Using Tea Tree for Oily/Acne Prone Skin

When I think of skincare, I think of ways to take care of my skin properly in order to keep it youthful in appearance, even as I age. Check out the possible reasons you’re breaking out. Everyone has different skin needs based on their skin types. For me I’ve suffered from oily/acne-prone skin my entire life; with it getting worse as I aged (who said acne was a teen problem). For those of you who may suffer from dry/sensitive skin take a look at my post specific to that skin type. I have had my own personal stories and troubles with skincare. For instance, I have tried so many different kinds that I get frustrated about it. I’m sick of brands claiming they will solve my problems and then after continued use still no change.

Using tea tree for oily/acne-prone skin has been amazing for me. I use multiple products from different lines within Farmasi but the series I use the most would be the tea tree line.

Dr. C. Tuna Tea Tree Series

4 steps to help your oily/acne-prone skin.

Cleanse – gently cleans the skin and helps remove the build-up of excess oil, when used regularly. The soft formula prevents drying of the skin. Follow with Dr. C. Tuna Tea Tree Tonic.

Toner – purifies, leaves skin feeling clean, refreshed, and visibly clearer without overdrying. Use after cleansing gel to remove any residual traces of make-up and impurities, which can clog the pores.

Moisturize - balances the sebum of the skin, giving it a matte appearance. Gently massage into the skin, on the face and neck area, twice daily after cleansing and toning.

Mask – deeply cleanses and refreshes the skin. The Clay helps clear impurities while absorbing excess sebum. Apply a thin layer of the Dr. C. Tuna Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask on the face. Leave on until it is completely dry. Then rinse off with warm water. Avoid applying to the eye area and lips.

Clean your Makeup Brushes

Using tea tree for oily/acne-prone skin isn’t all this powerhouse ingredient can do. The tea tree bar soap is an amazing way to clean your makeup brushes. For instance, brushes should be cleaned weekly with a deep clean monthly. If not cleaned properly it can result in bacteria growth if not cleaned often and properly.
