Advantages: perfect after shaving to help prevent itchy spots

Disadvantages: not such a pampering type product, but *very* practical.

This is the latest of the oldies to get a much-needed face-lift, and before I start, I feel I do need to say a word (or more!)about its crown! If all you want is some info about Avon's Tea-tree Shower Gel, feel free to scroll on down....

Are you sitting comfortably? Now I'll begin... (and how many of you are too young to remember that?!)

Once upon a time there was a new little baby out in cyberspace. It had within it all the potential to grow and develop into one of the big guys who roamed the ether. To do that, it needed to find and keep friendly people who would visit it and feed it so that it could grow in size and strength. One day, if it could do this for long enough, it would be big and strong enough to compete with all the big guys out there who lurked in the synapses between computer and computer waiting for someone smaller to die so they could feed on the carcase.

What this little one needed to grow was information. It fed on people's opinions about cars, it got fat on movies and books. It even enjoyed chewing on travel stories and drinking huge quantities of cosmetics and showergel opinions. Lots of the people who visited it didn't really care if it grew or not. They threw it snippets of words regurgitated from other places and they pounded out the same words repeated 75 times or more thinking the baby would never amount to much so wasn't worth their time and effort.

The baby knew it had to get good information to flourish and so it began using some of the resources it had inherited to reward those people who fed it with food that was good enough for it to grow and thrive on. These rewards had no name, but the people who had received them knew they were there and they were happy.

In time the baby was a baby no more. As it had grown, more people had begun to know and respect it and it had become strong and powerful enough to reject more of the bad food some people still tried to feed it. r><br><br>
It no longer needed basic informative opinions to surive, but its diet changed to include much richer fare, even digesting opinions of 2000 words or more without even a complaining gurgle from its huge stomach. The standard of the food it rewarded people for bringing became much higher and so it gave the name "crown" to this reward.

Some of the early opinion providers suddenly found that they were wearing crowns for having, in those early days, provided food which was more suited to the baby than this huge creature. The people coming later to feed the creature didn't realise why the early feeders were wearing crowns for providing what they thought was plain fare and so they despised them. The creature however knew who had fed it when baby food was all it had needed, and remembered and was still grateful. Those early providers were not allowed to remove their crowns, and they remained as a marker of a different time and place.




Having told the tale of the early crown, I feel like I should leave the original opinion more or less intact. Look on it as a monument to the dooyoo that was.

Avon Tea-Tree Shower Gel.

This stuff is wonderful - get it!

Like a lot of great discoveries, I think I probably stumbled across this one by accident, but now it's something I wouldn't be without.....

Avon make some good shower gels in all kinds of scents and ranges, but this has to be the best of the bunch and for what it does, is as good as, if not better than any you'll find in the more expensive ranges.

I particularly find it useful after shaving as it helps prevent that awful itchy rash and spots which often come with regrowth. Use it after shaving and for a few days after that, and you'll find that its' antiseptic effects are fantastic.

Tea Tree oil is known for its' antiseptic, heal
ing effects. You can strengthen the effect by also using Avon's Tea-Tree blemish stick on any spots which still threaten to erupt!

The smell is OK,but nothing special, antiseptic/fresh rather than luxurious, but it is a very effective and useful product, and although I *do* have the pretty, nice smelling gels as well, this one is the one I can't live without!
