YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Beauty One of these £8 50 Body Shop spot treatments sells every 17 seconds By You Magazine - August 16, 2019 Spot treatments range in price dramatically, but according to customers across the country, they don’t come much better than The Body Shop’s £8.50 tea tree oil. Each 20ml bottle of the potent product contains the oil of an astounding 5,000 tea tree leaves, which works to purify skin, calm blemishes and rebalance the complexion. Whether you dab it directly on a breakout or use it as a preventative measure to keep spots at bay, it’s an effective, affordable powerhouse that sells every 17 seconds. Yes, you did read that correctly. Getty Images Well, part of the popularity could be down to the fact that spots aren’t the only battle that the contents of these little bottles can fight. Tea tree oil is a real multitasker, and can be used for anything from reinvigorating your senses and combating fatigue to soothing a sore, itchy scalp. Even Meghan Markle has professed her love for tea tree oil in the past. Although she didn’t declare her allegiance to a brand, in a previous interview with Allure magazine the Duchess of Sussex revealed that she never travels without it: ‘The one thing that I cannot live without when I’m traveling is a small container of tea tree oil. It’s not the most glamorous thing, but if you get a cut, a mosquito bite, a small breakout, no matter what it is, it’s my little cure-all,’ she said. ‘It’s inexpensive, it’s small enough to carry on, and I bring it with me all the time.’ Reviewers on The Body Shop’s website certainly agree with her recommendation, with almost 400 five-star reviews praising the powers of tea tree, dubbing it ‘a miracle in a bottle’ and ‘a holy grail’.
