A concealer with tea tree oil and other ingredients to help cover and fight blemishes.
I’ve already mentioned this but let me say it again, I’ve been using The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Oil Cover Stick for over seven years now. I first discovered it mid 2000 when I was searching for a concealer to replace the old brand I was using. I was never the experimenting type but the promise of natural ingredients — note, Tea Tree Oil and organic beeswax — I braved the purchase and use of this particular beauty product. I was hooked ever since. I even lured a few of my friends to the dark side.
About the two key ingredients:
Tea tree oil
Has natural purifying antibacterial properties and is known to help soothe blemished skin. Helps the Aboriginal co-operative to provide training for farmers and to develop pride in their tea tree heritage.Organic beeswax
Moisturizes and helps to condition the hands and dry skin around the nail beds. Acts as a barrier that helps to seal in moisture. Helps to keep product texture consistent, when used over time. Helps protect and preserve the forest as well as providing necessary income for the beekeepers, an increasing number of which are now women.
I actually used this cover stick on some of my gigs as a makeup artist. Imagine my surprise when one of my customers came looking to contact me just so she can find out what I used to put on her pimples that night cuz they dried up like they never did before. Of course, she had to know what brand it is and where I bought it, the information I graciously supplied.
It’s like hitting two birds with one stone when I use this concealer, you see. It evens out my skin and takes care of my blemishes, i.e. a growing zit. I often apply it just to get rid of zits actually. This concealer helps in achieving a very natural makeup since I don’t really use foundation or loose powder. And the shade is perfect for my skin tone.
Available online at The Body Shop or you can find the nearest store in your vicinity.
This product works great!
i bought this product recently and am wondering what is the best way to apply it
This was my absolute favourite concealer, and have never found one better. Why on earth did Bodyshop have to change the colour??!!
It used to be perfect for covering any blemishes because of how pale it was, now it’s ORANGE! I’m so disappointed. Has anyone else had this problem? Hopefully I’ll be able to find the discontinued version online or something…
