Your hair products can cause acne

October 20th, 2007 at 09:47am Under Hair Care+ Hair Facts

Many acne sufferers meticulously care for their skin with a variety of products to keep their complexion as clear as possible. But did you know washing and styling your hair each day can trigger acne? I certain didn’t. As a teenager, I slathered acne medicine on my breakouts, never thinking chemicals in hair products could be part of the problem.

According to that skin expert, the most common acne-causing, pore-clogging ingredients in hair products are isopropyl myristate, coconut oil/other natural oils, silicone derivatives and petrolatum. Acne-prone individuals should steer clear of those ingredients and reach for oil-free or noncomedogenic choices.

Don’t forget to wash your face after rinsing conditioner out of your hair, and try washing styling gunk out of your gorgeous locks before bed. At a minimum, pull your hair back before hitting the pillow to keep the hair products absent from your face. Change your pillowcase often, and avoid applying hair products before exercise. Dripping sweat will deliver those chemicals right to your face!
