Why Tea Tree Oil is Great for Your Face

by Trish



Tee Tree Oil is well known for its fabulous range of uses and is known for being a natural antiseptic. Part of what makes this sought-after product so appealing is its wide range of uses. It can be used for aromatherapy in the treatment of alleviating headaches and colds, fungal infections, bacterial infections, cleaning, relief for a dry and itchy scalp, lice, acne, and minor cuts. It has also has found its niche in the use of facial cleansers, soaps and topical treatment. Its natural purifying characteristics make it a smart choice in using it as a daily skin regime. It is gentle in getting rid of impurities and takes care of excess oil without drying out the skin leaving it looking clear of skin flaws. Getting control over excess oil is crucial to preventing future breakouts and luckily you have the power to take such control in your skin routine.


Tee Tree Oil comes from leaves that grow on a tea tree in Australia. As an anti-fungal agent, it keeps bacteria from penetrating skin. No bacteria means no acne, no fungal infections, no athlete’s foot and that’s good news for anyone. There is also a softer side to Tea Tree Oil as it works to soothe existing acne conditions. If looking to treat blemishes, oily skin, bacteria or fungal infections, look for Tea Tree Oil with terpinen-4-ol which contains antiseptic characteristics that treat those skin ailments.

Available in health care stores, online and beauty-supply stores, Tea Tree Oil can be used to calm other existing skin conditions such as boils, psoriasis, eczema, rashes, insect bites, sunburns, and heal minor wounds. We could mention more, but don’t want to run out of space.  It plays a large role in skin rejuvenation, which means healthy skin and healthy skin makes you smile. In addition to ingredients, packaging is important to take into consideration as well. Tea Tree Oil that comes in brown glass is not affected by sunlight which can break down the working elements of Tea Tree Oil. Be somewhat wary if it comes mixed with eucalyptus or peppermint oil which makes the powerful action of Tea Tree Oil less effective.

More and more, the use of Tea Tree Oil is taking precedence in uses for treatment over benzoyl peroxide, especially in the treatment for blemishes, simply because Tea Tree Oil is a more sensitive solution when it comes to side effects. It doesn’t over dry the skin, creating irritation and itchiness (that you can do without) and won’t leave a stinging or burning sensation that benzoyl peroxide can sometimes cause (because no one enjoys that feeling).

Tea Tree’s bacteria fighting elements eradicates can and is applicable in healing a long list of skin imperfections. Doubling as a toner, Tea Tree Oil evens out skin tone to achieve a smooth, bright complexion. It’s all natural ingredients is not only good for your face, its results will leave you feeling good about yourself and your skin.

Having problems with my skin again ..

by The Diva

I’ve been having some problems with my skin again. I really shouldn’t since it’s winter and the air is dry, but I’m breaking out a little bit and it’s bothering me.

I think it’s happening because of a medication that I’m taking for my migraines. The medication actually makes me sweat less and while you’d think this would actually help with skin problems it seems to work the opposite way … on my skin anyway!

I recently came across a site located at www.acneskincare.org and I think I’m going to spend some time late this evening checking it out. Maybe I’ll get a few ideas from it that will help my particular situation. Perhaps- in the meantime, some of you will also have some ideas for me too?

Steps to clearer skin

by The Diva

Yesterday I told you about how my skin has been suddenly breaking out in blemishes. It’s been happening for at least a month, maybe longer.

I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out why I’m suddenly having a skin problem when I’ve never really had an issue before and the only logical reason I can come up with is that it must be either hormonal acne or a side effect of my new medication.

I figure it’s one of the two. Either way … as of last night I started a new skin care regime. Every week I’m going to do a deep skin cleaning, and each day I’ll use gentle but thorough cleansing products on my skin and follow them up with moisturizers.

I drink lots of water and eat fairly healthy so I don’t think there’s much I can change diet wise that will help. Any other suggestions?

How do you take care of your skin?

by The Diva

I guess I’ve been fairly lucky to be blessed with good skin. Actually my whole family has nice skin and I guess you could say good genes as far as aging goes, because everyone in my family, from my parents to my brothers and sister all look at least 10 years if not more younger than they actually are.

Oh sure, I had some skin problems when I was a teenager. A little bit of acne and some blackheads but nothing too bad.

I do battle enlarged pores on a constant basis though. If I don’t take care of my skin -well, especially on my nose, I’ll get some blackheads.

Lately I’ve taken to cleaning my face with Noxema. I did that when I was a teen and about a month ago I started using the skin cleanser again.

What I do is get a face cloth and wet it with hot water. I then place the hot cloth over my face to open up the pores. Then I gently massage some Noxema into my skin and rinse it off with a warm cloth. When I’m done cleaning my face I rinse the cloth out in cold water and pat my face with the cold cloth to close my pores.

My skin always feels fresh and tingly clean when I’m done. I like washing my face that way in the morning because it’s invigorating.

At night I usually just wash my face with a mild soap and then use facial creams that are meant for night use.

I guess that since I have Crohn’s and I’m sick quite often it’s at least nice that I have fairly good skin and look younger than I am.

How do you take care of your skin? Have you had problems with acne, blackheads or enlarged pores?

I need to find a good under eye cream

by The Diva

Earlier today I wrote a post on one of my other blogs ( My World) about how I haven’t been taking care of my skin as good as I should be.

I have fairly good skin and thanks to good family genes everyone in my family tends to look at least ten years younger than their actual age … but still, I think I should start using moisturizer regularly again.

Yes I’ve slacked off in the last few years. I used to use moisturizer daily but now that I’m home pretty much all the time I just don’t use it and my skin seems dry and dare I say even a little bit dull?

I have some good day and night moisturizers but now I’m trying to find the best under eye creams. I don’t get enough rest because I just don’t sleep well, so I often have dark circles under my eyes. I know that a good under eye cream can help.

Do any of you know of any good under eye creams that will not only moisturize, protect the delicate skin under the eye and also help to eliminate dark circles under the eye?
