A few drops of tea tree oil can be added to homemade face masks to kill bacteria and dry out pimples. Make a face mask using natural ingredients.  Mix 3-4 drops of tea tree oil with 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of green clay powder, which can be found at most health food stores. Stir in enough water to turn your clay into a spreadable paste. Apply the mask evenly, leave the mask on for at least 20 minutes, and then rinse off with warm water and pat dry. Blend together 3 drops of tea tree oil, 1 teaspoon of jojoba oil, and half of a very finely chopped tomato. Apply this face mask directly to clean skin and leave on for 10 minutes, before rinsing off with warm water and patting dry. Add 5 drops of tea tree oil to 1/4 cup of plain yogurt (either traditional or Greek style) and apply as a mask. Rinse off with warm water after 15-20 minutes. For an effective, acne-fighting face scrub, try mixing tea tree oil with some other natural ingredients from your kitchen cupboard. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of sesame or olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, and approximately 10 drops of tea tree oil. Gently massage the mixture onto your damp face, using circular motions, for 2-5 minutes. Wash off with warm water and then pat your face dry.  This scrub may be a little rough for people suffering from cystic acne but is perfect for mild to medium breakouts. As both tea tree oil and honey are natural preservatives, you can make this scrub in bulk and store in a jar in your medicine cabinet. A few drops of tea tree oil can be added to your daily moisturizer and cleanser to help combat stubborn pimples. Apply 2 - 6 drops, depending on how strong you want it. Be careful not to get it in your eyes. It could cause stinging or burning if the tea tree oil comes into contact with your eyes. Add a couple of drops of tea tree oil to your bath to help clear acne on your chest, back, and other parts of your body. Additionally, the oil will add a fragrant scent to your bath. Breathing in the tea tree-infused steam can also help to alleviate congestion, so you should also try this when you have a cold or allergies. Many brands have started using tea tree oil in their skin products because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. If you feel that the pure, essential oil is a little too strong for your tastes or you don't have time to make your own tea tree skin products, buying a tea tree based product may be a good option. Tea tree cleansers, moisturizers, and spot gels are particularly popular.

A character profile includes a wide range of details about your character, including how they look, where they are from, what they do for a living, their likes and dislikes, and much more!This profile will be a useful organizing tool to reference throughout your writing process.  At the beginning, it will help you determine which visual aspects of the character are important to share with readers.  If you are an artist, draw a picture of your character.  Provide as much detail as possible. The more details you know, the better you can pick out the unusual ones to share with readers. If you are not an artist, then try using a character illustration generator website or software to help you visualize your character.  Don’t dress them in a generic plain t-shirt without you detailing what makes it different from every other shirt like it.  Does it have any tears or old stains, indicating perhaps this is a favorite shirt?  Maybe a logo or designer brand that shows their personal style or places they frequent. Your goal is to create a visual snapshot of an interesting person your readers want to get to know better.  Do not exhaustively detail every facet of your character’s appearance.  Ask yourself, as an observer, what is the first thing you notice about this person? Do they have scars, tattoos, or unusual physical features (like wide, clear blue eyes) that stand out?  Can you see their facial features or does a hat or pair of oversized sunglasses hide their face? A description that does not encourage readers’ imaginations may be accurate, but will not be interesting. Use metaphors to compare two things that are unrelated, yet share a common feature. Examples of metaphors include “blind as a bat,” “a blanket of snow,” and “a heart of gold.”  Instead of simply stating your character has green eyes, for example, describe the exact shade of green by referencing an object readers will recognize.  Are they pea green, forest green, or the color of Crayola finger paint?  Avoid clichés and aim for original comparisons. Clichés like “she is lovely as a rose” are so common that readers instantly recognize them without having to think about what they mean.  This statement fails to say anything important about the woman since beauty is a subjective judgment.  Be specific and use your imagination.
