ALL THAT MATTE(RS)

You walk out every morning feeling fab. But at the end of the day, your skin’s all drab. And if you’ve been parading around like a shining example all day long, (very literally, especially with an overdose of oil on your skin), it’s time to stop getting horrified and start getting mattified. Bring those out-of-control pores to behave with this genius of a product.

WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?

The Body Shop Tea Tree Mattifying Lotion.

TELL ME MORE

The Tea Tree range from The Body Shop promises the most wonderful things, right from giving you clearer skin to reducing imperfections. I had every reason to believe them because their products have never disappointed me. So, when I chanced upon Tea Tree Mattifying Lotion, I didn’t think twice before trying it. It vowed to keep the oil on my skin at bay, and it did just that. It promised. It delivered. It worked like a charm. Infused with organic pure Tea Tree oil, its texture is light and airy and melts into your skin effortlessly. So much so that you won’t even feel it on your skin. And the best part, there’s not a trace of stickiness. My skin was instantly mattified and shine-free for a good part of the day. All in all, a fabulous find. It’ll definitely save you those ridiculously frequent ‘I-need-to-powder-my-nose’ breaks.

DOES IT SMELL GOOD?

Now that’s the thing. I’m not too crazy about the way it smells. And I for one, am a complete sucker for fragrance. The Tea Tree Mattifying Lotion has a mildly clinical fragrance. So mild that it disappears within seconds. After that, it’s just neutral. Nothing to rave about here.

SHOULD I BUY IT?

Don’t think twice and buy it already. Slather it on without guilt and your skin will thank you.

GIRLY TIP

This doesn’t have SPF. So if you plan to wear it during the day, make sure you pat on some sunscreen too.
