Does Tea Tree Oil Remove Blackheads?

Blackheads. We almost never know what to do with them. Some sources say squeeze or scrub them, while others don’t. In all actuality, getting rid of blackheads is very simple as long as you know what to do and what to use. The magical fix to blackheads requires one product only, tea tree oil.

Why Does Tea Tree Oil Help Remove Blackheads?

Tea tree oil is great for treating other forms of acne because it contains antibacterial properties, is an excellent disinfectant and is soothing. But what makes tea tree oil so special is its ability to deeply penetrate the skin and get under the clogging in our pores. That being said, it disinfects, dries out the blackhead and unclogs the pores.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp fine sugar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1-2 drops tea tree oil
• A steamer

Treatment Time: 15 minutes.

Method:

1. Steam your face for about 5-10 minutes.
2. Combine and mix all the ingredients until coarse.
3. Apply mixture to your face and massage gently in circular motions.
4. Massage for a couple of minutes and then rinse your face with cool water.

Frequency: 2-3 times a week.

Why This Works

This tea tree scrub is a wonderful exfoliate which helps unclog pores and dry out pesky blackheads. Be sure you are using pure tea tree oil only. Any other variants may end up worsening the conditions of your blackheads.

Prepare Your Skin for the Cold

Just because the cold weather comes around does not mean that you have to suffer with dry and uncomfortable skin. As the weather gets chilly, and the Colorado dry air sets in, it is important to take extra good care of your skin to ensure your skin doesn’t dry out and start to flake. Here are some tips to get you started in the right direction.

Use minimal cleansers. Winter temperatures are a culprit for parched, irritated skin, brittle hair and a dry scalp. To combat these woes, opt for natural soaps, body washes, and shampoos that are free of synthetic surfactants.

Moisturize right before bed. Up the ante on your nighttime rituals and include hydrating serums and nourishing moisturizers as a nightly practice.

Try and avoid heat on your face, especially in the shower. By subjecting your body to hot showers often you are in turn stripping your skin’s natural and protective oils.

At all costs avoid stripping your skin of its natural oils, this will just make it dry out faster. The key is to be gentle with your skin. Here at FYBC, we offer fantastic facials. Book your next facial and reap all the benefits of smooth healthy skin now!

Prepare Your Skin For Halloween Make Up

Halloween party after Halloween party, applying loads of make up to complete the perfect costume can take a toll on your skin. However, there is a way to make sure you can have your seasonal fun without breaking out and irritating your skin. Here are some great tips that can keep your skin healthy and looking fresh after the party ends.

Hydration Matters

Not only will hydrated skin allow for easier make up application but it will also help with any dry skin you may be experiencing this fall. The week leading up your Halloween event, your water bottle should be with you at all times. If you are sipping on water throughout the day, your skin will surely receive the benefits! With the help of a little H2O your skin will be hydrated and ready to handle whatever make up look you choose! 

Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate!

Another element crucial to the Halloween preparation process is exfoliating your skin. Before applying thick makeup to your skin, you want to get rid of any dead skin or debris on the surface of your face. If you have an exfoliant that works for you, great! If not, you can make a great exfoliant with sugar and lemon. Mix a tablespoon of sugar and an entire lemon (juice) and apply it to your face for 5 minutes. Scrub the mix off with warm water!

Skin care tips you may have missed!

Taking an active role in caring for your skin is essential when the summer months roll around. Here in Colorado our climate is relatively harsh and the sun is strong, make sure you are taking proper skin care measures to ensure the vitality and health of your skin. If you are someone who generally does a good job with skin care, make sure you aren’t making minor mistakes that could cost you later down the line. Don’t over look the small things. Here are three common mistakes to be weary of:

1. Cleaning your face too much. Yes, this is a thing! Your skin produces essential oils that are crucial for overall nourishment. If you are over cleansing then you are stripping away those oils, in turn depleting your skin, and increasing your risk for breakouts. A good rule of thumb is one deep cleanse before bed!

2. Your foundation isn’t sunblock! Although most foundations have a certain level of SPF, you should not rely on it as protection from the sun. Your foundation most likely has SPF 10 or 15 meaning that is not enough to protect your skin from sun damage. Dermatologists recommend SPF 30 or greater on your face on days you are actively in the sun. Remember to use sunscreen, not just your foundation.

3. Don’t apply face oil first. Remember that face oils do not allow anything else to permeate the skin once applied. If oil is applied first, any other product that follows will be blocked from settling into your skin. Oils are great and should be apart of your daily routine, just remember to not apply the oil first!

Embrace your natural beauty.

The summer season is perfect for embracing your natural beauty. Going days on end without makeup and letting your wavy locks go wild is freeing! We can help you get your skin ready with a refreshing facial. We offer some seriously amazing facials that are designed to give your skin a fresh and youthful look. Summer can be a great time to allow your skin to heal and rejuvenate. Whether you are looking to have a chemical peel done or microdermabrasion we can make sure you leave our day spa feeling refreshed! Now is a great time to book your facials for the summer in advance. We look forward to helping your skin recuperate and recover from the winter damage.
