Have back acne? Check your shampoo
Written on Sunday, 17 of January, 2010 at 3:32 am
I have been wondering why, at my mid-20s, I’m still having recurring back acne every now and then. I’ve often pinpointed stress as the main culprit to it, but then, lately, even though I’ve been getting enough rest, my back acne just keep getting worse.
Normally, this doesn’t bother me. However, my sister’s wedding is just a month away, and I need to find a way to have my usual flawless back in time for the wedding. I’m wearing a haltered dress after all. So I finally decided to consult my dermatologist to get the best acne treatment. Her first question after I recounted my problem was, “What shampoo and conditioner are you using right now?” I was stunned, “Huh?!” She laughed and said that more often than not, shampoos and conditioners are the main cause of back acne. This is because shampoo and conditioner is something most of us use on a daily basis and does not only come into contact with our hair, but also our skin.
Having considered that, I did notice that I do get back acne whenever I switch to a certain brand of shampoo and conditioner! *Whew!* So that’s it! I just need to be more careful in selecting my shampoo.
