The Body Shop Skin Care (Tea Tree Range)


Hello everyone!
I thought that I should try new skin care products to treat my blemishes, so I went to The Body Shop and headed straight to their Tea Tree section to pick up a few of their products that day.

As I have a sensitive and blemish-prone skin, I decided to try out the Tea Tree skin care essentials first. 
I have been using these Tea Tree products for quite some times now and I am loving it a ton! Although the Tea Tree Range can be considered expensive, but I feel that it is worth the price as they really do help to reduce the appearance of blemishes within 3 days.



First, I have my favorite facial cleanser for now. This cleanser really helps to deep cleansed my face without over-drying the skin and it also removes excess sebum (oil) on the surface, which makes my face feels more refreshed and clean after that. The smell of the facial wash is kind of overwhelming for the first few times and it may sting my eyes/face, but it gets a little more gentle afterwards! 


Next, I tone my face with the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner. It is those kind of toner with mattifying powders settle at the bottom, so I have to 'shake to activate' them before using. This toner really tone my skin effectively and also removes traces of dirt, which leaves my skin looking matte. When applying this on my face, I did feel a cooling-mint effect, which I kind of don't like it at first and it does have a slight scent too. Probably the smell of Tea Tree?!?


Then, I treat my blemishes with the Tea Tree Oil. This oil is not oily at all and it dries up quickly when applied to my face, and it helps to clear my blemishes really quickly. It also has a scent similar to the cleanser and toner, but it was not that strong like the other products. I love everything about this product, but not for it's super tiny size and price!


Lastly, I moisturise my face with this lotion! I find it to be a nice, lightweight, overall treatment for my blemishes as it isn't too harsh for my sensitive skin. This product helps to absorb excess sebum (oil) and also control shine, which I find that it helps to shorten the life of any spot I have.

Tea Tree Skin Cleanser - $20.90
Tea Tree Clearing Toner - $22.90
Tea Tree Oil - $18.90
Tea Tree Lotion - $29.90

So there you have it! As you can see, their Tea Tree range is not the cheapest, but I think it's justifiable to spend a little more as you have only one face and everybody sees it! As Christmas is coming soon, The Body Shop is having a sales, so they are selling these products for the price of $59.90 instead of $92.60! 
Hopefully this post has provided you with some insight into these products. If not, do check out The Body Shop (Tea Tree)

Shop till you drop

Hello!
It was a tiring yet fun day yesterday as I went out with sis and it was a foodie/shopping day rather than a day playing in USS.

Firstly, we went to Forever 21 to get some new clothes and shorts. I bought a leather shorts, while my sis bought a muscle tank!
After that, we went to walk around the mall as it was still raining cats and dogs, and we saw a vintage shop which sells lots of beautiful vintage stuffs.
Then, we finally headed down USS.


and the first thing we did was to get CHURRO!


The sun was so hot and bright after the rain... but it was a good lighting to take picture though.


Then, we just went to the usual place to have "photoshoot" (step model) as the backgrounds there are really lovely and the lighting was good.


and then we went to eat and eat and eat AGAIN...


We only managed to took 2 rides which are the rides at the Madagascar area as the other rides are just too long and ya, this will be the last time we will be visiting here (maybe?) as our pass is expired after today! :(


Just typical girls who love to take photos of themselves.

 
We also took polaroids with the adventure time films.


Lastly, we watched the Sesame show before leaving the place.


Just before leaving, we just had to get CHURRO again hahaha.


Also, we tired the Fiji water which is kind of expensive but nice though!


and we had our dinner at toast box before heading back to Jurong Point.


After reaching JP, we went to the body shop and I got myself the Tea Tree skin care products which can help to get rid of blemishes and they are having Christmas sales now, so the price is so much cheaper than before. Thus, I must get them right?! haha! I will be doing a review after using the products, so do check out my next post!


That's all for yesterday.
xoxo!
