Essence have created ''My Skin'', this wonder-gel removes dirt, debris and opens pores to keep your face feeling squeaky clean. It is non-drying and at that same time provides the prefect base for moisturization. It has a wonderful lime and cucumber combination, this not only smell divine but tightens pores and provides the ultimate in refreshment. Essence products are generally affordable and this face wash is no exception. For only R30 your are buying 150ml so its not such a big dent in your pockets:) The gel is easy foaming and there is no after-dryness that can be found in some other washes. It is soap-free and also controls oil production if used in conjunction with the toner (which I will review soon) This wash does help to soothe your face skin and can be used twice daily with warm water. always remember to pat, not rub your face after washing and rubbing can lead to overproduction of sebum and also redness

So here's the thing: Tea Tree Oil is a amazing! Not only can it be used for stings, burns and skin rashes, it provides effective cleansing of your delicate face. The Body Shop which is famous for harnessing the ''proper'' way of manufacturing make-up and beauty products have created a product that is simply so easy to use. Tea-tree stops acne from worsening by purifying your pores from within. Since it effectively removes oil, dirt and dead skin cells from your face, blemishes stop since the face becomes balanced at the same time. You can use this product separately or in conjunction with the toner and concentrated tree-oil (Body Shop sells them as a 3 pack face care set for about R250; I will review these 2 others separately) It also sustains growth and development,as the people from Body Shop ensure that they source their products correctly, so the concept of Beatuy without Crulety is enforced
