So, I’ve been trying out this tea tree oil face wash thing. I’ve heard a lot about tea tree oil and how it can be good for your skin, so I decided to give it a shot.

I did some quick searches online and it seems that tea tree oil is a pretty popular ingredient in skincare. People say it’s good for cleaning your face, fighting acne, and can even help with minor burns. Sounds good, right? But some people also mention it can be a bit harsh on the skin, causing dryness or irritation. Okay, I need to be careful with this stuff.

First, I needed to actually get my hands on a tea tree oil face wash. There are tons of options out there, like, from different brands and in different forms. I saw gels, foams, and even some that looked like regular soap.

After browsing through a few stores and reading some product descriptions, I finally picked one that seemed decent. It was a foaming face wash from a brand called “Boots”, I also found some other brands named “The Body Shop” and “Australian Bodycare”. It claimed to be antibacterial and good for oily skin. I just grabbed one without thinking too much, to be honest. Oh, and I also made sure to check if it had other stuff in it, like some had witch hazel mixed in, but I just went for the basic tea tree oil one.

Using the Face Wash:

• I started by splashing some water on my face to get it wet.
• Then, I pumped a little bit of the face wash onto my hand. It foamed up nicely, which was kind of satisfying.
• I gently massaged the foam onto my face, making sure to cover all areas.
• It felt a bit tingly, which I guess is normal for tea tree oil. But some areas started feeling a bit, like, burning, especially around my nose.
• After a minute or so, I rinsed it all off with cold water.

The Result:

My skin felt super clean afterward, like, squeaky clean. But, it also felt a bit tight and dry. And that burning sensation around my nose? Yeah, that area turned a bit red and was definitely irritated. I guess my skin is kind of sensitive to this stuff, or maybe I used too much, I don’t know. It wasn’t terrible, but it definitely wasn’t the amazing experience I was hoping for. I guess I’ll keep using it for a few more days, being extra careful, and see if it gets better.

My Takeaway:

Tea tree oil face wash might be good for some people, especially if you have oily skin or acne. But, it’s not for everyone. If you have sensitive skin like me, be careful. Maybe start with a small amount and see how your skin reacts. And if it starts to burn or irritate your skin, maybe this isn’t the right product for you.
