mug 0 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I just thought I'd share this little bit of information. My friend's dermatologist told her that hair conditioner clogs the pores on your back and to make sure you wash your body AFTER washing conditioner out of your hair. I used to have hair to my waist and HAD to condition it. My friend told me what her dermatologist told her, so I tried it. My back cleared up significantly (not completely). Anyway, thought I'd share that, mostly for the girls. I guess it's a bit of common sense, but something I overlooked for a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willow569 7 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Another tip is to avoid using fabric softener on your clothes. It can leave a waxy residue that clogs pores. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mug 0 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 I don't use fabric softener, but that is very good to know! My boyfriend does though, when we get married I'll have to break him of the habit!Thank you for that:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abner463 0 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I just switched conditioners, and started to do my back treatment after finishing my hair and ready to get out of the shower. I was just thinking of dryer softner stuff too. Guess I'm just trying to think of whatever might be irritating my skin. Good luck all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vicereine 0 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I heard of this too, I don't break out too too bad there, mostly sporatic spots but I guess it's worth a shot to wash my back after rinsing the conditioner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aghaigh Dearg 1 Share Posted April 29, 2007 oh this makes so much sense! my back just where my hair hangs is always irritated, not acne strictly but little bumps and irritations! thanks for the tip, never even thought it would be from the conditioner but it has to be its the only place they are!thank you!!
