Honey + Tea Tree Oil

Hey,

Today I wanted to talk about what I have been using to wash my face morning and night. It started when I ran out of the foam tea tree oil cleanser I had previously been using and was looking through Pinterest at the diy beauty section. I came across a post about using a mixture of tea tree oil and honey as a natural cleanser. The tea tree oil for its obvious antibacterial properties which is great for acne and blemishes and the honey for its moisturising properties, which I cannot get enough of with my normal to dry skin.

I started off by pouring some honey from the pantry into a little jar I had sitting about and approximately a cap of tea tree oil and mixing it together. I used this little concotion for about a week and noticed no break outs or extra oiliness or anything negative occuring with my skin. With this cheap alternative seemingly working I went to Woolworths and purchased myself a bigger jar of honey and proceeded to make the concotion into my little jar and store it in my shower. 

In the past week I have noticed some hormonal break outs on my chin and neck but they are no where near as large as they normally are come this particular time of the month. Plus the texture of my skin is smoother with less small blemishes felt on the surface.

So far the diy mix is economical, antibacterial and moisturiserising and causing no adverse side effects. I will be continuing to use the mix till the jar of honey I purchased has been used in its entirety.


Thanks,

Danny xx
