| Sometimes
the bumps, pimples and dry patches of skin are reactions to the
soaps and shampoos we use. Try to isolate them, one by one, to determine
which one is irritating your skin. It could be the ingredients,
a reformulation of an old product, or the essence or perfume in
the product (try an unscented version, if available). Shampoos are
often the culprits, as they contain multiple products for everything
from cleaning to conditioning, that can clog follicles as the shampoo
drains off your head to the rest of your body. It could also be
your water. If you suspect a higher than normal level of chlorine
and/or salts in your water, install a filter on your shower head.
If it's not from outside, could it be a change in your diet? Remember
that skin responds to environments both inside and outside our bodies. |
