I
have noticed that certain hair products seem to irritate my skin. Do
you recommend a certain type of conditioner? I have really long hair so I
have to use lots of product in it every day. I try to keep it off my
face, but I noticed recently that a new conditioner I was trying has
aggravated my face. Any recommendations?
One
recommendation is to really rinse the conditioner out of your hair
before you leave the shower. I realize you are using it to soften and
probably detangle your hair, but just the excess product left on your
hair might be a big contributor to your problems.
If
you are using something that you know is aggravating your skin, of
course stop using it. If you can, go back to products that didn’t bother
your skin, even though they might not be as effective for your hair. It
may be a trade-off; you’ll have to decide which you’d rather have,
clear skin or more manageable hair.
