Advantages: soft skin, cleanser, no spots!

Disadvantages: can dry skin out

I am 17 and am actually very lucky in that unlike my older brother james, i dont have spots and i never have got many. I owe this fact to my religious use of the Body Shop's excellent tea tree oil facial wash!

I used to sit in the bathroom and watch my brother (now nearly 19) apply spot cleanser after spot cleanser on to his skin in the hope that one of them might do what they're supposed to. He would spend over £25 on designer products as well as trying other products that claim to get rid of spots. None of them worked until he tried using the Body Shop's tea tree oil. Seeing the effect it had on his skin made me start using it even before i had spots to ensure that i never did!

My theory has worked too! i was every morning with the facial wash and it does work. Very occasionally do i get the odd spot but after washing with tea tree oil you can see that it has already started to fade and become smaller. By the next day it has usually completely disappeared!!

For little over £4 i can highly recommend this product to people for use whether they have any spots or not because even if you dont have any, the oil keeps it that way!

The oil has a soothing effect on your skin and is very gentle. It exfoliates and deep cleanses your skin leaving it soft and feeling very clean. It gives you that extra bit of confidence in yourself to be able to actually feel that your skin is clean without having to look in the mirror. The oil doesnt sting at all like some rival cleansing brands do, it smoothens and cleanses. The body shop also do a tea tree oil refreshing spray that you spray onto your face but i dont tend to use this as the first time i did it irritated my skin.

Tea tree oil has quite a strong smell, it is fragrant and also smells a teeny bit antibacterial but overall i generally like the smell. It also adds moisture to your skin making it feel soft and strokable!

My skin has stayed clean and clear of spots
ever since i first started using the product and even when a spot does occasionally appear, it goes within a day!!

I highly recommend EVERYONE with or without skin/spot problems to use it because not only is it a great cleanser, it makes the you as a person feel great too!!!
