The Body Shop Tea Tree Range 3 in 1, Daily Solution Review

The Body Shop Tea Tree Range 3 in 1, Daily Solution Review

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing these two new products added in The Body Shop Tea Tree Range. I have been using these since about 2.5 weeks now and here are my thoughts..

The Body Shop Tea Tree Range 3 in 1, Daily Solution Review

The Body Shop Tea Tree Range 3-in-1 Wash Scrub Mask

Claims: A clean and mean multi-tasking cleanser with foaming kaolin clay, volcanic minerals and Community Trade Tea Tree Oil that tackles the appearance of clogged pores, blackheads and shine. Perfect for those with blemish-prone skin. Use this triple threat cleanser as: 1. A daily wash to purify 2. A scrub to clear and tighten the appearance of pores and smooth the skin’s surface 3. A mask to deep cleanse and mattify the skin’s appearance

MRP: Rs.1295/- for 125ml

Ingredients:

This is the star product of this range. It’s a wash, scrub, mask all in one. It comes in a green flip cap tube packaging.

It has a white creamy base with small grey-black granules in it. Now when you use it as a face wash, it doesn’t foam and you actually end up using it as a scrub.

So I feel it should have been scrub/mask only. But as a scrub, it works great. It exfoliates very gently and would be perfect for sensitive skin too.

I love using it as a mask though. And then once it is dried, I wet my hands and scrub it, so basically I use it like both, at once 🙂

It dries super quick, in about 5-7 minutes, since it it clay based. It has a tingly, minty smell and feeling. Skin looks clean and completely matte post washing. It feels tighter and the pores look closed. Since it has tea tree and kaolin clay, this mask is absolutely perfect for oily, acne prone skin.

And the fact that it is multi-tasking is nice, as you can carry only this when you are travelling. Recommended.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Range Anti- Imperfection Daily Solution

Claims: Our 100% Community Trade tea tree oil is infused into the NEW Anti-Imperfection Daily Solution for just the right amount of all-over-face application, to pack a punch against blemishes. The result? A lightweight, fast-absorbing serum at an effective dosage.

MRP: Rs.1595/- for 50ml

Ingredients:

This comes in a big glass bottle with a dropper. The bottle is transparent but has a green tint.

The formula of this daily solution is very light, it feels exactly like water. It is runny and you need one pump i.e. about 8-9 drops for using all over the face. It has a strong tea tree smell.

Tea tree oil is a little concentrated and should be used only on acne and diluted with another base oil or water, if you have sensitive skin. This daily solution is already diluted and hence, safe to use all over the face, even for people with sensitive skin.

With time and regular, continuous use, it also helps in fading acne spots. It also has salicylic acid, alfalfa extracts, aloe vera, tocopherol (Vitamin E) along with tea tree oil.

It does not irritate the skin at all. I have not had any major breakouts since the time I am using this. One-two white heads on the nose, which have also settled down, on their own.

If you have always been a fan of the classic tea tree oil from The Body Shop, you will love this too! It may seem a little expensive, but the quantity offered is a lot. Especially for the Daily Solution, it is 50ml and you need 8-10 drops per use.

The main ingredient of this entire range i.e. tea tree is being sourced from Kenya, helping the farmers there and enriching their lives. As always, The Body Shop does it’s bit.

Also they have a special game created for this range ‘Battle of the Blemishes’, you can play it HERE. You can unlock special offers from The Body Shop clearing each level!

I recommend both these products for oily, acne prone skin. These are perfect additions to the Tea Tree Range.

The Body Shop Oils Of Life Sleeping Cream, Essence Lotion Review

The Body Shop Oils Of Life Sleeping Cream, Essence Lotion Review

Hi guys,

I had reviewed The Body Shop Oils of Life Revitalizing Facial Oil last year HERE. And I have often mentioned it on my Snapchat and my monthly favourites on YouTube! It is my absolute favourite!

I tried two other products from this same range including the recent addition, the ‘Sleeping Cream’. Here are my thoughts on them..

I use the Body Shop Oils of Life Essence Lotion at first, followed by 2-3 drops of the Facial Oil and the Sleeping Cream at the end. I have been following this regime every night since the past month.

The Body Shop Oils Of Life Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion

Claims: Enjoy a highly-sensorial experience, with its bi-phase (oil + water) formula, this Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion supremely combines the freshness of water and the nourishing feel of oil. Our Essence Lotion has a lightweight refreshing texture that glides onto skin and leaves a pleasurable soft touch finish without a greasy feel. Our Essence Lotion provides instant visible results while preparing and activating skin for the next steps of your routine.

MRP: Rs.1895 for 160ml

Ingredients:

It’s a bi-phase oil and water formula and needs to be shaken well before use. It comes in a long, sleek plastic bottle and the dispensor dispenses quite a few drops. You can use it either on a cotton pad or directly with your hands, I have tried both.

It feels just like water and the oil content cannot be felt, it is very light weight and has a refreshing smell. It gets absorbed in a few seconds and it is meant to prep and activate the skin for the next step.

I was quite excited to try this out as I have never tried a oil + water essence before, but unfortunately it was giving me small whiteheads all around and on my nose. I was using this on and off and didn’t realize it was only this product. I was still figuring out what was causing the break outs and I gave my skin a break for few days and stopped using anything. Again after few days when I started using this, I got those whiteheads.

A few days ago Shalini from Be Beautilicious reviewed this product and she mentioned that this essence lotion was giving her whiteheads and I was like OMG, it is this! I finally realized it was this product that was causing those whiteheads thanks to Shalini.

I stopped using it then and now I only use the oil and sleeping cream. Though I feel I can use this on the other parts of my face avoiding the nose, I will try to use this again.

The Body Shop Oils of Life Sleeping Cream

Claims:  A night time cream, to moisturise, revitalise and nourish the skin whilst you sleep. Skin looks and feels:

– Revitalised
– More supple
– Nourished
– Visibly Rested
– Reduced appearance of ageing

MRP: Rs.2495/- for 80ml

Ingredients:

It comes in a heavy glass jar and has the same golden yellow tint outer see through packaging with the black cap. It has a white separator on the top, but I usually just slid it on top so that I don’t have to lift it each time.

The cream is light yellow in color and has the same smell as the oil, I love the smell! Though the cream is a blend of oils and has the same three blend of black cumin, rosehip and camellia (along with other oils too), it is aqua based and very light in texture. It does not feel greasy or heavy or leaves no sticky residue on the skin. It gets absorbed immediately.

I love my skin the next morning, it leaves the skin soft, supple, nourished and rested, exactly as it claims! This sleeping cream will work for all skin types as it balances the oiliness and dryness perfectly and leave the skin hydrated and moisturized from within.

How I use it: I remove my makeup and wash my face with a face wash. I use the facial oil and follow it up with the sleeping cream. I also used the essence lotion earlier before the facial oil. But since the essence was breaking me out, I only used these two.

I love it and highly recommend it! Both the facial oil and the sleeping cream, I have already recommended the facial oil to so many people and this sleeping cream is the perfect addition to it! Though it is slightly on the expensive side, it will last you for a long time! I still have 50% of my facial oil remaining and I have been using it since last year!

I would not recommend the essence lotion if you have acne prone or sensitive skin or break out easily. I will still give that a try again avoiding my T zone, but the other two products are must haves!
