Squeaky clean!

  We've all had those nights when we sleep with our makeup. However the rule is to clean first no matter what. Woken up with a slimy, swollen face where foundation seeped its way into the pores. That requires a double clean up routine and no room for applying makeup for several hours as the skin needs to breathe otherwise, just wait for those red pimples to pop up in no time.

  The answer to the problem is The Body Shop's Tea Tree Cool and Creamy wash. I apply makeup almost everyday, even though I clean up regularly there are those times where I am downright tired and just use this wash. Since I started using the Tea Tree Cool and Creamy I find my skin to be squeaky clean.

  It removes makeup thoroughly. The formula contains peppermint which makes the face feels light and even calms the swollen look.

  The smell might be a little medicated however, its not strong and does not linger.

  This face wash is from the tea tree collection which is especially made for blemished skin. They claim "skin spotlessly clean without over drying." This I found true I have dry skin and it did not make it more dry after wash. I don't have acne problems now a days hence can't say much but due to threading and waxing on face their is redness which does come down due to the peppermint.

Caution:Skin Care alert!

Hello,

Recently I noticed some big pores on my skin which got me worried but motivated to work on some proper skin care routine. Hence, I decided to share my morning and night skin care routine. I have combination skin where my t-zone is oily and rest of my face is dry.

I diligently clean my makeup every night with the seaweed purifying facial cleanser by The Body Shop, I use this in the morning after washing my face. The seaweed line is renowned for tightening pores and works best for combination to oily skins. Not only does this clean makeup thoroughly it smooths skin's surface. At times I use it to clean my face and neck before applying makeup which gives good lasting, helps matte finish and prevents oiliness on t-zone. This is my second purchase of the cleanser and it's becoming a regular in my skincare closet. The seaweed line is a great buy for summer season.

After cleanser I use the nutriganics refreshing toner (The Body Shop) this by far has not given any buzz worthy results. It's just an okay product at least for my skin. Mostly I just use it in the morning and not on whole face only on t-zone, that's where I noticed my open pores as well. After I finish this, I'm definitely buying the seaweed toner.

I also purchased the nutriganics smoothing day cream (The Body Shop) which again is a very light moisturizer. After an hour or so even the oily parts of my skin feel dry and I need to go for another coat. I will not be buying it again and look towards other moisturizers at The Body Shop. The day cream says it 'revitalises and reduces the apperaence of lines and wrinkles' 'first signs of ageing', I cannot put any word on that as I haven't seen any change. Moreover its more expensive than other great face moisturisers at The Body Shop.

Applying esstential oils like olive oil and almond oil before sleeping has helped my skin a great deal as well. My skin feels hydrated and experiences less breakouts. Beware of not going out in the sun or expose your skin to heat after applying olive oil as it can tan skin (unless you want to).

The seaweed collection is great for the summer months, especially for countries where climate is humid.

It gives smooth matte finish. I have already bought the seaweed mattifying day cream and cant wait to write about it!

Tea Tree Blessing!

Hello,

I got a couple of sachets from The Body Shop of their masks and here is the review for the Tea Tree mask.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: (http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/shop-by-line/tea-tree/tea-tree-face-mask.aspx)

This instantly cooling face mask cleanses, soothes and refreshes the skin.

• Helps remove impurities
• Absorbs excess oil
• Soothes skin

This mask is best for people who get face wax and are victims to pimples and redness. As soon as you apply it there will be a cooling sensation this helps in reducing the itchiness in pimples and soothes the redness.

According to the website : HOW TO APPLY: 

Smooth a thin layer onto pat-dried skin, clean face and neck with your fingertips. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes (mask will not dry). Then rinse off with clean water and pat skin dry. Use once or twice per week, after cleansing.

This mask should not be used for people who have dry skin very often Once a month is good. As I have dry skin I noticed a dry skin patch when I applied makeup the next day. I would buy the full sized product however because I have acne problems and especially after face wax my face needs some cooling mask. Now I would remember to put on a heavy moisturizer afterwards.

I have heard other users say it helps to remove black heads, I did not notice however maybe after continuous use this fact come up to the surface. 

The result is amazing, my pimples have soothed and redness was reduced.
