@peppercorn–yes, you’re right, but I wasn’t the one who used it, my husband was. But according to Hatchetwoman, they work great on cold sores, and wouldn’t those be considered a VERY inflamed piece of real estate?

You are correct, ma’am. Tea tree and lavender are two of the few essential oils you can use undiluted, and those two are wonderful for all kinds of bo-boages. I make a facial soap with both essential oils and green clay. Legally, I can’t say it cures zits, but people tell me that it does.

It is best to test the oils first on non-inflamed real estate, though, just in case you have a sensitivity to it.

Right, mlm?

Tea tree oil won’t burn a hole in your skin. I have pretty sensitive skin (not tremendously, but it is a bit sensitive) and I’ve never had a bad reaction to tea tree oil. And yes, it works better than Abreva for cold sores.

I’ve heard that the painful zits are due to stress. The others, if you’re at least in your 30’s, might be due to a high-carb diet.

Tea tree oil will burn a hole in your skin like sulfuric acid! I think I’d rather have a zit…

Got something to suggest for that— tea tree oil (make sure is 100%). Started using it couple months ago for my adult acne/blackheads and it works wonders. Quit using abreva cause this works so much better on my cold sores. Just make sure you put it on w/ a q-tip and not a cotton ball. It does not smell like a pretty flower but hey it works.

You realize what’s happening, don’t you? We’re being punished for our sins at Hacienda. All that grease, sugar, and cheese had to manifest itself somewhere, didn’t it? Damn you, Hacienda. Damn you!!!
