Anatomicals - zap! zap! zap! gets that chap - Spot Stick

My skin doesn't understand that I'm not a teenager anymore.
I still get pimples... occasionally they are impressively bad!

So I thought I'd give this spot treatment a try.
It has a night and day treatment.

The day treatment is clear and smells kind of citrus-y.
The night treatment is white and smells like tea tree oil.

I used it on a few pimples I had over the past few months and... I don't think it really did anything.

Toothpaste is still the best thing I have for pimples.

Price: 3/5 ($7.03 for 7mL total)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

Purple Prairie Botanicals - Shampoo Bar - Cedarwood & Tea Tree

This was a free sample! :D

I had never used solid shampoo before!
It smells really nice, the cedarwood is the main scent (which I freaking love!).

It leaves your hair SUPER clean, squeaky clean!
If you want your hair CLEAN clean, try this!

The only downside was my scalp didn't like being THAT clean, I had bad dandruff afterward.
In retrospect my scalp may have liked a conditioner afterward.

Price: 4.5/5 ($5.50 for 226.8g)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Thursday Plantation - Tea Tree Hand & Body Lotion

Like Toula's father in 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' who thinks Windex is a panacea, my alleged father thinks tea tree oil cures all.

I usually just tell him that he expects too much of a simple oil and leave it at that.

Then recently I got a little bit of a dry patch on my leg and figured why not use this for a test?

The Thursday Plantation hand and body lotion smells strongly of tea tree oil, but also contains a number of other botanical extracts as well, including witch hazel, macadamia and honeysuckle.
It is a good viscosity for a lotion as well.

I put it on my dry skin for three days and... It tore my skin to shreads! :(
It became red, itchy, weeping and sore.

I think the problem may be that this contains too much of the oil... and that the oil is NOT the magical cure-all you think it is, father!

A better treatment for dry skin/burns/eczema:

Soooo much better!

Price: 3.5/5 (RRP $13.30 for 200mL)
Scent: 1/5 (I think it is stinky)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Brazilian Butterfly - Tea Tree Body Lotion

Tea tree is not my favourite scent, and this was strong on the scent front.
I also don't believe tea tree to be a miracle anti-bacterial oil and I didn't see any amazing results to conclude otherwise.

A non-irritating lotion which was a bit thinner than I would have liked.

This was very blah to me, it didn't wow me, it just existed and I existed and we were both things at the same time.

A better lotion:

The Body Shop body butter is great!

Price: 3/5 ($18.00 for 200mL)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 2/5

Brazilian Butterfly - Tea Tree Body Wash - with Sea Salt and Aloe

I purchased this to help care for my skin after a recent waxing session (Pro Tip: it hurts like a b!%@#)

This calming wash won't upset your (possibly recently maimed) skin and will help keep the skin happy and healthy. 

It smells strongly of tea tree oil (a natural antiseptic... also if you are my dad: STOP RECOMMENDING IT FOR EVERYTHING!) which is a green, pleasant scent.

The lather isn't the best though, which makes me a sad panda.

Solution: 

FILL THE ROOM WITH BUBBLES!!! XD
