Struggling with Breakouts? Have you thought about this..

Are your breakouts the bain of your existence? What have you tried before? Here is something you might not have considered..

Your hair products 🤷🏽‍♀️

Some hair products may be formulated with ingredients that can clog the pores, causing or exacerbating breakouts particularly around the hairline, back of the neck, forehead and back. This can be useful to consider if you are treating your acne and it’s not getting better. 

So now what..?

🔹 consider stopping the hair product and see if that makes it better

🔹 wash your hair regularly to prevent product buildup 

🔹 try water based products 

🔹 look for non-comedogenic products 

🔹 clean you bedding, caps, hats headbands etc. regularly 

🔹 wear a headband/clips especially while exercising to keep the hair away from your skin

🔹 try using hair care products that are formulated with skincare ingredients 

🔹 use a clarifying shampoo every so often to get rid of any buildup

Give your skin about 6 weeks to clear, if nothing then you may want to see a dermatologist/aesthetician for help.
