Pimples and hair products

[countthestars]

I started using Organix brand Moroccan Oil conditioner and my hair has never looked better. However, my skin on the back of my neck and upper back (right where my hair falls!) is now covered in blemishes and pimples. I've started using a towel to keep my hair off my back while it's still wet but it doesn't seem to be helping.

I think I may just stop using the conditioner :-( but wanted to see if anyone had other suggestions first. I currently just use regular Dove body wash - should I try the Neutrogena Grapefruit scrub? Or something else?

Do you wash your hair and rinse before or after watching your body? Try to wash body last if you don't already.

I've been told to use antibacterial soaps for body to combat acne. I've also found that Neurogena's 0.5% sacyclic acid body acne spray post-shower helps clear up anything I have.

Is your shampoo sulfate free?

I agree with hz. Wash and condition your hair then wash your back. I like Neutrogena Body Clear Scrub. I use it with a loofah or a back brush.

Thanks for all the thoughts/suggestions. My shampoo isn't sulfate free but maybe I'll make the switch. I don't think that's the issue though because my shampoo hasn't changed - just conditioner!

I had a similar problem last summer. I started putting my hair in a loose bun w/ a clip in the shower after the last rinse...then I wash my back w/ scrubby stuff. all clear!
