Ingredients:
My Experience with The Body shop Tea Tree Oil:
If there is only one product I have to buy from The Body shop forever, that would be The Body shop Tea Tree Oil. Clearly I love it. Let’s dive into details.
Packaging:
The Body shop Tea Tree Oil comes in a small dark green transparent glass bottle with plastic drop mechanism and matte black push-rotate open cap. The packaging is travel friendly.
Consistency & Smell:
TBS Tea Tree Oil had runny oil consistency and it smells strongly of tea tree. It is pure tea tree oil as per The body shop.
How I Use it & Its Effectiveness:
Though TBS says: Apply directly to areas of concern, using fingertips or a cotton bud and gently pat into skin. I have super sensitive skin. And I will never suggest applying any kind of essential oil directly on skin as it can burn on sensitive skin or over-dry it. I always suggest diluting it by mixing it in your serum or moisturizer. In the beginning it does give tingling or stinging sensation which goes away in some time and once your skin gets used to the product, tingling sensation goes away in future applications.
Here are the ways I use it and how it helps:
- I normally mix 1 drop in my moisturizer in hand (both day and night) everyday just before applying it on face. This helped in clarifying my skin and prevents breakouts in long run.
- When I have breakouts or I see some pimple coming up, I mix 2-3 drops in my moisturizer and apply it all over my face. This really helps calming down the active breakouts and inflammation as well.
- When I get dandruff and itchy scalp, I like to mix 7-8 drops of TBS tea tree oil in my hair oil before applying. It gives relief with itchiness and dandruff.
Pro-tips:
- When dealing with active ingredients, always start slow. Try mixing 1 drop in moisturizer and do a patch test. If patch test is alright then apply it allover the face in same manner.
- Build tolerance to the product. slowly increase the quantity to 2-3 drops.
- Never apply it on raw skin and by that I mean do not apply it on clean face. Even if you have rigid and tolerative skin, do your skincare including moisturizer and then apply it directly on affected area. For sensitive skin, i do not recommend direct application at all.
Final Verdict: 5/5
For me The Body shop Tea Tree Oil is a multi-purpose product and I love what it does for my skin. This never irritated my sensitive skin and I have finished many bottles of it. This product is very effective and more potent than any other tea tree oils I have tried including Nykaa, fabindia and soulflower ones. It helps with active breakouts and also regular application helps in preventing future breakouts. It is a gem and ever since I tried this, this is the only tea tree oil I purchase. This 20 ml bottle lasts me for about 6 months when used regularly. Totally recommended and already repurchased many times. Always keep an eye on sale for this one along with the foaming cleanser from the same range..
