[PSA] Finally uncovered a major cause of my acne.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
DETERGENT! Ever since I've switched to non-bio I've noticed that I never get painful bumps on my temple or small whitehead pimples alongside my jaw and cheek. My gf pointed out that despite me using a fresh towel on my pillowcase every night, I still get spots where my face is touching the pillow. 'Perhaps it's the chemicals in the Ariel pods you use when you wash your sheets, clothes etc.' I switched to non-bio (more expensive however) and noticed I wouldn't get breakouts anymore. Recently I went to stay at my parents home and slept on a fresh pillowcase that was washed with normal detergent and I broke out slowly again. I still take anti-biotics (Trimethoprim) and use ointments/creams (Differin 0.1%) which have helped greatly but to finally eradicate the 'random' spot, I've opted to use non-bio from now on. Wondering if anyone else had a similar eureka moment! All this time I thought cleaning the crap out of pillowcases and towels with lavender smelling chemicals would help me but in fact did the opposite.
