• The Body Shop Skincare Haul | September 2018

    Hi Everyone!

    As you may have already gathered, I really like The Body Shop skincare products. The tea tree oil line has been great for controlling and preventing acne.

    Check out my reviews:
    Tea Tree Oil Anti-Imperfection Daily Solution (I don’t think they sell this anymore)
    Tea Tree Oil Targeted Gel Blemish Stick
    Colour Adapting BB Cream

    The Body Shop was having a Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale, so I decided to pick up products that I haven’t tried yet. I chose three of the tea tree oil products, an aloe cleanser and the pink grapefruit exfoliating gel scrub.

    Tea Tree Oil

    I tried this out already and it’s not oily like the Tarte Maracuja Oil (which I was expecting), it was similar to the Anti-Imperfection Daily Solution. It smells very strong (more than the solution).

    • Targeted care for blemished skin
    • Can be used direct on skin or for facial steaming
    • Soothing
    • Does not dry out skin

    Tea Tree Oil Anti-Imperfection Night Mask

    I have not tried this yet, but I’m excited to see how well it works.

    • Skin instantly looks and feels refreshed, purified, and soothed.
    • In the morning, imperfections* appear reduced.
    • Skin looks healthier, smoother, and mattified.
    • Improves appearance of pores.
    • Helps maintain clearer-looking skin.
    • Tone, texture, and oiliness
    • Features a refreshing memory-gel texture and is infused with tea tree oil grown in the foothills of Mount Kenya.
    • Alcohol-free, no pillow-staining formula.
    • TOP TIP: Pop the Night Mask in the fridge for an ultra-refreshing feeling.

    Tea Tree Oil Skin Clearing Mattifying Toner

    I haven’t tried this yet because I recently picked up the Thayers Witch Hazel toner and just started using it. I didn’t want to try too many new products all at once.

    • Refreshing, purifying toner
    • Made with purifying tea tree oil from the foothills of Mount Kenya
    • Removes residual make-up and impurities
    • Shake-to-activate mattifying powders reduce shine
    • Skin appears visibly clearer
    • Pores appear tighter

    Pink Grapefruit Exfoliating Body Scrub

    I’ve used their body scrub before, but they’ve reformulated it since then. I’ve tried the one that’s more like a sugar scrub. This one is interesting because it’s a gel texuture, but then when you rub it in, you can feel the grittiness of it. It smells refreshing and it works well. Is it worth $22 though? I’m not sure.

    • Body exfoliator
    • Smoothes and refines skin
    • Buffs away dead skin cells
    • Leaves skin beautifully softer and refined
    • Fresh, energizing gel texture
    • Energizing scent

    Aloe Vera Gentle Foaming Wash

    This is very light and I like that it’s foamy. My sensitive skin hasn’t reacted to it, but it is a bit pricey when it’s regular price.

    • Formulated for sensitive skin
    • Pure Community Trade aloe from Campeche, Mexico
    • No added fragrance, color or alcohol
    • Formulated without preservatives

    I will post reviews of the Tea Tree Oil products once I’ve tested them out properly.

    What are your fave Body Shop products?

    Love,
