#5 TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL
Tea Tree Oil is another one of those multi use ingredients I recommend you keep in your bathroom (and kitchen) at all times. Tea Tree oil is another antibacterial/antimicrobial ingredient that helps to prevent acne or acne causing bacteria. Sometimes i use this as a spot treatment on a blemish or pimple, other times, i mix it in with my honey to give my cleanse a little tingle. Please be careful when using tea tree essential oil as you do when using any essential oil as these are highly concentrated and can end up burning you if not diluted correctly.
I use Now Foods Tea Tree oil or Aura Cacia which is sold at Whole Foods (and now even Target).
These are my ride or die. Top 5 things I ALWAYS keep in my house. Let me know in the comments below if you’ve tried anything. What’s your top 5?

I love my rosewater spray! Makes me feel lovely when I’m out & about, battling the outside air, and need a mist of freshness. I have normal-type skin & it doesn’t seem to make me oily or dry me out. Just a dewy moistness.
Also love my bentonite clay. The mask gets it done when I add ACV into the mix. For removal, I place a large bowl underneath the faucet to avoid letting the clay run down the drain. Scared it will clog up.
I have yet to use honey for my skin! But from your two other honey posts, I believe it’s time for me to try.
My tops includes whipped Shea butter for all-over body, grapeseed oil for my face (not too heavy), and Panoxyl benzoyl peroxide cream wash, which has so far been the only thing that helps my cystic acne 🙁

the bowl underneath the faucet is a smart idea! I need to try this. And yes, I’ve been using honey for my skin for about 5 years. It will always be one of my staples, especially manuka honey. I also Use whipped shea with grapeseed or apricot oil (lighter in texture for summer) keeps my skin super soft and glowing. Thank you for taking the time to read!
