Okay, so I’ve been trying out this new thing lately – making my own tea tree oil facial wash. You know how it is, always on the lookout for something that’s good for the skin without all those harsh chemicals. I’ve heard a bunch about tea tree oil being great for acne and stuff, so I thought, why not give it a shot?

First off, I gathered all my ingredients. I mean, it’s not like I needed a ton of stuff. Basically, I grabbed some tea tree oil, of course – that’s the main thing here. Then, I picked up some mild liquid soap, the unscented kind, because I didn’t want any weird fragrance mixing in. Oh, and some water, just regular tap water, nothing fancy. I also found a small bottle with a pump, which I figured would be perfect for dispensing the wash.

Mixing it up

• I started by pouring about half a cup of the liquid soap into the bottle.
• Next, I added around 10-15 drops of the tea tree oil. I’ve read somewhere that you gotta be careful with essential oils, don’t want to overdo it and irritate your skin, right?
• Then, I filled up the rest of the bottle with water, leaving a little space at the top.
• I screwed the pump back on and gave the whole thing a good shake. It turned all cloudy, which I guess is normal when you’re mixing soap and water.

After making it, the real test began. I’ve been using this homemade wash for about two weeks now. I pump a little onto my hand, lather it up, and wash my face, just like I would with any other cleanser. I make sure to rinse it off well with water.

Honestly, I’m pretty stoked about the results. My skin feels cleaner, and I’ve noticed fewer breakouts. It’s not like a miracle or anything, but it’s definitely doing something good. Plus, I like that I know exactly what’s in it. No weird chemical names I can’t pronounce. I will continue using it for a while longer.

So, yeah, that’s my little experiment with tea tree oil facial wash. It’s simple, cheap, and seems to be working for me. If you’re into natural stuff and looking for a new face wash, maybe give this a try. Just remember, everyone’s skin is different, so what works for me might not work the same for you. But hey, it’s worth a shot, right?
