I am a grown-ass woman. And maybe I’m not supposed to still get blemishes or pimples at my age, but sometimes I do. Now if you’ve already stopped wanting to read this post ‘cause you’re a man and/or you never get pimples - get over yourself. Every idiot gets them at some point, you are no better. This tea tree oil from The Body Shop (it’s $9) is the only thing I use when it’s that before-a-zit stage that happens when you can feel a pimple’s presence but it hasn’t arrived yet. You just put some of this on wherever you feel it coming on (like once in the morning and once at night, for example) and I swear to you - it’ll completely disappear. I’ve been using this stuff for about two years and if you’ve seen me within that time - I’ve got a pretty all right face. Zit-wise, anyway.

Forewarning: I will be recommending more tea tree related products in future posts because, quite honestly, that junk is magic.
