ACNE RESULTS

My name is Kathleen Game. I have had acne since I was 14. I am now 56. I have found that not using hair conditioner clears my acne. I also have to use an organic shampoo (www.greenpeople.co.uk) (Organic Base Neutral No Scent shampoo) because ordinary shampoos have detergent in them and make my skin itch. It is expensive at £8.80 including postage but is worth it and lasts for ages. Use a large comb so you can get the tangles out. I also do not use fabric conditioner or any sort of creams. These cause or make my acne worse. If you have a dishwasher, don't use the conditioner. Rinse your plates and utensils and pans because the detergent would otherwise get into your system and perhaps make your skin itch. It is best that you don't have detergent in your system anyway. I have not experienced any static in my hair yet so that could be down to the shampoo. If your skin is still itchy, you could try having a shower instead of a bath. You can get bath shower attachments and sit in the bath and then stand. Or just go back to using hair conditioner for a short while. Before I stopped using hair conditioner I had three small spots on my chin, but they have gone now. Also don't use soap, just use water to wash if you can. Also just use water to shave. If you do use soap (use an unperfumed or organic one) make sure you empty the used water and fill the sink with fresh water to rinse or in a shower rinse well. You will need to wash your hands with soap (with cold water) for soIid toilet waste and if water does not clean your hands well enough, and rinse well. To wash my clothes I am using Surcare washing powder which is unperfumed and suitable for sensitive skins. I am using Sure Cotton Fresh deodorant.

If you ever think it's your fault you have acne, it's not. You have thin skin, that is why you get acne. So it's probably not a good idea to exfoliate. I had a peel 30 years ago, probably did not help my acne.
