It was a pure stroke of miracle I figured out that it was shampoo that was giving me back acne. The only shampoo I might consider using again was the mint bronners pure castile soap.
Go easy on the hot water, I have tried to slowly get to warm vs hot showers as hot water helps dry out the skin by reducing natural oils. I remember years ago hearing that you should start with hot water to open the pores but finish with cool water.... I never made it to the cool water though as the hot water felt so good ... but seems it's a bit hard on the skin.
