MUST READ! Baby shampoo and tea tree oil

I read a few people saying they use tea tree face wash for bleth. I went ahead and added 2 drops of tea tree pure oil into my baby shampoo and water mix that I apply twice daily to lashes with a cotton bud..

24 hours later my vision is clearer, I've woke up on the second day with a very small amount of crust on my eyes.. The itching is minimal.. I am on day 3 of using after trying everything and a miserable week of a bad flare up!

I would give it a go ASAP

Baby shampoo

Tea tree oil

Water

(In a travel bottle made for shampoos etc so easy to carry around)

Cotton bud dipped in and wipe around lash line and eye area

I will keep updated but this feels good to have clear eyes 😀

    Thank you for this tip.  I want to try it asap.  Having a very painful flareup today.  Can you share the approximate measurements you use?

    Thank you.

      I use one drop of pure tea trea oil

      One pea sized amount of baby shampoo

      And about 200-250ml water

      I use twice a day morning and night and it seems to have stopped flare ups, even on holiday where I normally suffer a lot AND I had eyelash extensions so it is doing something

      I hope it can help you all too.

      The tea tree is very strong so one drop is really all you need smile

      Yes be careful, but by diluting the tea tree oil with water and baby shampoo it is fine.

      1 drop tea tree oil

      One small pea size baby shampoo

      100ml water+

      It Is so diluted you shouldn't have any problems. But just be careful, and dilute extra if you are worried

    Just an update

    Been a good few weeks of using baby shampoo and tea tree. I've had a few mucus days, but no significant flare ups or crazy itching.. Even been able to wear mascara!

    Still using twice a day, occasionally 3 times I feel I need a freshen up.

    Wondering if it's working for anyone else!?

    Cliredex eyelid wipes contains tea tree oil. My optomotrisr brought it up and said i might want to try it. I believe you can buy it on amozon. Com in the States.

    Emma, it's even easier if you just close your eyes and use your fingers for scrubbing along the rims of your eyelids. of course use the formula you are using now.Dena. ims

    Emma, I just use one drop, and close my eyes, schrub them with my fingers, wash my face gently with it, then rinse under the faucet. Moisturise with a natural lotion, use systàne eye drops or any drops without preservatives.

    Hi Emma, what kind of Blepharitis we’re you experiencing ? I have Blepharitis with crusting and loss of eyelashes, do you know of anyone who has tried this that has eyelash loss? I’m so desperate as have tried everything and yet nothing has worked !
