Acne and hair colouring

Dear Anne,

Thank you for your letter and your sweet words. You have to know that anything is possible, also when it comes to improving acne and blemishes.

It is important to understand that acne and blemishes can be a big “problem” even if it is only “a little” acne on your face. Some experience it as more spread out across their face like you, while others have it all over their face. And even if you have a few, scattered blemishes or many all over, it can and should be treated in the exact same way.

To have a guide in how to treat your acne , I would recommend you to read my cure for acne here.

Also, acne on the back can be treated in the same way.

When it comes to hair colouring and acne, it is not something that I have heard before. Acne is caused by an over-production of the acne-bacteria in your skin and it can happen when there is an irritation (for example, friction with clothes, jewellery, hands on the face, hair products, etc.). Instead of blaming the hair colour, I would rather point out that you at that particular time experienced several hormonal changes, which can normally increase the production of acne.

Regarding my advice, they are not only directed towards acne, since it is several things that in general can affect our skin in a negative way. But I do think that you should continue your healthy life style and avoid that factors that are damaging for your skin.

I hope you will have a great weekend I wish the best future for you and your skin!
