Shampoo makes me break out. i did "no-poo" for a few months & my skin cleared up, but my hair was gross. any idea what in shampoo can cause acne?

SLS free shampoo: Studies show that sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in shampoo may be a cause of acne in some people. Please try a SLS free shampoo and see if that helps. I was going to recommend baby shampoo but unfortunately that contains SLS. Google SLS free shampoo to find one to try. Try a small amount first to make sure you are safe please. Good luck.
