Body Shop's Tea Tree Line

I bitch and moan about my skin constantly and today is no different. The new lotion is keeping my face the same texture, meaning no dry patches but it still hasn't done much for the acne problem nor do I expect it to. It never billed itself as one so I won't dislike it because of that. So, I use other products to help with the acne. I posted a review a while back on the Body Shop's Tea Tree toner, and like a dog with its tail between its legs, I am back. Along with it is the Tea Tree Gel and the Face mask. I wanted to get everything since it was a but 2 get 1 free sale but I don't need an another lotion or face wash. I have about 4 face washes that I rotate on. 

 The toner is a bit different with some thing setting on the bottom but still seems to work the same. So unless there is a big change, no need for a review.

The gel stick is something new and just in time to greet it was a massive, red and tender to the touch zit in between my eyebrows.Yeah, I get zits in the weirdest places along with the typical places. Lucky me. I've used this three times, and with each swipe after my nightly skincare routine,  my zit seems to have gone down. Not saying that it's a miracle cure to have instantaneous results, but it does seem to work and decreased the size of my pimple.

 But the problem is the applicator; while I make sure to apply on a clean face, I worry that I'm contaminating the bottle because of the applicator. I don't know why, but the some of the zit-be-goners are some of the horribly packaged products I own. Look at the elf's zit stick and tell me that the roller ball is sanitary.

Last product in the bunch was the face mask. I used it just once so no full review yet. But for that one time, my face tingled like crazy. I liked it.

I've also applied lemon juice to my acne scars because I heard that the juice would lighten it, so I'm testing that out. All of this cost about $30, so it better make my skin acne free. LOL, such unrealistic dreams.

As many of you know Thanksgiving is coming up and like the previous years, I was going to chronicle my culinary disasters, but the family has been making a big push for a store bought meal. What is the world coming to when they reject free homemade food and labor, especially on thanksgiving? So this year I may not be able to post the food. I'll try to blackmail and weasel out a yes but it's going to require a lot of begging, tears and a hefty swallowing of bitter pride.
