Can shampoo make my comedonal acne worse? i like to wash my face with it too after the hair
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shampoo is : Usually a bit too drying for the face, but washing the face is good! if you dry the face too much and deprive the skin of natural oils it will overcompensate by making more oil so in theory could possibly make acne worse, but i doubt it. Try to stick with acne washes for your face!
