Any sartorial male worth his salt will testify to that insanely unfortunate pre-date night predicament: there – in the centre of your rather handsome face – lies a blemish bad enough to put your opposite-half off her dinner.

And then hindsight reminds you that your behind will be staying only on the home sofa ce soir…

You should have prepared!

You should have kept clean!

Metique have thankfully gone and ensured that the little voice is banished forever – along with the blemishes. You see, Metique’s 100 % Tea Tree Oil and Hygienic Skin Wash are the perfect preparation you need for that week leading up to the weekend.

Tea Tree Oil is chemically known as Malalueca alternifolia and is known to treat troublesome skin and soothe tired feet. Metique prides itself on the fact that their Tea Tree Oil is sourced straight from farms that are organic and meet legal pharmaceutical standards.

So I’ve got a blemish and I’ve whipped-out the 100 % Tea Tree Oil.

The first thing I notice – and you surely will as well – is the smell: Tea Tree Oil smells delightful! And not in a perfume-y sense but in one of those smells-medical-but-I-love-it incenses.

Simply dab a small amount onto the problem skin and wait for the magic to work. Over time you’re problems – no matter how facially-obvious – should be subject to the magic of Malalueca alternifolia.

I had a small cut that I suffered at the wrath of the sink and it was clean and clear within a week. I never felt like the wound was dirty or oily either; TT Oil dries extremely quickly.

And for the rest of your body? Try some of Metique’s Hygienic Skin Wash with some added Vitamin E. Simply lather over the body and – if it gets that far – your body will be blemish-free… all over!

If you’re thinking about trying something else then you shouldn’t because Tea Tree Oil is the only known antiseptic that is safe for use daily, which of course means that in those days leading up to the date – use away!

But not your date; that’s just rude.

Overall: 9/10 –

Excellent products at an excellent rate – Metique have got date night right!
