My barber swears by the above for curing skin impurities. He says just drop 4/5 drops of the oil into the lather.
Anyone tried this?

I use it to wash my face and it works quite well. Rinses clean and foams nicely. I don't see why it wouldn't work. The product I've used (Dr. Woods) says you can use it for a lather, but that has other things such as olive oil to clean and moisturize.

you know that tea tree oil has been shown to cause gynocomastia in adolescent males don't you?
I would stay away from it, I don't want any increased probability of man-boobs...then again, I could really have some fun with that!:cen
Tea Tree is a interesting EO. It can be great for your skin or ruin you skin. Just be careful. Add a drop or two use it see how your reacts after a week. Work up from their a drop or tw a week the second your skin starts to show any dryness back it off. Like I said this stuff if used right can be great, over use it you will be sorry.
I sometimes put witchhazel in when lathering creame. Makes a nice thick lather. Don't use creames much though.

I reckon a few drops to start off with and up it accordingly. Hopefully, it can help with ingrowns getting infected.
IF it does cause some boob growth, I'm going to start rubbing some on my wife's back while she's sleeping. That way she'll have one I can feel when we're dancing. :nj
The study (with lavender and tea tree) MAY cause, not has been shown to cause.Quote:
