Hmmmm.... If you're having a reaction on your scalp to shampoo's and conditioners you probaly have an allergy.

I'd cut to the chase and go have an allergy test done so you can find out the particular thing or things causing the reaction.




Whats up guys, nah im not allergic i just want to use some shampoos,conditioners,soaps,lotions that wont clog my pores and lead to pimples.Input is appreciated. ^_^

What does non-comedonic mean? I've seen it but I don't know what the benefits, etc are. Can someone explain??
If you don't want to clog your pores, just do what I do- wash your face last thing before you get out of the shower. That way any conditioner or shampoo that may have run onto your face will be washed off. Same thing for your back if your back breaks out. Just wash your back after you're done conditioning and rinsing your hair.
Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.
Non-comedogenic, I think was the word she was going for. It means "won't clog pores". As for a soap, shampoo, etc. that won't, I honestly don't know--but if you're getting pimples, you may want to be aware of how you're rinsing. Make sure you're not rinsing your hair down your back (lean over and rinse off to the side), make sure your back and face and other problem areas are fully rinsed before exiting shower, etc.
A good non-comedogenic moisturizer that I like to use is emu oil.





^oh I love emu oil! Jojoba oil is great too. Sometimes I'll add a couple of drops of oil to my nighttime moisterizer it feels sooooo good!
Jeremiah, there are TONS of non-comedogenic face products on the market. It's kind of a trial and error thing to see which ones you like best though. Aside from clogged pores or breaking out, what is your skin type? Like, is it sensitive, combo, oily, super duper oily? What sort of products do you use now? Do you like to use exfoliating products or toners too? Currently some of the products I use are Cerave cleanser and lotion. I also use an alcohol free citrus toner by Kiss My Face.
There are lists floating on the web (makeupalley skin care board definately has a few) of ingredients known to clog pores or exacerbate acne. I'll see if I can find a good one for you that way you can look out for certain ingredients to avoid.
As far as shampoo or conditioner go I don't know of any that are advertised as non-comedogenic. Maybe use a salicylic wash on your back after you shampoo?








Thanks LoveSexMoney! yeah my skin type is oily. Right now im using Obagi facial cleanser and a toner. I used to get facials w/extractions to get rid of my pimples but i stopped cause it was getting too expensive.
*heres me skin...not a good pic but heres a pic to give you an idea (im wearing the hat)
P.S. I have more of whiteheads/blackheads type of acne...not really "pimples" (that you pop)
