea tree lemon and sage (thickening) and tea tree lavendar and mint (moisturising) I bought the last one.. while i know this is a review for tea tree special shampoo i couldnt find it on Ciao, also all three have very similar ingredients. I chose the tea tree lavender and mint because my hair is chemically processed and a s a result pretty damamged! As this is moisturising I picked this one. I was able to get the shampoo and conditinoer for 20 pounds and the bottles were a bottle green color and was 300ml. The new Tea tree range is all packaged in bottle green bottles so if you see one that is in the standard paul...

Review of Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo

A Brilliant Facial Wipe from the Boots Tea Tree Range

Advantages: Works well, smells nice, does not dry out.
Disadvantages: None for me

...I have used Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel cleanser on my face every night for many years now. I have tried others at various times but always come back to this one. I have written a review about it if you are interested. Anyway a while ago I was in Boots and had a voucher for £1 off any item in the Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel range. When I looked the items were already on offer at 2 for £5 so I chose a bottle of my favourite cleanser and as I needed a new pack of cleansing wipes I decided to try the ones from this range. As I said earlier I use the liquid cleanser every night when I am at home but when I travel away taking cleanser and pads is a bit of a faff so I use wipes which I keep in my vanity case so they are ready to go. The Packaging The full title of these wipes is Boots Cleansing and Toning Wipes (30...

Review of Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Cleansing and Toning Wipes

Tea Tree - Treatment for Acne

Advantages: Excellent in the treatment of many skin and cold ailments.
Disadvantages: It should be noted that people who suffer with sensitive skin should use Tea Tree oil with caution. Also note, pregnant women, people suffering with epilepsy and small children should seek professional advice before using any essential oil.

...Tea Tree (Melalenca Alternifolia) is a small tree or shrub with needlelike leaves, not dissimilar to that of the cypress. It can have either yellow or purple flowers and originates from Australia. The Aboriginal people used Tea Tree leaves as a traditional remedy, which they made into tea, hence its name. Tea Tree essential oil is primarily an anti-infection oil, it has antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties and is frequently used for treatment of skin problems such as spots, acne, warts, verrucaes, athlete’s foot, rashes, insect bites, burns, blisters etc. etc. I use Tea Tree a great deal, especially for cleaning cuts and wounds as it prevents them becoming infected and helps the skin to heal better by encouraging the formation of scar tissue. Tea Tree is also effective against dandruff - it is used in quite...

...websites for advice ( and some scary pics) which you can check out. Headlice.org Headliceinfo.com There are loads of products to buy that will help with getting rid of these little monsters, to name a couple.

Mint & Tea Tree Marvel

Advantages: Gets rid of product build-up
Disadvantages: Can sting the scalp/skin, dries my hair out with daily use

...The Product Original Source Mint & Tea Tree Daily Refresh Shampoo is available in 100ml or 250ml bottles, priced at 99p and £2.49 at the Original source website. The 250ml size is also stocked by Boots, Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda, Morrisons, and Waitrose according to their website, but I've only ever personally seen it in Boots and Tesco. Why I Bought It Though I very rarely use styling products on my hair, and so don't have a problem with product build-up, I live in a very hard water area, and am left with dulling 'build-up' as a result of washing my hair. Last time my hairdresser washed my hair she suggested using a shampoo containing Tea Tree, as it helps to remove any residue or dulling product build-up from your hair. So I went down to Tesco to see what I could find and this little beauty jumped straight into my basket...

Review of Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)

tea tree conditioner

Advantages: leaves hair soft and clean
Disadvantages: horrible green colour

...I am quite a big fan of tea tree products and I previously reviewed Alberto Balsam tea tree tingle shampoo which I liked (mainly because of the price!) but now I have discovered what I consider to be a much better range of tea tree hair products and I thought I?d tell you all about them! I was given a large gift bag full of avon tea tree products for my birthday, some of which I had already used and liked (The tea tree peel off mask is a long term favourite of mine, which I reviewed on Ciao a while ago). I have used Avon shampoo?s and conditioners in the past, but not from the Naturals range, a range which I think is mainly aimed at the teenage market. PACKAGING The conditioner comes in a clear tube, so you can see the product which is green. It has a black screw top lid which it stands on. Avon have recently changed the design...

Tea Tree Nose Strips

Advantages: Easy to use, Great results!
Disadvantages: none

...affect which can lead to making things only worse. The biore nose strips bond to the dirt and blackheads on your nose. The moisturiser that came with it did not help either and left a dry feel to my skin. After this disaster which I have my sister to thank for (who I will not listen to again), I tried the tea tree nose strip range. I have been using the tea tree facewipes for a while now and always see the grease and durt evidence on the wipes that build up after a long day. So when i was told that they also provide nose strips I did not hesitate to try, there could be nothing worse than my expierience with biore. So I hurried home and looked at the instructions, they were simple, easy to understand and the packaging was neat, a green box which was quite eye catching but very effective in its simplicity-in my opinion. The pack...
