Tea Tree Oil is extracted by Steam distillation of the leaf of a tree called Melaleuca alternifolia which is found in Australia. Tree Tea oil is an all Natural product and is used in the manufacture of many healthcare products including Shampoos, mouthwash, Face wash, Creams and Toothpaste. The safety of Tea Tree oil in these products is well documented.

The oil itself has been used in the past to treat Acne, Athelete`s foot and as a Deodorant. The absence of side effects when compared to a lot of Chemical based antiseptics has made Tea Tree oil very popular in recent times.

The Anaerobic Bacterium Propionibacterium acnes is linked to the cause of Acne. This Bacterium can populate the pore of your skin and grow there. The Bacterium secretes enzymes that can break down dead Skin and other proteins and produce chemicals such as Fatty acids that can be Immunogenic (they can produce a local allergic reaction). This can lead to over growth of other Bacteria such as Sthaphylococcus aureus that is normally resident in and on the skin. This process leads to a blocked,inflammed  pore that is called a MICROCOMEDONE and can lead to an Acne lesion.
This is where Tea Tree oil comes in. The oil has a strong antiseptic action on the Bacterium Propionibacterium acnes and can destroy the Bacterial population on the skin and within pores. This natural Antimicrobial action of Tea Tree oil is very strong at around 2% strength (as in the mask) and there is no Bacterial resistance against it as is found to be the case with a lot of Antibiotics used to treat Acne. A concentration of 2% when used in an occlusive mask (as in Devina`s Choice) is safe and effective. Any stronger useage can lead to irritation, redness and dryness of the skin.

Add Devina`s choice to your skin care regime

Acne is best treated and prevented by addressing ALL the factors that lead to the formation of lesions. Therefore it is logical to combine treatment with products that address different causative factors(sebum, bacteria, dead skin). The action of each preparation will be ADDITIVE and lead to a more effective and faster result than can be achieved by a single product alone. It is usual to apply one product in the morning and a different one in the evening. However there are also products available that contain TWO of the active agents in the one application. All sufferers want instant results. You can help yourself by using this technique.

Complement, augment and enhance your existing acne treatment by taking advantage of the fact that by adding a product that addresses a different causative factor to your regime will enhance the existing treatment synergistically (An additive action) by producing FASTER and more EFFECTIVE results. Add DEVINA`S CHOICE peel-off face and body mask to your existing medical treatment for acne to enhance its effects.
