I have been usin both of them serperatley on my face for a while but when i put a cotton ball soaked in apcv and a drop or 2 or tea tree on my pimple then put a bandaid over it my skin kinda started pulsing and when i took it off my pimple and the area around it was red ( which it wasnt before) even though the pimple diminshed in size the redness hazent gone away wat cani do to get rid of it and why did that happen?
Tea tree and apple cider vineger?
You put vinegar on it, then put on band-aid on it. You didnt let the area breath, you trapped all the bacteria under a band-aid and it probably irritated the area, especially since you had to peel the band-aid off, it probably really irritated you%26#039;re skin even more. Just wash you%26#039;re face and try to find some stuff to use on sensitive skin.

Is there a better way I should be applying tea tree oil?
I apply tea tree oil to my face and body with a cotton pad every night before I put on moisturizer. For the body I use one pad with three drops, and for my face I use a pad with one drop. I do not dillute the oil with water at all. Is there a better way to apply the oil? Should I add it to my cleanser instead? I haven%26#039;t had any adverse reactions and I%26#039;ve been using it for a few weeks, should I just continue how I am?
Is there a better way I should be applying tea tree oil?
You do not need to apply the oil every night. Wash, dry and moisturize your face then take a Q tip or cotton pad and apply 1-2 drops to any problem ares on your face (acne etc). Don%26#039;t add it to your cleanser because remember; its oil so it%26#039;ll make your face texture all messed up.

Can tea tree oil cause scarring if used plain on your face?
I bought some tea tree oil, and applied it to my face with a cotton ball, and it burns a lil, but then again i have a high tolerance for pain so it doesnt bother me. So my question is, can using it plain cause scarring and is it bad to use plain?
Can tea tree oil cause scarring if used plain on your face?
What are you trying to acheive?
Reply:not at all darling. tea tree oil is a very strong oil, esp the undiluted stuff. it treats many things even jock itch and foot fungus. oh, and did i mention if you apply it to your scalp in the shower and leave it in for about a minute it even cures dandruff??
tough stuff that tea tree oil
Reply:No it won%26#039;t cause scaring but you should not apply it straight to the face. Dilute it as your face is pretty sensitive. It also should not sting your face when you apply it. Wouldn%26#039;t it have been easier to just buy a facial product that contains tea tree oil instead of trying to dilute it yourself?
Reply:You shouldn%26#039;t use 100% tea tree oil all over your face. You could burn the skin. Were you trying to use it as an astringent?? Tree tree oil should be used as a spot treatment on acne or on scrapes, cuts, cold sores etc.
There are tree tree oil products on the market safe for you face. The Body Shop carries a great line.
Reply:no it is just strong, it%26#039;s healing and cleaning so it%26#039;s gotta sting a little. If you are concerned you may be allergic, go to your doctor.
Reply:Tea tree oil shouldn%26#039;t be used on open cuts or sores. It will sting a lot. But it won%26#039;t cause scaring. Also keep it away from your eyes. Again it will sting a lot. For open cuts use a triple antibiotic cream with tea tree oil in it. Melaluca has many products with tea tree oil in them.
Reply:No it won%26#039;t scar - it is a good bacteria cleaner. If your skin is sensitive do not use it daily - or if you do use it daily use it only on blemishes.
Reply:It will not cause scarring, but Tea Tree Oil is VERY STRONG, therefore you would want to delute it in a 2:1 ratio with water.
Reply:no scarring, tea tree oil simply works as natural antiseptic. i%26#039;ve tried it on acne a couple of times since i used to be covered by pimples all over my face when i was a teenager. Didn%26#039;t really work out for me, but still it didn%26#039;t really leave any scars. Besides, many cosmetic products such as acne treaments, astringents are alot more abrasive compared to it.

Best shade tree for texan's back yard?
Hi, I%26#039;m trying to get some idea of a good, moderately fast growing tree to plant in my back yard. I have very clay sticky soil with nice plush grass on top. My back yard slightly slopes down to the east and is moderatly large size yard. I would like a tree that gives shade, will tolerate drought conditions and does not have those pesky flowers that bloom and spred pollin. I%26#039;d like to purchase it kinda small and let it grow over time, I%26#039;m not looking to plant a $500 fully grown oak tree.
I%26#039;d just like to hear any suggestions on trees I can research for my area. I was concidering a cotton wood, but my neighbor is allergic and I%26#039;d hate for my pretty tree to cause her any discomfort. No, I don%26#039;t like pine trees, or scrub brush. I don%26#039;t mind raking leaves. I am interested in the (hope this is right) buford pear tree (not a fruiting tree). I love those trees, but they seem to grow slow. Any advise, tree names or anything helpful is appriciated.
Best shade tree for texan%26#039;s back yard?
It really depends on what part of Texas you live in. The soil and climate conditions vary so much. I would suggest you contact you county agricultural agent for answers. They have that kind of information and it is specific for your area.
Stay away from Chinese tallow trees. They are very invasive and have an extremely short life. They were on our lot in Houston and they very messy.
My personal favorite is the live oak. They grow faster than more folks realize. They are basically pest free and provide shade all year. Other oaks are also very nice.
Buford pears are not really a shade tree but rather an ornamental tree.
Cotton woods are also very messy and their %26quot;cotton%26quot; gets all over everything.
In some parts of Texas you can grow maple trees. We had two in Houston and they did very well. The only draw back is their roots. They tend to grow very close to the surface of the ground.
There is a book called %26quot;Plants of the Metroplex%26quot; that is written specifically for Dallas-Fort Worth. Look for a copy. It is by Garret Howard
Reply:Pecan of course......they are native to here grow fast and will give you lots of nuts.....planted 2 3 foot trees.... 7 years ago and they are over 10 feet tall and about 6 feet wide
Autumn Purple Ash Tree ...beautiful color and tolerates clay soil and is drought resistant once it matures
any Maple tree...drought resistant once it matures
Oak Tree..beautiful colors and tolerates different soils
the best way to know what is good for your specific area is to visit a tree farm
Reply:I take it you%26#039;re not a native. If you were, you%26#039;d know about talla trees. Proper name, Chinese tallow.
http://www.galvbayinvasives.org/Guide/Sp...
They grow like weeds. Most god-awful messy tree, though. Loses limbs like crazy, leaves don%26#039;t decompose, but make a lot a shade. They%26#039;ll grow in concrete, too. Dump some seeds in your yard, and let %26#039;em go.
Reply:hi neighbor, we don%26#039;t have many %26#039;exotic%26#039; trees, just the local stuff but the trees i appreciate are our Live Oaks. They stay pretty all year long and have pretty little acorns. You can buy them at Home Depot (about +12%26#039;) for around $349
Reply:go to southwest nursery on sandylake rd in Dallas and look at Texas ash. or arizona ash.fast growing and needs little care. bought 3 there last year and they have doubled in size.

100% tea tree oil...bad for the face?
Is it bad to apply 100% tea tree oil directly to the face using a cotton ball? If it is, why? If not, would it help?
100% tea tree oil...bad for the face?
Yes it dries out your skin far too much the same if you rubbed metho on your face. It is good for the skin like getting rid of blemishes but you need to water it down, mix it in some water and use as a face wash or into a moisturizer. Full strength tea tree oil will do damage to your skin, and your skin is what keeps bacteria from getting into your body so take care of it. You can buy tea tree oil based products for the skin like facial scrubs buy them instead.
Reply:you%26#039;re not supposed to, it says so right on the bottle.
you didnt tell us what you are using it for, but there%26#039;s other things you could use instead..
Reply:I%26#039;m not sure, but I would think that applying anything that had %26quot;oil%26quot; on the label to your face would be a bad move. It would make ME break out, at least.
Reply:hi :) I dont think it should hurt but you are supposed to water it down a little it is great for the face tho mainly acne i use it all the time i often use facial washes with it in tho there great and there watered down the right ammount you only need 2or 3 drops in about a pint of water goodluck :) x

Xmas display, manikin in bath of cotton wool, wearing pink feather boa, is this play boy Xmas decorations.?
At the local garden centre, on one of the displays where you would normaly have an Xmas tree is a manikin in a bath of cotton wool with a pink feather boa, would this be play boy xmas, or wishful thinking. or have I missed something. what do you think?
Xmas display, manikin in bath of cotton wool, wearing pink feather boa, is this play boy Xmas decorations.?
This display is geared with the male shopper in mind. Are there alot of products sold mainly to males near the display?
Somebody wants to be creative in the Garden Center %26amp; be non-traditional. I would say something to the area manager if it was giving me a fit.
I would explain that although the display %26quot;attracts men to the goods%26quot;, the loss in sales to women, (due to the gender biased subject matter the display portrays), may be %26quot;higher%26quot; than any additional sales to men.
That having a %26quot;traditional%26quot; display caters to all family member%26#039;s that shop %26amp; insure %26quot;happy sales%26quot; to the customers.
Ask why there isn%26#039;t a man in the tub?
